I was recently drafted into helping my sister with a bridal shower for a friend of hers. I don't know this friend, or any of her friends. I'm also not wild about bridal showers as most of them seem to tip into stupidity after a wimpy brunch/lunch.
It was the first big social event I have been to since joining SL in which I know no one (except my sister - a fact I can't change

). It was odd comparing SL to this RL event. A few years ago, I could have followed the conversation...
