If it's a seminar-type event with a classroom or lecture setting, I'm happy as a clam. I never go to holiday parties because I can not stand around drinking (I don't drink) and schmoozing (I can't schmooze well), and dread departmental lunches when I have to attend them. One-on-one or small groups are my preference.
