an unpopular opinion, but let me be real with you.

I love music, but I don’t honestly like going to shows that much. I say that I do and I always say that I “mean to go to more shows” but I do not actually mean to do that because I don’t actually like doing it that much. It somehow makes me embarrassed for other people and for myself to see them communally and reverently enjoying a thing. It’s also a lot of standing and I stand for a living. Like: oh hooray, extra standing. My old bones couldn’t be more delighted. Sort of exactly how I feel about church.

I am taking the night off work tonight to see Of Montreal, though, and I’ve been trying to psych my old flea-bitten bones up for it. I’m sure it will be great. I worry about not being enthusiastic enough. (Again: how I always felt at church.) I like a comfortably aging hipster crowd, though. That’s my milieu.
