concert adventures
We went to a concert tonight. He suggested it early this afternoon and we decided what the heck and got tickets. The venue was outside but they did have some tent thingies up which was nice since it rained a bit. Luckily the heavy duty rain happened prior to the festivities.
The music was pretty good and we managed to find a spot that wasn't too crowded. Now although we were in a darkened corner in the back somehow people still were pulled in by Das' magnetism, it was amusing to watch several men flirt with him rather shamelessly although we were obviously together. Although to be fair they did include me in their antics, I too was chatted up and offered drinks but it was obvious that the he was the main attraction. Kinda tripped me out since the concert wasn't held at a gay club and I've never seen men be so forward to an unknown man in a mixed crowd particularly a man with a woman. They were pleasant lads though, good natured about not being taken up on their thinly veiled offers. They even took up guarding me whenever he had to go to the restroom or stepped a few yards away to smoke. It was cute.
The ages of the average attendee surprised me but I guess it makes sense since New Order was big in the 80s that the folks most into them would be somewhere between our ages. I couldn't hang until the end which was scheduled to be at 10:30pm so we left just after 9 since all that standing is tiring even in sneakers. Plus I just plain tire easily. Glad we went though.
