#65) Go see a local Band.
This is from a local perspective.
I was in a local band. You do NOT want to go see a local band as a first date, unless you are trying to judge how much BS a person is willing to deal with. Local bands play in dive bars, or expensive bars. You are either going to end up hearing:
"Play some Skynard!"
"Play some AC/DC" (Which comes out sounding like Ay SEE DEE see because they are so drunk)
or paying way to much and not being able to hear. Around here, local bands play in the less than pleasurable bars in less than favorable circumstances.
Now, if you live in a big city, that has cool places that allow original music, it might not be too bad, but make sure that it's not a terrible band. There are some horrid bands out there, and you don't want to go see a terrible show that makes you want to shove crochet hooks through your ears.
