I'm going to meet some new people. I thought it sounded fun. There are enough people who are too shy to get to know people without some sort of construct to support it. Besides, if everyone there is a shy, awkward mess, what's to encourage them to get out and meet new people on their own? There have to be some people there who aren't afraid, to support the others.
