Idle Chat : Why Don’t Girls Go To Gigs?

February 13th, 2009 by donaltest1

Lauren: social networks are brill
i find it so much easier to approach people that way than face to face.
me: oh totally
its prob not a good thing tho :p
Lauren: sure that how we met too i guess?
me: yeah
when did we first meet face to face?
at a gig
Lauren: dunno
GIAA? or a soundcheck at Globe?
me: ohh
yes, soundcheck it was
then we did bump into each other at GIAA after
aww you cool deadly gal
im so glad i met you
Lauren: i was only there for the last song :P
yeah i’m glad to know u too
:)
me: you should be
i rock!
you roll!
Lauren: lol
its rare to find girls who like the same kinda music i like
its more male orientated stuff we like i find
me: yes definitely
that bugs me as well
i dunno
i dont understand why gender matters at all
you know that never occurs to me when i’m checking out a band
“oh this is boys music”
Lauren: i do realise it when im at a gig
me: yeh well
Lauren: ‘oh this is guys music’
me: when the reek of testosterone in tiny venues hits its hard not to!
Lauren: :P
u remember i was telling you there was rarely ever girls at my gigs..
you think my stuff is ‘guys music’???
me: no
i just dont think girls go to gigs
in fact
why dont girls go to gigs?
Lauren: they spend their money on accessories such as lipstick and bags
or maybe they’re just not interested
i dont like when girls go to gigs
me: heh
Lauren: cos they talk when i want to listen to the band. they talk shite about X Y and Z’s boyfriend who did this to A B or C.
does my head in
me: lol we do that!!
Lauren: we do that outside in between the bands
no when the fucking band is playing
me: hahaha !!! thats going on my blog :D
Lauren: do that
me: you’re an angel.
