New Discovery

I discovered the coolest website last week, via a good friend in Philadelphia, called Meetup. "Meetup is an online social networking portal that facilitates offline group meetings in various locations around the world. Meetup allows members to find and join groups unified by a common interest. Users enter their ZIP code or their city and the topic they want to meet about, and the website helps them arrange a place and time to meet." Pretty much it's online dating, but for finding friends. It's great because we're all in the same situation wanting to meet/make friends. I went to a meetup on Saturday (it's a miracle I didn't have to work) where we had coffee and waffles. It was fun! There were about 10 of us in this group. This particular group plans meetups 3-4 times a month and I'm hoping I can make it to more! I've joined a few other groups, but haven't gone to any meetups through them yet. There's any group imaginable....dancing, dating, singels in LA, pub crawls, etc. etc. etc. I'm excited to see what, if anything, comes from my new discover.
