Here's an easy way to break the ice, I use this as Hornet a lot:
Walk up to someone, address them directly, and mistake them for someone else (preferably some person from your past, a childhood acquaintance maybe). When they correct you the situation can be a humorous little chance to strike up a conversation. "Wow you look just like an old friend of mine..." can lead to all sorts of good stuff.
