I am suddenly
extremely popular. I went on an internet blitz and joined a slew of Meetup.com groups. When you’re as unhip as I am, these things, such as the popularity of Meetup groups, trickle down late to you. I can’t believe how many social calendars I now have to pick through. My inbox is packed with emails from Meetup folks. I already met my first Meetup pal too: a Filipino man in his 60s. We played tennis and he was quite good, a quality player. But then he told me that he had a stent in his heart and I felt bad for running him around.
The thing I love about Meetup is that it’s just hordes of people who like to do things. Perfect for an L.A. wanderer like me.
