hi i'm old rone 10/25 '18

There's so little music i want to see live and most of it happens 60-90 minutes away so when it's on a weeknight i'm too old to want to endure the commute there in rush hour and back when it's midnight and i'm exhausted.

Hi. I'm old, too. [shares a bottle of gummy vitamins]

Gummy fiber is the best old person invention yet!

Hi, I'm old too. I used to like going to plays damn near every night of the week. Now I don't like doing anything on any night of the week.

By the way, I saw someone pretending to be you the other day. Check out the license plate frame on this Tesla.

Impostor syndrome always means something different when it comes to me.

EXACTLY.

Hi, I'm old but I still manage to take dance classes every night of the week because dancing is invigorating, and if I didn't I'd be stiff and creaky all day instead of just in the morning.

Well hello there! [holds opera glasses up to rheumy eyes looking for posts newer than 2015]

And is he still as excited about his Q?

There's been a new development, Karen. I have a dance couple friend named Bill and Susie. Susie used to be in the Q Club with me, but then she got a new car and it didn't get a Q, so she got kicked out of the club. Meanwhile her husband Bill, who used to be on the outside looking in, got a new car, and it did have a Q! So Bill replaced Susie.

Then Bill got *another* new car, a Tesla. It remains to be seen if it will get a Q, but even if it doesn't, Bill will remain in the club until the lease on his previous new car (which does have a Q) runs out.

Bill and Susie voted for Trump, but I still love them anyway. If I were to dump everyone who voted for Trump I would lose half my dance friends. Such is life in Orange County.

Bill and Susie are adorable. I'm glad you kept them anyway, too. I'd lose my dad and several surprising people. It was a polarizing election.

Part of the benefit of moving into the downtown queer neighbourhood is walkable access to music events ... that start too late on weeknights for me to consider going to.

For what it's worth, I was too old for Bay Area rush hour back in my 30s.

Promoters in my city finally woke up and now book bands from 7-10pm every Friday night. It's packed with people who have money to spend on music. Weird, right?

We keep talking about hitting local jazz events at various lounges and eateries, but... old.

I always say the hardest part about doing any activity is putting your shoes on. Once I'm there I'm usually happy... but convincing myself to actually go and not punk out is harder every day.

I am a homebody now... and in honesty, I am a bedbody. We pretty much never leave the bed unless we absolutely have to.
Jill "xtingu" Knapp
I'm more than a tiny bit relieved to hear that I'm not the only bedbody. We are not seen, so not known about, but I believe there are many of us, for various reasons. XOXO
Karen Kuhl
When I am anyplace other than bed, I count down the minutes until I can be in bed. BED!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?

I know! It's only at one venue, but it is paaacked with people every Friday night. It's called #LiveMusicForEarlyBirds (or as I see it, "Live Music For Sane People," or perhaps "Live Music For People Over 40") and we loooovez playing it.
Jill "xtingu" Knapp
really?!??! where? ... down here in Dover there are 7pm-10pm live music options on Wednesday and Thursday nights. . . but I'm usually stumped on Friday.
