Parties are for Popular people...

So my company threw a release party for GRAVBOT, our newest IPHONE and IPOD touch game (google some reviews, it is totally worth the free DL).
I invited a decent amount of people both via facebook, and for those who I wanted to show up not on facebook in instant message. One friend I invited in person when I was hanging out with him on Tuesday. That friend was the ONLY one I invited who showed up.
Is it really a coincidence that all 10-15 people I invited couldn't make it? Or am I just low enough on people's priority list that a party I invite them to is less important than anything else they may have wanted to do last night.
I was there until 1am. so people coming late would have been fine, but no one came, even after they finished what else they were doing. I don't know whether I'm sad or pissed, but it sure ain't happy.
On the "bright" side, at least now I can avoid the disappointment of throwing my own party and undoubtedly no one coming. :/

So I feel your pain...I feel your unhappiness. It is extremely disheartening and it makes me never want to organize events anymore, because I just get this slight feeling that nobody really gives a crap anymore.
