Tip 196: Don't wait to always have company to go to the movies, or the theater, or ballet, or opera. Just get dressed up and go on your own when you feel like it.

Instant coffee. It certain circumstances it is OK as a substitute, but to drink it exclusively is not a good show in my book. Tea bags are fine.Originally Posted by Drkshadow03
Absolutely. I went to see a top production of Othello last night and I've booked a ticket for a classical concert for Sunday night. Good tip. I find it better to go with company, but I would rather go on my own than to not see it at all.
Getting obsessed with theatre productions. I'm doing two/three per week for this and next month, both amateur and professional productions - it's also fun dragging my brother along to a few of them!
Tip 197 - Introduce people to the theatre.
It's fun.
So very true. I have had some great nights going to London to watch an opera alone. You meet new people and enjoy a great opera without the bother of having uninterested friends or girls with you.
There's the stuff made from acorns, and the stuff made from dandelions. There's also some vegan stuff - which i forget the name of - and camp Coffee made from chicory which is quite nice.
As a middle aged bloke there are some problems associated with going alone to the cinema.
Tip 198: If you are a bloke and you go to see a movie alone - then sit right at the front and not the "creepy" back.
the naughty kids at the back may target you though.
The last film I went to see alone was Lord of the Rings The Return of the King. No-one will go with me now even though I've stopped laughing too loudly...
Or your offspring either!
Tip 198: Don't own too many things lest they begin to own you.
Tip 199: Embarace both calm and chaos, for they are brother and sister to one another.
Now if I was only half as wise as I sound.
Tip 200: Read a good book once in awhile.
