I just got back from the Nickel Creek concert. It was astounding! I've seen lots of mandolin players and listened to a lot of mandolin picking, but Chris Thile blows them all away! The whole set was great. They even did "Doubting Thomas" (one of my favorite Nickel Creek songs) because of a request.
As much as I liked the concert, it was a bit awkward. I've never been to a concert by myself. I've always been with at least ten friends (not exaggerating). A couple of my friends were there, but sat in a different spot because of the assigned seating on the tickets. It was just wierd to sit in the middle of a concert by myself. It's kinda like eating by yourself in a restaraunt... times ten.
Call it insecurity; call it vulnerability; call it whatever you want, but in retrospect, I should've gotten someone (read: anyone) to go with me.
Didn't even have to be a date. It could've been a friend coming to enjoy the concert with me.

Maybe next time.
