You can have a friend go to court for you with a letter saying that you could not appear because your are out of town. If you have any proof send that with your friend as well. In any event it is unlikely that there would be a hearing or trial on that date.
Your friend should at the calendar call request AN APPLICATION which would get you a new date.
