i have been to one munch, and after the initial thirty to forty minutes of awkwardness, i had a wonderful time. In my part of the Bible Belt, lol, there aren't a great deal of organised events, or if there are, i have yet to happen upon them. i remain ever hopeful however! At the munch that i attended, i was reminded a great deal of a very nice and comfortable (kinda like ours) chat room, lol. i met some wonderful people and as in most any situations, i met some people that i said a polite "hello" to and left it at that. i will say that the munch host was very kind to me and checked on me often to make sure that i was not feeling uncomfortable or 'pressured' by anyone in any way.

There was an after party that i was invited to attend, but when i politely declined, no one became rude or unfriendly. i met some wonderful people that night and truly cannot wait to attend another function. If there is anyone out there that knows of any events in the South Carolina area, please let me know.
