The last time I went and saw The Head and the Heart - they were opening for Iron & Wine at The Vogue in Indianapolis. Instantly the songs from their self titled debut album (get it - thank me later) really struck a cord with me.
So when I saw they were playing last Saturday at The Independent here in San Francisco (an even smaller venue then The Vogue) - I was immediately disappointed that it was sold out and that I didn’t really have anyone to go with.
But on Saturday I woke up with a few reminders that I moved out to San Francisco for a variety of reasons and some included challenging myself. Ask ‘Three Years ago Dawn’ if she’d gone to a concert by herself and she’d call you crazy. And don’t even the mention the fact of taking public transportation to said concert. Pure. Craziness.
But here I was Saturday morning faced with a dilemma. Stay at home and think about how great the concert would be hearing one of my favorite bands live. Or I could go live my life and actually see them. Besides who really talks during a concert and how super obvious is it you are by yourself?
So I went. And It rocked. And you know what? I left feeling empowered and had a skip in my step. I just did something I never thought I could do and I did it alone.
