Since I have no fear of the humans whatsoever - I am absurdly social - I reiterate my offer to deal in the stead of anyone truly unwilling.
But I doubt there'll be any fear. As JZ pointed out, everyone knows each other online, or offline, ot both.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

I'm either very social, or a total wallflower. I was very happy at the W&H Soulless Social to have been playing the music, it gave me a reason to be there and I didn't have try to be all outgoing.
And you have no idea how difficult it was, finding a film critic gigolo.
My hat's off to you for all the practice it must have taken to get the cute couple act down pat, then. You were perfect together!
If we ever have a f2f in Vegas, I will show all the jokers above how renting a date for a social event should be done.
It looked to me like Matt's on the list twice.
Are any more of the LAistas coming? Burrell, DH, Frannie? Lori, Kat, Allyson, ita?
Is that because it's both Garrat and I attending, therefore 2 tickets? (Only one room for hotel counting purposes, though.)
Yup, I'm just counting bodies at this point. Sixty-two!

I'm sending baby Frankie as my avatar. Don't tell her daddy.
The Humans is one thing. People we already know and love? Another thing altogether. I for one want as many of those all together in one place as possible.
You guys -- you know I freak out like this every year before the F2F. Being around a group of people I know is just as scary, for totally different reasons:
(1) They'll realize I really AM a twerp;
(2) They'll like other people better than me;
(3) They won't pay any attention to me;
(4) They'll pay TOO much attention to me.
I realize that I'm crazy.
