If you do not appear a default judgment will probably be entered agains you. You could attempt to ask for a continuance until such time you can appear. However, even for an appearance you will still have to appear or have your attorney appear. For $150.00 you would probably far exceed that amount in attorney costs.
Even after a default judgment is entered the plaintiff would still have to get an order on that judgment to require you to pay.
