This shit happens to me all the time. I frequently go to things where I do not know anyone, and just try to play cool. What helps is that I try to think what Van Wilder, (Ryan Reynolds) would do. It seems like in all his movies he just kind of goes with the flow and adds in laughterous comments every now and again. It helps to have that kind of gameplan.
