Ugh, do I really want to?

transWhen I transitioned 13 years ago, I worked for a medium-sized company (300 people or so) near my hometown. I'd been there about 7 months pre-transition, and stayed about 6 months post-transition. So, to put it simply, they saw me at my most awkward. Being the entirety of the IT staff, I was also extremely visible, even before transition.
Anyway, I got a note via my mom a couple days ago (she'd worked for this company too), saying that the owner had pinged her about having a "reunion party" this weekend (the company has since been bought out by a larger organization). A part of me would really like to go. I had friends there, and despite some reservations about exactly how my boss met the challenge of my transition, I really always did consider her a good friend.
At the same time... Ugh... an entire gathering of people who knew him...
Would you go?
ETA: Not gunna go...
Not because I'm worried about the headspace or dealing with awkwardness, but because I remembered that I've got too much to do in the next several days and can't afford to blow Saturday on a fieldtrip down memory lane.
