NEVER?

NEVER?
I don't know many people who've gone clubbing by themselves. It's only 'cos we're on a nerdy internet forum that the count is so high. In the real world, as populated by cool people, it's quite rare I'd imagine.

see, with me, the few times i've been clubbing on my own i've not got twatted or pissed cos i'm a bit paranoid about getting off my rocker with no-one i know with me to keep an eye on me in case anything happens. but then i get a bit bored just having a couple of beers all night
You just need to find some middle-ground.
A few beans never sends me off into a state that I couldn't get myself home safely. Helps me chat to random people easier though!
You could but you very only Glastonbuty from HMV? Those must have been they days, indeed Dodger!
I go to quite a few gigs on my own .... quite happy to do so if neither the wife nor any of my mates is into the band in question and just have a beer or two, a few chats with people standing nearby and enjoy the music.
Clubbing these days is a bit of a rare event anyway; I'd certainly never go in one on my own.

yes.
er, what?
Was it a 'just add water' packet? And if you added too much it'd be muddy?
Probably more common with drug-orientated clubs than with beer-drinking ones, though.

like you, i'd do a gig on my own but not a club. i'd feel a bit of a twat dancing, gurning and talking to myself.

A friend of mine used to go to Brecon Jazz festival on his own every year.
We'd see him staggering around stoned off his face. He didn't really need people to be with him cause he was too munted to talk to anyone properly anyways. We'd breifly say hi and then leave him to it.

One small step for me
I've been to hundreds of gigs on my own, and I still prefer to go alone than go with my partner or friends. I just like having the freedom to be able to do what the fuck I like and not to have to talk to anyone.
I've done clubs alone once or twice but I just feel too self-conscious and I don't enjoy it nearly as much. Just feel a bit of a saddo really.

Gigs - occasionally, if I really want to see something but can't find anyone else who does. Given the choice I wouldn't go alone.
Clubs - not usually. Sometimes when I'm abroad, if I'm travelling alone, for the same reasons as Ianw stated earlier in the thread. At home I feel a bit wrong going to a club on my own so rarely do it. The exceptions tend to be when everyone I arrived with has gone home, in which case I'm usually quite happy blundering about by myself for a few hours. And sometimes I will go on to some afterparty type thing at stupid o'clock by myself if everyone else has abandoned ship. It depends very much on the type of club night - in some cases I'm quite happy to semi-deliberately lose everyone I came with, for a while.

I am about to have to start going to things alone- I'm moving to another country and I don't yet know anyone, and I'm buggered if I'm not going to go check out the local scene for want of a crew. Hopefully I'll be able to meet people that way- more so than if I just stayed in on my tod anyway!
I've done it before, but that was when I was young and energetic and didn't know anyone. Now I'm older and more tired, but hopefully I'll find the wherewithal.

Geneva? I wish I had something positive to say about Geneva. Er....it's very clean!
They've got a very good festival (electron) on over the easter weekend, so that's a good start.
It's a very pleasant place but there's little to do, and it is ferociously expensive (though I'll be paid accordinglyish). I'm going to have to learn to enjoy outdoor pursuits!

you could always go to that heroin park, though I think that may have closed down now. oh, and it's in Zurich.

Although it's probably a good country in which to be addicted to heroin, I'm just not sure it's for me...
Yeah I'm going to have to learn to enjoy snowboarding without injuring myself!

I've only been once, it was brilliant. But they've apparently cut back on roaming around. And now it might not be on this year.
