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. I moved to Manhattan Beach from my home state of Iowa in 2002 but spent the past 3 years back in Iowa. The beach and warm weather called me back, so here I am again! 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 …

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 …

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 …

Do you love IPA Beers? If so, then this Meetup Group is for you! If you are an IPA Lover, then you probably already know it. What is an IPA? IPA stands for India Pale Ale. IPAs do not come from India and have little to do with India other than their historic origin. When the British began to have outposts in India a few centuries ago they would ship beer from Britain to India. Back then it would take many months on sailing ships for the beer to get to India and much of that travel was through ho …
