I never used to like the idea of it, I always get the feeling people are looking and thinking "HA look at that guy by himself" although this probably isn't the case at all. I missed out on the opportunity to see far too many bands because of friends bailing, so one day I just decided I'd go alone to any that no one would come with me for.
It's not all that bad, first one I done alone was J Mascis & The Fog and the crowd were awesome, got talking to some thirtysomething guys who were really neat. So yeah, it isn't all that bad and sometimes you meet really nice people. Plus, I think I'd rather go alone than drag someone along who wasn't into the music, so I didn't constantly have to worry if they're bored or if they enjoy it.
