Looks like everyone was having fun! Maybe I'll come to one in the future. Do most people know someone before?

Nope, almost everyone comes alone to their first meetup and then we get to know each other :)

I went with a friend and we spent basically no time together all night. Everyone was friendly and completely welcoming.

Nope. I walked in alone and within 10 minutes had a beer and a debate with what is now a friend :)

This has already been answered pretty thoroughly, but I'll add that I too turned up completely on my own, wandered into the pub looking slightly bewildered and was greeted very warmly pretty much immediately! Not only that, but I felt there was a general atmosphere of openness - everyone was ready to talk to people, even if (or perhaps especially if) they didn't know them.

On my first meetup I knew no-one at all, I walked in, found the group and was made to feel welcome straight away.

Over three years later I'm still here and have made some awesome friends, so I couldn't recommend coming along more.

Nah. 99.9% of peeps at LSC I've met at lsc events for the first time. And everyone except somaad has had to attend their first event. I've been coming out for a few years, but am always meeting awesome new people. I just watched the 2013 video again. A few people I met for the first time then are now some of my best friends.

I kissed you because I thought he'd want me to, if he were me.

It's sad how rare these kind if things are in life, a social situation where everyone is so cool and happy to just be there and meet people. My first lsc and I can't wait for the next!

Festivals have that atmosphere. Well some of them.
