What Do You Like To Do For An Evening Out?

[KwanYingirl]

I've had a busy week! Three concerts, two of them at a wonderful venue in rural Maine that is down a dirt road and is a post and beam barn. It attracts many artists that I like-mostly folk, country-folk, bluegrass. They serve great food and even though it is expensive and an hour and a half ride, I love going there. Twice in one week-I'm pooped out.

I don't like crowds, but I do enjoy music concerts and movies. Occasional dinner out. But I don't invite friends over for dinner or just to hang out. My house has become my safe place and I don't like to upset the mood.

What do you like to do for an evening out?

My husband likes to go see movies, but I'm not a huge fan of the theater. What I like to do best is go eat and wander around downtown. It's always busy there on the weekend, but not chaotic or too busy to be peaceful. I never have people over. I don't want people in my house. It's mine!!

I am glad you can go to those things, KwanYingirl. That is the kind of music we like, too. We have live music in our town's park in the summer, but I can only handle about half an hour . . . by then I get way overwhelmed and have to leave. I don't go to movies for the same reason. What I do like to do is go out for dinner and have a drink or two. It's a real treat for me to not have to cook dinner :-).

I love to go to live performances. I haven't been to one this winter but we have great university venue an hour away. There's all kinds of performances every year.
I like to go to modern dance, acrobatics, cultural dance shows. Taiko drummers, Cirque de Soleil type stuff, Chinese acrobats. There's something about a live performance that can't be beat. I even got the kids to go with me to (opera!) Mozart's Magic Flute in a full period production. Homeschool credit for them, fun for me :)
My husband works in the evenings so a nice evening for me is when we are home together and watching Netflix and talking about stuff.

@seedling We go through shows on Netflix on most of my husband's evenings off. He works nights, too. We do go out twice a month, though.

I generally prefer an evening in. However, board games and roleplaying games (eg D&D) make for a good evening out. So does a movie.

I go to the movies, get a coffee and read at barnes and noble, walk around the downtown area of my town and stop in for a drink or coffee at little places, go to a beautiful beach with cliffs that have hiking trails to get out in nature, go watch boats at the bay, or read/watch tv at home.

My vet and I had a fun day not long ago... we went to an international grocery and bought a bunch of unfamiliar food, then went home and tried to cook it. It was a good time.

Eating out followed by a good show- a musical, a ballet, an orchestral concert, a gig. I've an eclectic taste. For something slightly less extravagant a movie and a meal is good.

Gawd. I've been seriously racking my brain over here. This is something people do, right? Have an evening out?

***

I haven't done most of these in a wicked long time.

Concerts. Bonfires at the beach. Sleeping bags in the back of the truck bed and watching the stars listening to music or silence. Skinny dipping. Sledding. Night-Skiing (boarding). Urban spelunking. Pub with friends.

I can't remember the last time my wife and I had an evening out.

Today is our second wedding anniversary. I have been going through so many different emotions all day that I am exhausted.

She just went to pick up our dinner.

Today was mentally intense for us.

I am hoping today will be the beginning back to each other and spend a night out.

Our town actually still has a drive-in movie theater that operates in the summer. We enjoy that too, and he can manage that even when he isn't feeling particularly well.
