You have to know someone, even if that someone isn't in the industry. Start there, so that you can meet 10 people at the first event you attend. Share with the new people you meet that you're looking for someone to attend events with.
If you literally don't know anyone (maybe you just moved to town) you're going to have to create a strategy for overcoming your fear, just for the first event, so you can meet a few people to start your contacts.
Because it's about "who you know and who knows you" it's essential that you get yourself out there.

Best way is to get drunk and just go for it. You'll either get kicked out our be the life of the party. If you fail, get bombed and try again.
Von, while you gave me a chuckle, I can't say that you have described the "best way" it is one way.. I have at least ten other ways I prefer which make a much better first impression. But thanks for reading and taking the time to comment
