Going it alone at a show

[Got Haggis?]

I go to shows alone sometimes....i'm pretty much the only one in my local 'friends circle' that digs industrial music, so i usually go it alone to ministry, skinny puppy, etc.  i'm sure i'll be going it alone to the sp show at sonar in june, heh.
 but i've been to so many shows solo, that it doesn't phase me at all.
 
 i go to movies alone too.

Given how many people have admitted they go to shows alone, maybe there's been one where the entire crowd consisted of people not there with anyone. What would be the most likely show?

sweetcell, you go to Blowoff and find a daddy bear there, I'd go with your sweetie to the Pipettes. You selfish bitch.

i am actually planning on attending the arctic monkeys show tomorrow because none of my friends are that into them. however, i am a bit apprehensive because, though i have traveled to 9:30 club by car numerous times, i have never done it alone, and i know the surrounding area probably isn't the best place for a 142 pound caucasian male to drive through by himself. any kind of words to settle my anxiety will be greatly appreciated!

First, I love your name.
 
 Second, you'll be fine. Just get their while it's still light. I usually park on 8th street where there's metered parking (but it's free after 6:30), and since alot of people park there, you don't walk back to your car "alone". Or park in the club's lot for $10.

what julian said - if you're really worried, pay $10 for the attended parking.
 
 otherwise, if you get there early (say, a half hour before the opener) you should be able to find street parking within a block or two of the club under a street light.  if you walk out with the crowds at the end of the show, there should be enough people also going to their cars that you'll have coverage.
 
 personally, i've never felt nervous walking out of the club (i live a 15-20 minute walk away, and almost always walk).  my biggest fear - nay, annoyance - are the occasional beggers that ask for money (again, zero actual agression just persistant requests).  i think the 'hood gets an unfair rap.  yes, there was that girl-gang attack a few weeks/months back... that's one incident out of how many shows?  every time i've driven, my car has never been vandalized, just don't leave valuables in plain site.  you'll be fine.
