Honestly, where do people get these ideas?
I'm shy at the best of times, and LW people are really smart. What if I had nothing remotely useful or interesting to say?
Yes, but you are one of the LW people.
:D
OK... if that's the worst thing that could happen I'll consider coming along...

I once attended a transhuman meetup group with the same mentality years ago. Yet, by the second visit I ended up being one of the highest contributors. I know LWers are levels above the average tranhumanist, but I now know that I’ll be intimidated by no one but the luminaries.
This is politically incorrect to acknowledge, perhaps, but since so many more men than woman go to these types of events, there's something of a bias towards being nicer to women. I'm sure your presence will be welcomed, even if you don't feel like saying much.
