Yeah -- I'd make the trip for that show.
I'm on the westside of Michigan. Some decent tours come through Grand Rapids and the city is growing at a pretty quick rate so it gets a good deal of tours, just not everything. Over the next few months I'll get to see Torche/Nothing/Wrong, Weedeater, Andrew WK (confirmed I'll be hitting those). May also hit up Jucifer. May go to Sepultura because why not. In the past year-sh I've seen Weedeater, Full of Hell, Swans, Saint Vitus, Pallbearer, Pilgrim, Spirit Caravan amongst others that I'm surely forgetting.
That being said most tours end up coming to Chicago or Detroit. Chicago is a three hour drive (but I have very close friends there that I can crash with) and Detroit is about 2.5 hrs. I do both at least a handful of times per year. I have no qualms about going solo if I have to but I'd always rather have company as I'm sure most of us do when required to do some traveling.
Anyway -- I'd make the two hour trip solo for OMG and Coliseum.
