I usually wander off to the hip hop room when I’m out clubbing with my friends, if that counts. lol Then I come back and they’re all like, “DUDE! Where the have you been? Bla bla bla”
I love house and edm, but I can’t listen to it all night long for some reason. I mean, I can, and I have, but if there’s a hip hop room in the club I'm at, you better believe I’ll be going back and forth all night. |

My ex-Assistant Manager was from Chicago. He used to hang out with Bad Boy Bill "back in the day" and get high with him all the time. |
We should totally find him a cookie. |

I can understand some people freaking out about going out alone but going to the movies solo is totally normal to me.
I have spoken to people who refuse to go see movies alone like wtf. You aren't supposed to talk during a movie! It makes no difference if you are solo or in a group.
Most times I have gone to clubs in group ( not having met them up at the club but actually driven there together ) I spend most of the night running around the club and when it's time to go I find everyone and they ask me where I was all night long :haha:
ok a major downside of going out in groups:
Last night I went to a concert and was meeting up with a friend there.
I was only there for the two opening acts which were totally awesome but then came on the headliner .... THE RAPTURE! gah I hate their music.
I spent the whole time they played with my eyes shut, listening to some ambient in my earbuds ( yeah for isolating earbuds!) It was interesting feeling the bass while listening to some ambient.
I felt like such a rebel :toothless |

I know. I mentioned one time that I listened to it and the only thing he said to me after that was, "Oh dude, hey, I got high with him! You gotta hear these stories man! STORIES!" |

| I rarely go out alone, however, I have in the past and normally enjoy it equally well as going out with people. I almost always end up seeing people I know throught the night and/or I'll end up meeting new people. Sometimes it's more fun to go alone because you can do what you want when you want without having to consider others. Even if I do go out in a group I will normally end up alone for a good portion of the night. |

Only once. Back in highschool it was all house parties anyway, so even if I didn't meet up with people and head over to the party with them, I knew 90% of the people there anyway.
I've only gone out alone once, which was after moving to Adelaide. There was an event on I wanted to check out, and since I didn't know anyone here it was either go alone or not go at all. Wasn't sure about it at first but in the end I'm glad I went, the crowd was awsome and I had heaps of fun just hanging out with randoms and meeting new people when I wasn't dancing.
Could be twice I guess if you count the music festival I went to at Uni last weekend, but it wasn't that great and I ended up just leaving to go chill at home 3 hours in. |

Always out with my mates usually, I need people to talk and have a laugh with. If you walk into a club or crowded bar on your tod it looks a bit sad being Billy no mates.
I occassionally go to my local pub by myself to read the newspaper and have a couple of crafty pints, but a lot of people who drink there know me and they always come over for a bit of banter and a drink. |

Most times go in groups for several reasons.
1) All of my friends are people I choose to be friends with precisely because we click, and I enjoy spending time with them and sharing experiences with them.
2) Because Most of my friends happen to be close friends, it creates a fairly intimate atmosphere. Hence if randoms approach me or try to interfere with my group I tend to get annoyed (as do my friends), unless said randoms are super interesting or I am in a very specific mood. As most people tend to go out in groups I have no reason to assume other people would react any differently to me. So, even though it does happen occasionally, I wouldn't go out relying on the fact that i'll meet a group/person that I can hang out with... This is less true for house parties as a lot of people tend to end up solo.
3) If you're at a noisy club where you can't talk to each other, it's much more fun to dance with your good friends than by yourself. If you try to approach/pick up girls, you look much more normal if you've come out of a group of friends, than if you're the weird guy that's been dancing by himself in the corner all night. |

yeah...it's just that he doesn't want to enounter clients and word goes back to the courthouse, etc.
and the house parties i'm talking about are umass style, thrown by umass students...the police coming is not unusual. |
The more I read about US university parties the more they remind me of Australian high school parties. Must be the high legal drinking age over there I guess... :conf: |

I only go out alone if I know for a fact I'm going to met people I know there. Otherwise, errm, it just feels freaky for some reason. I'm utterly crap at social skills, so being there by myself most definitely would make me feel like a loser.
And as much as I like music, it's not ALL about the music. Being with a bunch of cool friends listening to total crap tends to be more enjoyable for me, than being with a bunch of stuck-up idiots listening to a great set. |
