That's what I do, go solo. Works out alright. Only schedule I have to follow is my own and there is plenty to do there, so you definitely don't have to worry about getting bored.
Looking forward to doing it again... if and when tickets ever go on sale again.
I hear ya on that....luckily my gf is pretty cool and would pretty much let me do my own thing if I wanted maybe now that I live in St. Louis Ill have a better chance of meeting people with similiar tastes. Before that I lived in a town of 500
