I've been in Austin alone dozens of times for business, and never have trouble finding great places to hang out. There are a lot of places you can go for a drink alone, and nobody will care. In fact, you might meet some really good people.

Take a chance and go out and see some of the sights. There are a LOT of beautiful ladies in Austin. Even old codgers like me can at least enjoy the scenery.

Take care and enjoy yourself. :thumbsup:
Onward!
