I am wondering if people actually come at 7:30? I might cheat and go to the bar first and then show up around 8 or maybe 9, already buzzed. At that point I will have no problem talking to people. Heh.

I actually think the whole thing might be backwards. Like maybe it would be better to spend most of the time in the bar, then go across the street to get a coffee before you have to drive home.
