I'm just going to comment in this aspect: Now I feel too old to go to festivals, bars and clubs and make new friends that way. Don't know where you live, but in NYC and certain other cities the the bars and clubs (depending which ones you go to) are packed with geezers. Really, it seems like like you've bought into some image of "youth" which holds that only under-30 types get to do "fun" things. But which just isn't ... grounded in reality. If you genuinely enjoy music and the vibe at these places (again, depends which ones you go to) -- then there is absolutely no age limit, expressed or implied. And anything who thinks there is, is well... square beyond square.
