It was strangely hard to find real-life people that could go. Even my best-laid plans with one of my friends here fell through (but mostly because he wanted to make a weekend of it, and I couldn't get enough time off work to pull that off without giving up Christmas. In the end we were probably no more than 10 yards apart in the crowd and we still didn't manage to run into each other at all there).
I still have no idea how people are supposed to handle those situations. I mean, I'm downright terrible at it, but if I could even conceive of a reasonable way to deal with it, I'd try it. I just stumble into the situation and draw a complete blank, so I have to sit there trying not to laugh at how awkward it is.
