What Gets You Out Of The House To See Live Music?

Let's face it, we all have busy lives. Everyone has to find a way to make room in their schedules for work, school, girlfriends & boyfriends, cats & dogs, the family, needlepoint lessons at the community centre, eating Doritos on the couch, and masturbating to porn.
It doesn't seem like there's much time for anything else does it?
And that folks, is why many of us don't get out to see live music as much as we really want to. Despite being invited to a hundred shows a week on Facebook, you just can't simply go to everything. Excuses are made, hearts are broken, friends are lost...and you get the eight hours sleep you deserve.
But, on the flip side of this is when you actually do get out. Those rare occasions when you actually drag your sorry ass out of your condo or basement suite and you go and see some live music, whether it be an international touring band or a local favourite that just crawled out of a basement in the burbs.
And do you know what almost always happens when you make that choice to get out? You love it. You have the time of your life, hear some great tunes, support your local scene, you meet new friends...and you throw up on old ones.
So, in those glorious moments leading up to you rocking out at a local concert, what's the main deciding factor that gets you out of the house to see live music?
1. You love the band.
2. Your love the venue.
3. Your friends are going.
4. You're hoping there will be some hotties there.
5. It's close to your home.
