Not being at school.
Painting.
Sculpting.
Sewing.
Going to gigs (Wheeey! Teratoid and D-Control tomorrow hopefully.)

How come to most people it's called concerts, but when alt kids go to them it's called gigs or shows?

Duane · 05-29-2009, 05:31 PM

Gig sounds cooler to say than concert. Not as cool as saying giggity, though.

I love the rainforest and everything and everyone that lives in it.

Except the fire ants.

And the leeches get a little annoying, too.

Me and my brother debated that long ago and we arrived at the following conclusion.

Concert is reserved for big name bands while show is reserved for small bands. The dividing line between big name and small bands was whether or not they did their own sound check. Since alt bands seldom break big (in comparison to mainstream rock) most alt kids are going to shows rather than concerts.

We'd joke about it at gigs. We'd see a fairly popular band at a fairly large gig and ask, "Is this a concert or a show." If the vocalist came out and instantly started to sing it was a concert. If the first thing out of his mouth was, "Check. Check. Check." it was a show.

Then there's the argument that kids call them shows and gigs to make it sound more underground--even if it's not justified. Some mallgoth kid will say something like, "Yeah, I was in the front row of the Manson show last night" in an attempt to make a 30,000 seat arena sound like an intimate club gig despite the fact that the front row was actually 50 yards from the performer.

Oddly, when I became a bootleg trader I learned that nearly all traders use show to refer to any band's performance regardless of size or popularity.

I love my bed and am about to go lie in it, so very tired. Nu'night.

DRM · 06-03-2009, 11:30 PM

At the moment,
I love my bed after staying up late.
I love the way Chadwick looks when he yawns.
I love when I take good picture, on the first try.
I love the feeling of the first time I kiss someone.
I love when I find a good book.
I love finishing a sewing project just in time to wear it to school the next day.

SiouxsiePernova · 06-04-2009, 07:24 AM

Finishing all of my coursework is a very satisfying feeling.

Lady_Alyce · 06-04-2009, 12:23 PM

I love being praised by my instructor even when my strength is waning.
I really like it when I win the cases I am presented in logic/rhetoric class--scratch that--any class.
I really love fog; Also sitting by the window with the lights off when it rains.
I really love riding a horse alone. I really love it when I work with children.
I love it when the house lights go down, the curtains open, and the dance begins.

It's always been gigs to me.
My grandparents call them concerts...

Still Jack · 06-05-2009, 01:29 AM

I love burning things.
I love being drunk all night in the city and then going to the first bakers that´s open for breakfast with my friends.
I love fast.
I love seriously dumb bets.
I love Roxy for being a complete mug one second and then a certified genius the next.
I love parties in the forest where you can´t see 2 feet in front of you.

Sigh... really? Nobody knows this?

Ok, fine.

A concert is a musical performance.
A show is any form of performance, usually this is applied to alt bands because in alt band concerts there is a visual element, as well as slam dancing/moshing/stage diving, or some other participatory aspect.
A gig is a slang term for a job, particularly when it involves booking musicians.

There, great big fucking mystery solved.

Beowulf · 06-05-2009, 10:53 AM

I love my record collection !!!.

Why was that question so upsetting to you? I'm honestly perplexed.

I fancy lengthy naps, curling up next to a warm fire, and slumbering in pleasant sun beams creeping in through a nearby window.

korinna5555 · 07-26-2009, 06:51 PM

I love Ruby Tuesday's red raspberry tea, nag champa incense, and long conversations with good friends.

Haha. :]

Lord Whiskerton · 07-27-2009, 01:42 PM

A stroll through the park
Consuming a milkshake without thinking of the consequences
Waking up at around 4 o' clock in the morning and laying immobile on my bed

Geoluhread · 07-27-2009, 01:43 PM

I love long-hair cats.

Malice In Wonderland · 07-27-2009, 03:28 PM

I love it when Ziggy eats my mum's clothes and I get them because she won't wear them after.
I love it when Jerry sits on the table and eats my dinner with me.
I love knowing that I'm in a bit of a pickle, and I have to have a horrible conversation tomorrow, yet I still know that regardless of what happens, I'm gonna get drunk with friends and get laid from it.
I love getting paid for not working hard.
I love Frosty Jack's!

Lord Whiskerton · 07-27-2009, 04:03 PM

Fancy hats
White gloves
Chicken nuggets

Mike Rose · 07-28-2009, 03:16 AM

I love..

To have a good talk about religion and history.
To help a good friend in need of talk.
To have my cat beside me before I go to sleep.
Coffee in the morning.
To date on the local coffee cafe or on old graveyards.
To look at art.
To write poetry.
Listning to music all day long.

Lord Whiskerton · 07-28-2009, 02:37 PM

Sampling new, unfamiliar cuisine

I love going out with my friends without any of us knowing where we're actually going and ending up in some strange,unidentified part of town.
