This is exactly why we have the Introduction Topic and groups on Facebook etc

There are plenty of people that felt they didn't know many other attendees at the last event, but made friends there.

Hopefully this time everyone can get to know a few people before they get there, and it'll be a little easier at the event itself.

So you're definitely not sad, and you're definitely not alone

^^thanks dude

Apart from driving down with Sazzy, I'm not sure what I'm doing.  I'm staying in the hotel on my own so hopefully I will be able to meet up with people on the day.  If you really do get to the bottom of the barrel (which I doubt - everyone is friendly anyway) we could arrange something.  =)

i didnt know anyone from eclipse one until i arrived there, everyone just talks to everyone else

Yeah you normally make friends so easily. You just chat to someone in a line and all weekend your saying hi to them and chatting.
And just chatting on here helps you get to know people : )

yeah you make friend and then you cant get rid of them....they start showing up all over the place .....

haha i went on my own to the first one shared with river and was meeting up with some of the sarmy girls who i met through the web, it was all good.

Indeed, when you're on your own, there are no consequences and embarrassing stories taken back to be shared among people you know!

So it's all cool. I came to Eclipse 1 with my cousin, and will be going with him to number 2. :)

We made friends quite easily enough, many of the attendees are really friendly and will just come up and talk to you if you look lonely! And as has been said before, when you're standing in a queue, you end up talking to those around you.

You know it sounds like you're pimping him out to attendees .. lol

your just jelouse as im not doing it for you, i can offer you a advertising spot in a post about three from now if you would like?

[Lenatalia]

I'm not scared of going on my own, per se, I'm just crap at being confident enough to go over and talk to people.  Mostly because I would probably end up mistaking someone for someone else.

Haha jealous? Nah .. just fearing for Mr Rivaan's safety, I know there's some right crazy people around here

And no, thank you for the kind offer but I'll stick with the lovely ladies I already know.

I went on my own and I met people.....and I'm quite a shy person normally - so if I can go up to people and say hi... then anyone can!  

[DavidB]

We could just use Kenny as a meeting point .. crazy insane cross-dressing dude obsessed with Sylar and eggs, likely on the floor somewhere .. there can't be that many of them attending
