Just get out there & do it, it's the only way, you'll ease up eventually.

Oh believe me, you'll never meet a more laid back and friendly group....

And the set-up is better than most group shoots...its not a "free-for-all"...

its not the people, its me. i have anxiety issues. and i don't think anyone wants to see a grown woman sitting in her car crying

*BAH ON MM*

Sitting in her car crying because she's too afraid to go into a place where a lot of people are.

They've seen a grown model freaking out and crying *me* And there was nothing but love and support. I think you'll find it a good experience and a lot of fun. Even if you just come and hang out and talk to everyone this time, just to get comfortable, without the pressure of shooting anything.

if u come i'll work with you and u can take pictures from your car window if it makes you feel better!  (sorry, humor has never been my strongest points).  i know how the anxiety goes though.  somedays i'm in a permanent state of panic attacks.  it sucks when you can't breath most of the day.  but you definately should come.  maybe then just set up your station away from everyone and have your models come to you so you don't have to be surrounded by the crowd.  a lot of photogs do that.

I will be there...And Black and Blue, I will pose in front of the car window if you'd like.  Honestly, its a great group.  Everyone looks out for eachother. 

Or you can show up before anyone else..Go up to the 4th floor pick a room and leave a message on where you'll be and the only folks you will have to deal with is the models..

Though I am sure a few photographers would love to meet you!

LOLA666 is right- I was feeling ill my first time there (well, actually both times I've been there now...I just didn't let on that I was ill this time), and everyone was very friendly and helpful, many asking if I was okay and some offering to help. If being around other people is too stressful and overwhelming, then perhaps you could just arrive right at 10 since many folks don't arrive 'til later (or perhaps you could try to arrange with Boyd to arrive a little early?) LOLA666 also had a good idea regarding reserving in advance one of the rooms that are upstairs, which are very private.  It would be wonderful to meet you!
