    Hey all,

    I'm gonna take a chance and link to something I wrote a month back. In July, I attended a dinner in L.A. hosted by the DS9 documentary folks. I went alone, which was insane because I suffer from social anxiety. Selfishly, I think the experience is worth sharing. :-) I'd love to hear feedback from anyone interested in reading.

    Sounds like a good thing you were able to get past your anxiety for this.
    Good luck in the future.

    Thank you for posting about the evening! It may help other socially anxious people work through it for enjoyable evenings. I enjoyed hearing what happened during the evening which alas I couldn't attend.

    I thought about it, but couldn't really justify the trip, leaving the teen child at home with some friend for the weekend etc. I'm glad it went well for you!
