http://www.meetup.com is a site that I found for local meetups with folks of similar interest. Check it out. It could go somewhere or not, of course.
I find that site semi to extremly horrifying. I'm just not sure to what degree that site freaks me out.
it's been arround for ages. i was on there two or three machines/operating systems/browsers ago. several online groups i've been in have tried to use it. never once had anything set up through it materialize. plus they want someone to pay. that's a silly stupid load of crap. there's a million zillion other ways to do the same thing and you don't have to pay anyone to do so. =^^= .../\...
