I started this meetup over a year ago and haven't looked back since. I'm in my late 30's (gulp), and am SO not into the bar/club scene or crazy meetups with tons of people. I love board games (U.S.) and pop-culture trivia so I thought I'd start my own meetup group and host regular smaller-scaled game nights in my home. The smaller groups definitely make it easier and more fun in getting to know each other better. We get together once a month or so, play games ranging from DVD Trivia/Pop Culture …

Hello future friends and socialites! This group was inspired by one lonely night at a bar where I was eating and minding my own business, when suddenly droves of people (droves!) walked in, filling the place. This happened in a matter of 10 minutes. And it made me realize- I need to be in one of these groups. Taking a quick step back, I'm new to Santa Monica (and CA) as of March 2013. Hopefully we'll all make some new friends and explore this awesome city! About YOU- this group is primarily inte …

Why did I start this group? I decided to start this group because I'm looking to meet friends with similar interests who want to take advantage of L.A. with me.

Many of my friends are unavailable because they have moved, have new young families that are the priority, or always seem to be in the middle of a crisis. I'm looking for do …

New to Santa Monica and even though I have ventured out. I was recently looking for a soccer meet up but then I stumbled on a few others, but all were "booked/sold out" - so why not create another for a more relaxed environment. Go to a bar without the formality of registering and just agree to meet at a bar, restaurant etc at a certain time. Maybe wear a certain color or just look for a certain spot in a bar!!! It may work! I am sure there are others that are always locked out!
