What's the latest time a band/artist can come on stage before you think 'this is too fucking late for me'?
Probably about 10pm.
Do you like being UP FRONT?
No, if it's a standing show I prefer to find myself a space near the back of the venue, preferably with not too many people around me. I'm like Sheldon Cooper at gigs. I don't like crowds, and I can never be arsed standing around for ages before the band come on, which you tend to have to do if you want to bag a space near the front. My ideal gig M.O is to arrive ten minutes before the band take the stage, just enough time to buy a beer and find my spot.
If it's a seated gig I don't mind being near the front.
What do you do about pissing etc? What are your piss plans?
Like most people have said, don't drink more than a couple of beers, and nip to the loo as late as possible before they come on.
Would you hate it if the band/artist copped you yawning?
I would, so I practise stealth yawning.
If someone gave you five hundred dollars to miss the show, would you?
Depends who it is, but nine times out of ten, yes.
I can think of some shows I've seen where almost no amount of money would have persuaded me to miss them though - Television, Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, Kraftwerk, Caitlin Rose, Dexy's, The Delines, Songhoy Blues, and an Arvo Part orchestral concert.
