#who's ok with expensive restaurants? who actually likes drinking vs who needs a non-alcoholic option?

One of my goals for this year was to organize more social events. Unfortunately this means messaging large numbers of people at once a.k.a. throwing myself to the brain wolves. I generally do not consider myself an anxious person, but even I can make an exception for "Is it presumptuous of me to invite a bunch of people to a random thing if they haven't expressed interest, what do I do if I end up with a subset of people who don't get along, what if I'm being weird, what if nobody wants to go, what if too many people want to go, what if people are offended by not being invited, waugh."

Luckily, I am faster than the brain wolves. Type it up and hit send, stick your hand in the fire and then get out. Declaring some completely unjustified confidence in my social circle's ability to mention when they're unhappy about something. Randomizing subsets of people to invite to things. Backing it all up with the confidence that I can fix or replace anything that goes wrong given enough time and information and also, this adrenaline rush.
