Why would you be important? More to the point, why does someone have to be important to be invited? I don't know many people in the city I moved to this year.

Why would you be important? More to the point, why does someone have to be important to be invited? I don't know many people in the city I moved to this year. Everyone I meet who is mildly interesting, I get their email and start inviting them to events and parties. Not many people respond and fewer reciprocate, but I'm planning to live here a while. If it takes me 10 years to make 10 good friends, all that effort will be worthwhile.
