Today, I ran a movie night for my school's student secular/skeptic group. I had all kinds of worries: What if the classroom doesn't have DVD player? What if the classroom is locked? What if I can't get the sound to work? What if no one shows up? I can go on and on with more worries--those are related to the food I had to bring (pizza and soda).
Result: The classroom was open. I had to call my group's advisor to get the sound to work. The food thing worked out fine. Not a whole lot of people showed up. The DVD's were kind of boring (we watched the first 3 episodes of Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" series). But all in all, it was a success in the sense that it all worked out in the end.
I don't know what events to create, or when to schedule them, that will get a large turnout. And that is frustrating. But at least I'm doing events for the group, and maybe in time, with effort put into it, attendance will improve on its own.
