We're a little frustrated. We are new to this and looking for newbie friendly experiences and interactions. We were supposed to attend our first LS party last month, which was cancelled for unknown reasons, and we haven't heard from the host since. We were invited to another party, for this week, which was also just cancelled. We're just kind of wondering if parties getting cancelled and hosts going MIA is a normal thing? Or if this is just kind of a rare/coincidental thing? What's your thought/experience?
