So people kept saying, "I wish there was a TOG munch." Fine, says I. I said, "We should have a TOG munch." and there were crickets. So I said, "I'll start this up but I can't possibly go to all of them every single time so I'll set up the 1st one and someone with experience can take over." And now I'm being congratulated for doing the long-awaited

Complain and I'll shut you down by giving you a task.
"Oh, that location sucks because it's too far away!"
Feel free to host the next one. Why not host a picnic near you?
"I don't know anyone and don't want to walk into a room full of strangers."
Great. Come stand by me and do the name tags. Once you know everyone's name, they aren't strangers.
Nah, I'm not playing baby games.
And I've got a creepy predator that's coming and I'm torn between telling him he's not invited or just watching him carefully because he never officially breaks rules. And the person he's creeped on in a friend. The burden of responsibility is sucky.

"The burden of responsibility is sucky."
Yes ma'm, it certainly is.
You hit the bull's eye by comparing it to a homeschool event because of how many people never do quite manage to become adults emotionally. Thus, you're probably dealing with a lot of gray-haired juvenile delinquents.
Keeping them busy is your best and safest bet and I'd do the name tags even if 90% of those coming know one another.
As for predator, feel free to dis-invite him! I certainly would. You're hosting a private event that's by invitation only. His main goal in coming is to look around for future victims anyway.
Trust me on this--I've dealt with a lot of 5th and 6th grade kids that were already managing to raise the hairs on the back of my neck. Predators don't suddenly hatch out at age 30 and immediately start looking for victims, you know.
Best of luck to you on this!

More whiny babies with the, "when will it be in MY backyard?" When you host one, bitches.
Someone suggested a dungeon take-over so I set that up and a upscale foodie event and I'm working on that. a lot going on.
German boy is upset because I leave the house and do things. I tell him repeatedly that my days of sitting on the couch waiting to die are long over. I'll hate to lose him because he makes me happy in so many many many ways but if he's going to be like this...
