I don't really, but it's not quite by choice. I used to go to a few shows a year, but the venue got new management who no longer book the sorta acts I'd go see (punk, metal, hip-hop). It's mostly open mic comedy and acoustic/indie stuff now. Boo.

Small, intimate shows are way better than big ass concerts/festivals though, imo. I could see why the latter might be off-putting for some- huge crowds, great distance, questionable sound, high prices, etc. Smaller local events where you're indoors, within a few mere feet of your favorite band, singing along with the like-minded people you're squished up against, are the way to go.
