In response to BC2DC's latest entry, I have to admit -- in keeping with my social "late blooming" -- I'm getting more and more down with clubbing. Not for the drinking, the dancing, or hitting on girls, of course, but really, more to hang out with friends (of both genders).
However, one thing though that I have always been into is classical music. I'm a big fan of live performances, and wish I could do it more often... however, work is a big downer -- and more so, concerts are rather pricey and formal affairs. If I'm spending that kind of money, I want to maximize my investment by going with at least a friend (not a date necessarily, just some friends). It would be like eating at an expensive restaurant by yourself. Just like clubbing, much of the enjoyment comes from being with others.
So, I'm happy to find out there's a chance for me to kill two birds with one stone. The renowned Ahn Trio is making a single Bay Area performance in 2004, and in something rather unprecendented in the classical music world, it's followed by a retro 70s dance party. My Korean friends who've seen them play rave about them, and so I feel a big desire just to catch them before it's too late. The dancing is secondary, of course, but definitely a bonus. And hey, I'll be honest... the Ahns aren't too shabby looking either. =)
Now, I just need to get a group going. If anyone is seriously interested, drop me a line or comment. ;)

the cellist sort of moves like a snake when she plays. it's a little eerie.
i saw them on a postcard at a restaurant. no instruments -- just them, in skimpy dresses. i was with two professional violinists at the time, who immediately started spouting about how it sucked that you had to remove the music from classical musicians to sell them to the general public.
