out soon

I have not been out en femme for about a month and I am itching to get out. If all goes well, I will go to a cocktail hour after work on Thursday.

The cocktail hour* is a monthly event at a local art center. Being an art center, the place attracts a very liberal and diverse crowd.

A couple of my T-friends broke ground and attended the cocktail hour a few years ago. They had a great time, were accepted without reservation, and recommended the place to the rest of us.

Since then, I've gone there a half dozen times and usually find ten to twelve of my T-friends there amongst the crowd. I try to mix in with the crowd, but have had limited success and usually end up socializing with my T-friends (not that there is anything wrong with that) instead of making new non-T-friends

I don't know if I scare people off or what. I am not exactly ugly. In fact, I think I am very presentable. On the other hand, I am shy. Maybe if I try to be more outgoing I will be able to make some new friends.

I'll let you know what happens.

* It is an "hour" in name only and usually lasts from 6 to 10 PM, more or less.
