First of all I just wanted to say that I just turned 19 and I'm now allowed to see some of my fav DJ's spin. But really sad to say, out of all my friends I'm pretty much the only one who listens to EDM or trance music.
I always never have anyone to go with or sometimes I shy away from going to events because I always though it would be rather weird or awkward going alone. I've actually backed out from going to a couple of events because of this, recently Armin at Plush. I would love to see PVD in May but I'm debating whether or not I should go. I asked a few friends but they don't want to drop 60 bucks on a show that they know nothing off. I actually gave a PVD set to a friend and told him to give it a listen. Told him if he liked it, the guys coming in May and we could go together, unfortunately his not really into that stuff.
I'm actually really shy and I'm not a crazy guy. I don't drink or smoke or do drugs. I'm not there to pick girls up, just want to listen to my favoirte DJ's spin for 2 to 3 hours. I mostly there for the music. I'd probably be just standing there throwing my head from side to side and tapping my foot on the floor. Not one of those guys would jump up and down like a monkey with his arms in air.
Just wanted to know your options on this, Would it be awkward to go to an event alone. How do you guys usually go down to big events, with friend, etc...
Love to see either Tiesto or PVD this summer. |

A classic TA moment.
Dude, you just go! .. get a pair of balls and a personallity
and come on out and greet the people.
I moved here a year ago and knew noone as well so I know
how it can be .. Van's a snobby town, but .. whatever
keep rockin' at it and you'll find your crowd. |

going alone ain't that bad. I've going a number of time to see DJs by myself.. its actually pretty nice, and you don't really talk to anyone that much at a trance event anyway. You could also meet some TA's there, like start a PVD roll call or something and meet someone there.
Recently though, whenever I decide to go to an event regardless of the fact that I may be alone, my friends realize that it is an event worth going to (or they feel sorry for me haha). Either way, it work out well.
You also have to start drinking. heavily. :D |

| hey know the exact feeling. Last year i convinced a few friends to see ferry corsten out at plush, they backed out at the last minute literally the night of and I sold the tickets just before the event. Luckily I went bymyself and was watching from the back enjoying myself until he threw on his mix of force of gravity. I was on the dancefloor till the end of the actual adaigo for strings. No more than a few drinks in me either. what a night and you do meet a lot of TA's. Here in toronto a lot of the TA's go out to the clubs bythemselves knowing there will be other ta's present. ask around, people in the TA community knows how to have a good time and by the looks of it, Van will be very busy the next couple of months. wish i was there. |

| Going alone can be nice. I don't spend a lot of time talking/hanging out with my friends most shows anyways so its no difference for me! There are always lots of friendly people you can talk to if you want too.. and heck I bet you most people won't even notice you are alone! |
