Thinking that maybe Lubbock needs to have social...something low-key, maybe hosted in someone's house...? Be fun to get aquainted and re-aquainted with everyone, don't you think? A Christmas social might be kinda cool...I have a very small one bedroom apt, so I can't really host a big shindig here, but I'd be glad to help out if someone wants to host? Maybe a BYOB kinda thing...just a thought...!
You guys are braver than I am. I have been to several socials in San Antonio, but I do not live there. And there are a bunch of people who live in SA. Not very good odds on me running into someone I know.
Lubbock, to me, is to small to guarantee anonimity. Just would be too afraid to run into a co-worker or such.
