The last concert I attended was also the first concert I attended. It was Fleetwood Mac at the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh, on November 19th, 1990.

(Here's my ticket....)


I've attended "Concerts In The Park" by local bands here in my town, and last year I attended a small performance by the Pittsburgh Symphony at a church also here in my town (it was a performance to announce the PSO's involvement with the Performing Arts Center being built here), but the Mac show was the biggest concert I've ever attended.

I've had anxiety problems since I was around 12 or 13, and really didn't like to go many places, but it didn't become extremely serious until I was around 18, when the agoraphobic tendencies really kicked in. I've had ups and downs since then.

Joshua's very understanding about it, and of course I'm hoping that, in time and with his support, it will be a thing of the past. At least to any major degree.
