Well, I only see bands I want to see. In other words, I don't just go to the Black Cat and see whatever's playing. But I will say, the appeal does not wear thin for me.
Of course, it's not constant. There will be a couple, maybe three weeks, when there are lots of shows I want to see, and I make many (but not all; I can't keep up that pace if we're talking four or more shows in a week). But then there will be two to three weeks with nothing. It'll be two weeks since the Buzzcocks by the time I see WSC this Friday.
And, I live a 12-minute bus ride or $6.90 cab ride away. So it's easy, if it's mid-week; I can literally do the whole thing in a couple of hours. And I do love it.
I don't know why it should be different because I'm in my mid-30s.
