Meetup.com Site

[Isk8NYC]

I'm not sure how successful this is, but I came across it tonight while looking for something. There is an entire site dedicated to "Meetups" among strangers who have some interest in common. I don't know if it's just for fun or a lonely hearts situation, but I was impressed that the groups meet around the world and there are a number of skating meetup groups that are very active.

As I said, I have no experience with either the website or these groups, but I just thought I'd share my find. If anyone's participated, I'd like to hear your opinions.

I took a look at a meetup group in my area and spotted someone I know that I used to skate with!

I think I recognize one of the ladies on my (new) local group. They're skating this weekend at a rink not too far from my house, but I have other plans and I have the twins this weekend, so I doubt I'll catch up with them.

I'm unreliable about appointments - usually something comes up with the kids, so I end up cancelling.
I also don't like to give out my email address. lol
