to beer or not to beer

Quick, dlanders (and friends of), time to weigh in, BUT WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME!:

The Facts:
Tonight The New Guy at work is having a party at his apartment in Cambridge.

The Question:
Do I go?

The Pros:

He's cool, he probably has cool friends, and I need to meet more people in Boston.
I have None social life, so it would be cool to actually go out and do something.
It has been WAY too long since my last beer, and I could really use a drink, especially in the midst of midterms.
I kind of want to go.

The Cons:

It's snowing and I'd have to drive AT LEAST 45 minutes. In the snow. There and back.
I won't know anyone there except The New Guy. (Don't bullshit me, you know this is uncomfortable and weird).
There's a possibility I will know someone there, and it will be my boss. (Notice that this is under The Cons.)
Hey... The Cons would be a cool band name for, like, an Irish punk band with members from Southie and Dublin. (Pay no attention to the fact that this is under The Cons.)
I hate showing up to parties alone, unless it's a party filled with my friends. I can't help but feel like a loser.
I don't want said New Guy to feel like he has to entertain me all night, and I don't want to be stuck in the corner with no one to talk to but my boss and his girlfriend.

Another Pro:

I have, at times, been known to be somewhat gregarious and outgoing, (I know, SHOCKER) with an ability to meet people and make friends easily.

Another Con:

But sometimes I get intimidated and become all shy and wallflowery. There's simply no way to know.

Wow, this is really nothing more than a VERY thinly veiled attempt at trying to gain outside encouragement to exploit my comfort level, huh?

... Well, next time I'll have to construct a thicker veil.

Now, go forth and comment.

Addendum: Nevermind. It's snowy and gross so I'm gonna be a dork and stay home. Fortunately, I can self-entertain, so get excited for my soon-to-be-born selection of apparel and novelties courtesy of cafepress! Yay!
