CONCERTS
I'm a seasonal concert goer, which means I go a few times a season, usually see a bunch of bands at once, then stop for a few months. I went into the city a lot when I was younger but now I have too much to take care of around the house (I'm old).
I'm still putting this list together, not sure it could possibly comprehensive, but I'll try my best! There are also lots of local shows and last-minute things I attended that won't reflect here.

| Memory |
After this show I was severely injured and could not walk, due 100% to the crush of the crowd and being in a particularly intense spot just on the outskirts of the pit. I still think about that night. Everyone moved together, and supported each other, but you couldn't find your feet (probably numb under someone else's foot). It was a great lineup and everyone was super into it. When we were into the depth of the pandemic phase 1 and I was missing the FUCK out of concerts, this is one of the shows I was thinking of.

This was another finally realized lifelong dream concert and I'm glad I got to see them two nights in a row. Even Deeper gutted me. The transition from The Frail to The Wretched live was so magical. Every moment was everything.

I had anxiety the entire time and I can't believe I went out to a concert for a band I didn't know during a pandemic, all for a dude who later ghosted me. Rude.
