One of my closest friends is in a band, and plays gigs about once or twice every three months. The other day he said he was mad at me because I haven't been going to support him at his shows lately, and he was really hurt.

I mean, I usually don't go because I'm not into drinking, and I don't really enjoy myself in loud atmospheres. I could pick up chicks there, but theres usually no dancing, and its hard to hear anything. I'm sure if I put my mind to it, I could, but that's besides the point. I just don't really like concerts. And on top of that, I have to pay for being at a place I don't really like the atmosphere of. I honestly would rather stay home and read a book.

Am I being a dick, or should I start going? What can I tell him?
