Etiquette for dining alone at communal tables?
I'm going to Compose solo tonight for the tasting. Would it be odd to bring a magazine to read? Or should I go and hope to be included in others' conversations? I've never done this before so advice is greatly appreciated!

Bring a magazine or a book. There'll likely be downtime between courses, you don't want to look as if you're eavesdropping on your neighbor's conversation. If you happen to get into one, great. If not, though, you'll want a backup. And reading looks classier than playing "Angry Birds" on your cell phone.
