What is this?

You're born, you take shit. You get out in the world, you take more shit. You climb a little higher, you take less shit. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake, son.
 

Is this awkward to show up alone to? What percentage of people would you say show up in groups and don't really branch out? I am really interested in coming to this, but I cannot for the life of me convice any of my friends to come.... anyone, anyone?

Dude, grow a pair and show up alone. I used to go to local ACG and CFA meetings alone when I was in undergrad and it was akward as fuck at first, but I met a bunch of people and even got some interviews out of it. This industry is all about who you know so do yourself a favor, don't worry about being akward and get out there and meet as many people as you can.
