For those who are truly food obsessed. You've been and will go to the ends of the earth to find the perfect ramen, foie gras, reuben, gelato, sidecar... You love going to both 3 Michelin star restaurants as well as taco trucks to find that little bit of food epiphany. You love following new trends and ideas in food both in your own kitchen and restaurants. You'd consider yourself an advanced foodie. I'm one, are you one too? I'm hoping to go to restaurants together, have food related adventures, …

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 …
