Hi Dinah,
I do the test drive- where to park, where to go in, too.
Idea on what to wear: long denim or other casual looking skirt, T shirt and sandals. Wear pink- I remember in Chicago that pink is a power color for you.
I try to hide in the back of the room, so when entering an unknown social situation I'd head right to the back of the room. Maybe you'll luck out and find kindred spirits who aren't comfortable being there and you can all avoid conversation, but look like you're socializing. Otherwise stick to easy things like *can you believe how much school supplies and clothes are this year.* Or talk about pets. Since I don't have kids, I always hope someone at a social event has cats.
You'll get through this. Your son will be happy he got to go to the event. Take care.
