Meetup.com is GREAT.
I’m moving to San Francisco and spent the afternoon meandering through all the SF meetup groups – it’s the most entertaining form of an anthropological dig.
There’s a Northern California Vampires Meetup group (162 Vampires!)…the San Francisco Ex-New Yorkers Group….The Eckhart Tolle Silent Local Group (you have got to be lonely if you’re meeting up with people to be quiet)…Fried Chicken Sluts….Starting Over Without Him…The Jewish Response To The Clean Energy Challenge…Boggle – for people who like to play Boggle, but stipulates that “anyone of any age is welcome, except serial killers and birthers”….Swing Goth (as in Goths who like to swing dance)…Bay Area Cold Fusion User group….Bay Area Social Anxiety Disorder Meetup group (wha? How do they even get together?)…Intentional Love Making Circles (if that’s not a sex group then that’s an unfortunate name)….Wittgenstein and Nietzsche Discussion Group (I’m sure this is what the developers of the www thought it was going to be like)…the San Francisco lonely empty nesters club (such a catchy name, but only 2 members)…and then there’s Fun Times San Francisco for “female (and female-identifying) only.”
Plus 2,000 other groups.
