I............ I find myself, as apparently others do, of being not sure about the proper etiquette. Does one just walk up to obvious group, say hi, announce your handle, plunk yourself down and start drinking? Bow three times from the waist and kiss Winston's ring? Lurk by the bar and drool? Any/all of the foregoing?
My first ever party was a private by invite party put on by an agency, I was anxious to attend but apprehensive at the same time. I had similar thoughts, gee, I dont know anyone other than a few of the SPs that I had seen, I wondered what everyone would be like and so on, on my way to the party I was half thinking of backing out, but I decided to go anyway.(and glad I did)
When I got there I was very nervous, I had no idea what to expect, but once I got into the party I noticed that everyone was just like me, normal(cough cough) people, I quickly lost any anxiety and strated to have a good time.
Its alittle difficult to know who's who when you don't know a soul, but if you just go & relax for a bit, you can then go to tables and ask, is this group with the party? no one will bite off your head,,, I also understnd there will be name tags available for thos that want to wear them,look for them, or look for a table with tags and get on over there, thats a good place to start.
Lose your anxiety & hope you can make it!
