## how to go to a show in real life

1. find out about a show: word of mouth, posters, or online tools such as events.thirdculture.top and ottawagigs.ca
2. find the relevant details: day of the show, location of the show, time of the show
3. arrange transportation: how are you going to get there and back? bus, bike, car, uber, walking, etc.
4. pack necessary items: [EARPLUGS!!!](https://www.amazon.ca/Earplugs-Sleeping-virtually-Comfortable-Studying/dp/B09MQFGMRZ?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.A7zNd9lFRxKmbQPmKy2KyZPFXOF4Rf7EaZAZZXLdfcr8j_rHxAbkTRE7tHESGTE0qFZvBVGIo8NPE7qjqpyuiA83lQJH-4Hj1vFsmlOuHyctWoUluLalVuzt4A6fPwcvsmkjGWSszRHOXt96ONrv4UHexOGvGrcn_D4O-idu6mXRSlPKK2MxdlwEUrDNapnJIFN4XOITknp6-hynUwuT8KtgB7vYN9OnnrzI_vAvV7ShxV3tf-vy9Pxw_Qdf3rY-AvP7lMeh6FiPI6KIUDUSFPU14JL5mh6v-aTdsLYL2eA.QSCDgxY49znZfKlE5zzPCJ3mRE44kfIZaq_q-IBeImU&dib_tag=se&keywords=foam%2Bear%2Bplugs&qid=1732124978&sr=8-5&th=1) and wallet are all you really need, but also probably phone, water, clothes for the cold, etc.
5. go to the show and have fun. you dont have to know people, you dont have to talk to people, you dont have to go with anyone - ***its not a party you have to be invited to***
