Nowadays, people are spending more time at home than ever. Some people cope with that better than others, but what all people need to realize is that just because you are at home, it doesn’t mean that you cannot enjoy all the events that you used to look forward to, as long as you’re willing to make a digital compromise. You don’t have to find yourself living groundhog day evenings – this list of virtual events should show you that you have several ways to have fun at home.
Virtual Gig
You don’t have to go out to a concert just to enjoy live music – you can stream a live gig at home. To make the most of this experience, it’s important that you take the time to set it up properly:
- Plan how you are going to stream the video footage to your TV
- If you have any speakers, make sure you connect them with the TV and turn it up to 11 to have a more authentic sound
- Turn the lights down low
- Get dancing if you have the space.
There are lots of different types of virtual gigs happening, some are free, and some are paid.
Some gigs can be streamed directly from musicians’ social media accounts; others are being more inventive, e.g., gaming gigs (which have attracted millions and millions of viewers)
All the options at your disposal mean it isn’t difficult to see your favorite performer from the comfort of your own home.
Watch the Game
If you are a sports fan, then game day is likely to be a big date in your upcoming calendar. If you usually go and see your favorite team play in the flesh, then watching at home is likely to be a little less exciting. One way that you can increase excitement and get that feeling of anticipation back is to make a live bet – but you should remember to always bet safely. The additional pressure of having money at stake can help you get that adrenaline pumping again.
At Home Dance Class
An at-home dance class is by far the most fun at-home exercise class. There are many different types of home dance classes to partake in, which means you can choose from a range of different time scales and difficulty levels and also a wide variety of different musical genres. It’s a great way to improve your moves and your fitness level so you can be ready to dance the night away at your next music event.
Virtual Cocktail Class
This virtual event is great fun and is sure to come in handy before your next at-home gig. An online cocktail-making class is a great way to learn more about the skills and techniques of cocktail making by the masters of the glass. It is also a fun way to spend the evening, as you not only learn the tricks of mixology but get to enjoy the fruits of your labors!
Comedy Show
If you’re a comedy fan that’s spent lots of time at home, you’ve probably watched all of the stand-up that Netflix has to offer. Many comedians are streaming comedy gigs to be watched at home. While you won’t quite get the atmosphere of being in a room with other comedy lovers and a nervous comedian fending off the hecklers, it’s still a great way to pass the evening, and you can arrange to watch a stream with friends too.
