I dunno, give it a shot. I generally don't have much interest in just randomly starting up conversation, but when I talk to a stranger about something it rarely goes poorly.

- eonw 10y agothis is true, in business, at conferences and such i am typically kind of shy. One day my fiance pointed out that everywhere i go i end up meeting and talking to people(gas stations, bars, national parks). Then i started applying the same approach to business, and its netted a number of new and interesting contacts. you don't know if you don't try.
