I Love Going to Concerts

It's Proms season in London. Best time of year. I'm a big fan of the 'late night' proms. I can have dinner at home listening to the main evening one and then going out to the Albert Hall at 10pmish for the later concert - guaranteed to be stimulating, soothing, (or just weird).

I went to the last night once when I was too young to appreciate what it was I was being exposed to...I loved every minute, but for the atmosphere and not for the music...such a programme that night and i didnt appreciate it as I should have! Oh well, one day again maybe...
