Have you got no friends? Its tough when you ain't got nobody to hang out with. But there is a quick fix out there. Thats right, the concert. Why? Because even though no body knows you at a concert, you instantly become part of a group of people. Just like those social gatherings you wish you could fit in at.
A large crowd is the perfect way to release some of that built up desire for a tiny bit of human touch. And also the perfect opportunity to seem popular! Just prepare by putting on the indie-est of get ups (you can always get away with just your normal nerdy attire with the addition of a tartan scarf) then dance like you've got the spirit or fold your arms and stand right in the front row. Everyone will just assume all your other cool indie pals are out having a cigarette while you are busy digging the band.
When the band finishes, if you still haven't built up the courage to talk to that hot librarian chick with the thick black frames, then do the quick dash just before the lights are turned back on with a classic gasp "look at the time" as you view your chrome covered plastic watch with leather strap.
Hopefully at the next gig the librarian will remember you and she'll ask you out for a oolong tea the following Sunday.
Knowing me, Water Creatures, Knowing you, Lonely Guy, with the song To Own An Animal:

I disagree with this entire blog. Concerts can be one of the loneliest places in the world when you have no friends. In fact, paradoxically often the more the people around, the more you are reminded of the black emptiness inside. Hence suicide bombers always seem to go off in crowded areas, its not because they are trying to kill people, its just when they feel at their most despairing that a world doesn't understand them...heart breaking really. Sexy beats rdoc, keep them rockin'
I want more joy.
