GTG Question: Why do you NOT attend them?
For all of you guys that have GTG's in your areas, and have not attended, what is the reason for it?
My local has one once a month. They keep it simple and easy to get to, usually in an area between where everyone is. When i posted more on my local I would have loved to have gone to at least one. But, HrParker went to all of them and i truly believe i would not have been able to get through the night without punching her in the face. Just being honest. Although, i think that if i did punch her, she wouldve came on here and asked everyones advice on how to react first.
What are your reasons, if any, for not going (if thats the case)?

And I'm not interested in stuff that goes on on my local. If there was a massive E get together in town, I'd for sure go.

Most of the GTGs for my local board are either 1/2 price margaritas/happy hour/insert your favorite alcoholic drink here. Either that or karaoke. I'm not a fan of either and I don't want to be the only person not enjoying themselves, or the one that brings everyone else down.

I planned to go to the Chicago one, but couldn't afford it. If it were held in the fall or later, I'd definitely go. And quotequeen, I wasn't exactly invited, but there was a general "chicago gtg" post and I asked for more information, which poli provided in a pm.
If there were one for this board or for a few other boards within driving distance, I'd love to go. I've met one person from the board and she is delightful. I hope to meet at least a couple of others later in the summer because we're in the same general area.
I wouldn't go to a month or local board gtg because I don't generally like the people (with a few notable exceptions) on there.
I've been to one for the E girls and one for the October '10 board. I haven't been to any for my local because 1) I don't post there as much and I'm not as interested and 2) when they had them, I had stuff going on. I think one was actually the weekend I was in Houston. Oh, and one was the weekend I was in Buffalo. But it was a weird GTG - the girls on the board decided to throw a bachelorette party for one of the girls and it was... not something I was comfortable with.
At both the GTGs I went to, no one knew anyone off the boards - which to me, is a lot easier than trying to get into an already established group, as well. (Like my local.)

And like AndyandHillary said, I don't really know anyone well enough.
If the timing works out, I'm all about the Orlando one in October when everyone will happen to be there, but it looks like we'll probably be there in September.
Generally, it just seems like timing plays a big part in why I can't go. I would if I could.
