One of my friends has been going on for a long time about a local band who used to be fab (not well known nationally but well known locally and renowned for a great stage show).
Anyway, they broke up years ago, and I had bnever heard of them.
Then a few months ago she heard they were reforming and doing a special 1 off gig - she really wanted to go and then said could I come with her....of course, sounds like a laugh, good band, and she was going to buy both the tickets...
However, I'm not REALLY feeling like backing out...
1 - She is ALSO going out to the theatre that night, with some other people. She has discovered today that the show at the theatre doesn't finish until 11pm.
2 - The plan was that I'd meet her at the theatre when it comes out and we'd then go accross to this gig - its at a venue literally just acoss the road from the theatre.
However, I'm now going to have to meet her, and wait for her in the street at 11pm. I've got no-one to go out pubbing with until then, so I'll essentially be coming from home into town at this time.
I did say that if we went in at 11 then we'd miss most of the band, but apparently they are on stage until 2am.
I really don't feel up to leaving the house to go out at 10:45pm - I copuld take the car but even then it would be bedtime by the time I was leaving and the chances of me lasting until 2am are greatly decreased.
But she has bought the tickets...
And I said I'd go...........
But starting a night out at 11pm, when I'm 40 and frankly tired....
I know she really wants to go but I really don't want to go out at that time of night. We have 3dds and my DH will be at home - its not like we could go out for a meal before that or anything as we have no babysitter and no money
