Thanks for all of your advice. I decided to go with the green mermaid dress--my friend lent me a hoodie that looked great and dressed it down so it didn't look quite as intense.
I got to the place he was playing about 10 minutes late and they hadn't started. He seemed excited to see me and gave me a hug and then I said, "I'll let you get ready" and went and sat down by myself at a table in the corner.
His band was great!! Banjo, mandolin, guitar, and B on the violin/fiddle. They normally have a bass player but he forgot about the gig (weird?) It was a little weird watching him, I didn't want to gaze adoringly at him the whole time he played so I think I ended up gazing adoringly at his bandmates instead.
I wasn't sure if I'd feel comfortable without my little hoodie on over the extremely sexy halter top but it was about 90 degrees in the place so it had to come off. I ordered some tea and surveyed the crowd... NO Asian girl from his gig last year. In fact, I was the only friend/fan who had come to see B--the other band members had a friend or two each.
When someone sat down between me and B so I couldn't see him anymore, he moved to the other side of the stage so I could still see him. I don't know if he did this so he could see me, or if he did it for a completely different reason.
They only played for about an hour, so I decided after they finished just to sit tight and see what would happen. After being at the bar for a little while B came over to talk to me and sat down at my table. I asked him a ton of questions about his band--the band name, instrumentation, the songs, the mike setup, how he met the other band members, etc etc. I also complimented him on specific solos he'd played and the songs I liked the most. This felt very animated and freeflowing, except I was a little nervous that he'd think I was trying to keep him with me by asking so many questions.
