Yes, I have a problem with larrge crowds in enclosed spaces making me claustrophobic.

Hi! May I join the Mildly Agoraphobic Club too? I will never shop on a weekend and I haven't been to a concert since Metallica was good (...And Justice for All).

All the concerts I go to are for Christian bands. Most of the time, they're held in churches, and the church will almost always have a balcony. Not many people sit up there, because it's far from the music, but for me, perfect!

That qualifies you! Membership dues may be mailed to me :) I try to avoid shopping unless it's a bookstore. I don't like the crowds at concerts, but if it's a band I really like I'll go anyway and the music will eventually distract me enough to overcome that. Very rarely go, though--practically the only time I've ever gone to concerts was for a festival called Summerfest in my area. Saw Sting, Chicago, the Ramones, Talking Heads, Blondie, and Ringo Starr at various times there. The one time I don't mind crowds is at a football game when I'm rooting for my Packers, I guess then 'cause I'm in an aggressive mood and I'm part of the crowd rather than apart from it.

(...And Justice for All).

I was thinking more like Ride the Lightning :) That song "One" from that album was good, though--interesting premise.
