I only do indoor concerts for the reasons you've cited. Outdoors is too overwhelming, especially the festivals. There's far too much stimuli (weather variables, daylight, being able to see everyone in the crowd, etc. ) Also the sound doesn't carry well in outdoor venues. I feel agoraphobic around large crowds with random movement. Indoor venues are preferable because everyone has their seat (I don't do GA or floors) and it's dark so that I don't have to see all the people. The shows are shorter with only one or two acts, so it's less overwhelming.
Worthwhile until it started:
Springsteen: so boring; I was surprised. Stones: Good but not great. The Who. Meh (they're getting old).
Amazing: Van Halen with DLR x many, AC/DC, Bowie, the original Beatlemania.
Could kick myself for giving away my tickets: Tom Petty (10 years ago), KISS (in the 70s)
I'm seeing ELO and Elton John this autumn. I saw Elton once before but it was outdoors (frown).
I've seen many more shows I'm just drawing a blank.
Do you like playing charades?

I know just what you mean ~ when I worked at the festivals we used to take pit stops at other stall and pitch holder's tents, vans, buses etc, along with the bands as well. I used to manage bands so I knew loads of the roadies and security types, and working behind the scenes at festivals is definitely a war better experience than being out in the thick of all the punter hoards ~ bless everyone of them.

I know so exactly what you mean here too ~ plus I have Nominal Aphasia so recalling the names of people and bands get really tricky, along with only really hearing lyrics as part of the music rather than as distinct words ~ so trying to describe bands by their Name and lyrics is often not a worthwhile endeavour. I really appreciate lyric booklets oddly enough, but I only recall names and stuff if they remain in constant use ~ with three months out of use and until refreshed out of mind or if by chance session.
Oh, by the way ~ I quite like Elton John but not everything he has dome, whereas I really like ELO in general. Are you seeing them as separate performances or is it support gig?

I like playing charades very very much ~ although I have not done so for ages.
Are you a charade styler yourself?
I'm seeing them separately. Together would be fun, though!
This is Elton's Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour so I hope he plays a lot of the GYBR album and his classics.
I can't charade my way out of a paper bag. I have no non-verbal gestures. lol.
Forgive me for the following inquiry in terms of a suggestion, but would you not be able to use a torch-light to indicate 'yay' or 'neigh' for question driven charades, or else to point to the appropriate objects (book for book and DVD for film etc, etc) and or cards with the required descriptors on them ~ perhaps?

Oh by the absolute and infinite I like mushrooms ~ vitamin D rich and detoxing yummies. Most good when cooked and some good when eaten raw.
Do you have favourite scents and aromas etc?

I suppose I "could" do those strategies but they wouldn't come naturally and the extra energy required wouldn't be worth it. Plus, I'd likely need to be in a fairly large group of people to play charades. They'd be laughing and such. Yuck.
In Kindergarten we had to go in the middle of the circle and act out what we wanted to be as adults. All the other girls were pretending to hold babies or administer medicine. I pretended to be a writer by wiggling my hand, and indicated I'd like to write the scripts for Grover on Sesame Street by trying to walk like Grover. No one had a clue what I was doing and I was teased about it for the balance of that year. I never did tell them my answer.
Scents: Vanilla. Lilacs. Thunderstorms. Boat exhaust (weird, but sentimental). Puppy fur.
Chlorine (sentimental). Brand new dolls (Christmas) -- they smelled like vanilla and baby powder.
*I love asparagus*
Do you have any favourite sandwiches?

Turkey is usually my choice, unless it's a catered buffet with those egg salad sandwiches cut up in triangle-shaped pieces.
(I'm sentimental about those triangles!)
Are you sentimental? (semi-mental)? ![]()

No ~ as they go through expensive pencils and pencil crayons way too quickly, so much better to sharpen them by hand with a twist sharpener, of which I have two, and if it was not for my fine motor skills problem ~ I would sharpen my pencils and pencil crayons with a blade.
Do you have artistic inclinations or aspirations yourself?

I'm quite interested in art history and colour theory.
In terms of my own skill, I can't draw and I can't sculpt. I'm terrible at 3D and spatial sense. I'm OK with abstract painting but it isn't a style I particularly like, so I don't do it much. Somehow, I'm able to sketch with charcoal fairly well because it can be more casual, and I can blend.
I'm obsessed with adult colouring books (Check out the Wuthering Heights one on Amazon UK; it's incredibly beautiful).
I"m also obsessed with the smell of playdoh and the smell of fingerpaint (childhood).
Do you like gardening?

I really enjoy Shakespeare as well (primarily his tragicomedies). I liked Much Ado and The Comedy of Errors quite a bit but I can't remember the convoluted plots any more. I've been thinking of rereading some of my favourites.
If there was only left in the world one of each of our equally then favoured types of Shakespeare's works ~ that would make the honour for me of being a gentleman really really really suck

I haven't seen any film adaptations of Wuthering Heights because I've read the synopses and they downplay the psychopathy involved, in favour of mass-marketing a love story. I don't see WH as a love story whatsoever, but rather a tale of narcissism and violence. In this case I clearly prefer the book. Likewise I've seen a few adaptations of Jane, but again the entire Bertha Mason story was so watered-down it was nearly non-existent. This eliminated the suspense in favour of romance (arrgggh), and missed the entire theme of the novel (self-expression).
I met a young lady several times in my late teens and early twenties who was seriously and university stylie into Wuthering Heights and the Bronte sisters, who thought the film was, "An insult to the injury of it ever having been made!", and made pretty much the same analysis on it you have. Also ~ the Bertha Mason fade was covered in 'a making of' documentary too about an older film and a new television series adaptation some time back. I know my mother watched it too because we discussed it, and watched the television version. She forgets sometimes that I had read her whole library as a child, with it being full of serious reading material. My childhood was well facilitated for as far as the getting going with reading at home thing went.

If you choose to read WH please let me know. We can have a book club as I've read it at least once a year for my entire adult life. Re: Charlotte, her best work in my opinion was Villette. You may wish to consider it.
The choice to read JE, WH and Villette has already been made. The consideration was finalised yesterday ~ as I Googled to recall the name of the Bronte book I had read, and those three stood out all aglow. It is just a case of getting them now and fitting them into the reading list. I have got three books on the go at the moment, and my inner critic keeps on and on and over and over again firing up with them, so they're quite hard going. Anyways ~ thank you for your confirmatory suggestion.

Cheers.
Cheers ~ definitely, major bonus.
