Going out on your own...ever done it?

When I go to T in the Park there's always a band or two I want to see that none of my friends do. I'll think nothing of disappearing for a few hours to go and see who I want to see and meeting up later.

T is different though, i spent most of T this year by myself, just beacuse i was so wrecked i had no idea where anybody was. Everybody else is in the same state though, so its easy to find people to kick about with.
 
lol I've done it a few times, had good and bad nights but tbh with things like this (niche market nights) you'll get to know some of the people who go after a couple.
 
Going to gigs on your own is pretty normal I think, and going to pubs as well. I go to pubs on my own quite often.

Going to a club on your own is another matter. I don't really know what I'd do. It's not like you can read or listen to your own music, you'd have to dance and hang out at the bar on your own. It would actually be quite sad. There's a difference between doing some writing in a quite coffee shop or bar on your own with a beer, and dressing up, going to a club and then dancing with no-one you know. The more I think about it, the more amusing it becomes.

Often go out on my own when away on business (it beats another night in your hotel room...). Find people are pretty friendly usually if you're sat at the bar and willing to talk.

I second this, when away on business it's vital to stop boredom to go out and meet people. Pubs, bars and small clubs it's not hard to get chatting to someone.
 
I was considering doing this when I go to Berlin in December, there were a few clubs that caught my eye in the lonely planet guide and I thought would be cool to check out. I agree that it might be a little awkward though.
 
gigs are fine, clubs are a bit more tricky, but get a couple of drinks down you and start chatting to people
 
I went to Fabric one night by myself, was good. Off my ****, got chatting to some randoms, asked if they knew anywhere that was open late, then they told me of this pretty interesting club, http://www.clubaquarium.co.uk/ - I didn't know about the pool, I walked in and smelt chlorine and was like "wtf?" I didn't go in, but it was rather funny. Nice bit of minimal to end the night, then a trek back to Vauxhall to kip in the office, only to find the warehouse guys outside, me big eye'd and tired, not what I needed, then a guy I work with turned up in the office to do some work on a Saturday, which was difficult to explain, but he was cool about it. Rather eventful night all in all. ;)

Didn't make any new found friends, but had a interesting and fun night. I'd recommend it.
 
Done it a couple of times for clubnights I've wanted to go to.

It's actually quite fun getting mashed and dancing away not having to worry about anyone else.

Long as you don't make it a regular thing.
 
Go for it, you'll never know otherwise. I would say the whole alternative scene is extremely friendly and you can always annoy the bar staff if you want to talk to someone that can't get away from you :)
 
I have never done it but probably would if I really wanted to go the event.

On my last drunken night out I met a really nice chap, had a good laugh with him and the rest of my mates. he followed us from one bar to the next and he came back to our houseparty afterwards and was mint.

When drunk it is very easy to get along with anyone. :D

And I don't mean going out on your own and meeting people somewhere, I mean going out at night and not knowing anyone.
Im wondering this because there is a club night and gig I really want to go to, the club night is EBM, electro-industrial, industrial, goth, etc and the gig is Nachtmahr ( similar kind of music as club night). But the only problem is that I don't know anyone that can make it/anyone that likes that sort of music aha :D

I always go out with a few friends so was just curious of how people view it/if they do it.

I think im just going to go out and hope to meet some ramdomers/drunkards :D

omg :D I am going to see Nachtmahr, they are coming to Edinburgh on my birthday 28th of November, cannot wait :D
 
I have done it at a hard house night a long while back as everyone was away for the summer and I was bored. Where there's chemicals there are people to talk to :)
