I had thought about coming to Seattle this weekend, but there's just too much other stuff going on to make that work.

Poo.
See, I met you once - I could talk to you!
No spoken words said:I have a hard time talking to strangers if I'm in a social setting where it's expected. However, if I'm on a train, or in a store, etc...I'm perfectly able and sometimes willing to strike up a conversation with someone out of the blue.
I do not know if that makes sense or not, sorry.
ThoraSEB said:I'll have to let you know the next time I'm coming down. It will probably be next month sometime.

That makes perfect sense to me. I hate settings in which you are expected to BE interesting.
My theory on small talk is this: It is better to be interested than interesting and better to be fun than funny.
If you think you are interesting, you are probably the douche that talks about yourself way to much. If you are interested, you will actually listen to and hear what other people have to say and share enough about yourself to actually make a connection.
Again, very few people are actually funny. I think the gift of funny is as rare as the gift of supermodel beauty. But, we don't have to be funny, all we have to be is fun. Are you the type of person who is looking to laugh in the moment. Do you laugh at what people say, do you laugh at situations, and most importantly do you laugh at yourself. If you do, then you people will probably enjoy being around you. Even if you aren't really interesting or funny.
When meeting new people, I just try to make a connection and have a good time.
