Meeting Bands

I had a great time going out to my son's record label event last night. His band and two others played. I know the guy who owns the label, but I hadn't heard him play before, and all three bands were fantastic. I hadn't had much sleep, so I wasn't sure I'd be able to hang the entire time. This show, like many, didn't start until nearly ten at night, late for me. All the band guys and the folks who come out on a regular basis to hear them know me fairly well; they're always glad to see me and they greet me with hugs and kisses. This is wonderful, and I love these kids to death. Getting out is good for me, but I need to make more of an effort to expand my horizons. As much as I enjoy the band and their fans, I might be better off in an environment where everyone wasn't half my age. I don't mind feeling like everybody's mom, but it would be nice to meet more people my age.

At the other end of the entertainment spectrum, I have my first sewing class tomorrow night. I don't want to have preconceptions here, but I'm guessing that the group will be mostly female and there's a chance some will be my age. What I'm sort of saying without saying is that I wouldn't mind meeting a man I'd like to spend time with, and I don't think that's likely to happen in either of these environments. I am, however, getting out of the house. That alone puts me a little closer to meeting friends and/or lovers.
