Have some conversation topics ready in case things are lagging. Just a few things you can ask or question you have. That way if it feels awkward, you can chime in with something you've practiced.
Also - smile! As someone who isn't only shy and introverted, but suffers from social anxiety, I've realized that smiling and looking like you're open to other people makes a big different in how they see you. If you look like you're enjoying yourself (and you may not - rush can be hectic and taxing!) then people will see you as enjoying yourself.
Carve out time after rush events to relax and do something quiet and non-stimulating for yourself to calm down and relax and get centered again.
