An annoying situation

[Klose_the_Sith]

The chances of something unexpectedly good happening are much better if you go out and make an effort to talk to people than if you stay home!

Eh, I dunno if that really applies. I'm pretty sure I know this kind of party and the forced everything sounds fairly painful. Maybe that's just because I've always been pretty anti-social, but that doesn't make an awkward situation any less awkward.

I'd probably recommend going as well, but I'd definitely second the gameboy/book/what have you. Always have a plan b when getting dragged into any large scale gathering where you don't know/are unsure about the people. Always.
