We spent so many years having to do cocktail/receptions/dinners/events, all along with the requisite small talk and plugs for whatever program we were raising money for, that not having to 'glad-hand' has been really a treat for us. Plus, our politics are very progressive, so we just find it easier to just do our own things. Never have had to have others' validation to feel good about ourselves.
