i drove from san antonio to austin (1-1.25 hrs drive) to go see the suicide machines and catch 22 by myself several years ago. I got there real early and ended up having to walk around austin by myelf at night, so i was kinda nervous. Once the doors opened, it sucked having to wait there and sit through the opening bands by myself. I just leaned on a wall for like two hours before anything good happened. Once the main bands played, it was great. I got into the show, and had a blast. The drive home kinda sucked, cuz it was three in the morning and i was exhausted. All in all i probably would not make that trip by myself anymore. If you really want to see this band, then go, but try to arrive at sometime while the opening bands are wrapping up. If its not too much of a loss to not see the bad, then i would recommend not going until they come around again. Sorry your friend bailed on you
