I went with some friends to see a local band at my campus's student bar, and I've developed a crush on the guitarist. He's also a student at my uni and we held eye contact during the gig. I didn't go up to talk to him or anything because I'm super shy. Fast forward a few months and they are playing the same venue. My friend and I went to the bar for dinner that night in order to get a table before it got crowded (it was packed the time before). When he walked into the bar he seemed jolted when he saw me...maybe not expecting that I'd be there already. As he and his band set up their equipment he seemed to be eavesdropping on me and my friend's conversation (I was telling her about the pieces of art I made for an art show). As the night went on I mostly stuck with my friends, and everyone, audience and band, were having an awesome time. After the first set they mentioned they were selling t-shirts, so I approached my crush in order to buy a shirt. I complimented his playing and told him how great their music makes me feel, then I said how much I liked the design on the t-shirt. He was smiling a lot and was so enthusiastic about telling me how the artist who designed them is one of his best friends. He told me that the artist was going to be showing his work later in the month at the campus bar we were at. I was smitten and basically kept smiling, saying 'Awesome!', then went back to my friends. So the show is this Monday...I really want to go, not only because my crush will be there, but I really like his friend's art as well. I'm scared to go alone, since I usually only go out with friends (and none of them are interested in going to an art show, much less on a Monday). Basically: would he think it's creepy if I showed up to this art show alone without knowing anyone there already? or would he view this as an opportunity to catch me alone?

I'm probably reading way too much into this, and I'm sorry this is long, but it's been bugging me...

OMG. GO GO GO. First of all, it’s not creepy at all to go see an art show you are interested in. Second of all, YES, it’s an awesome opportunity to have some more one-on-one chat time with your crush (he doesn’t have to feel intimidated approaching you with a group of your friends). 

DO IT!
