I read your profile and the Meetup.com site is great for finding other Libertarians and off-grid people (Jay Shafer/Andrew Morrison fan, here). There is also a lot of activity in local GOP groups as Libs work to take over the leadership positions there. You know pretty much in advance how big the gathering will be and can pick and choose.

I am not much for crowds of people, often eschewing people altogether, but I can't live without a few that I truly love. I met my best friend at a munch a million years ago. I've found the best times for making friends is after things have officially ended, and people are broken off into little groups of conversations. You can seek out the person who said something that made you nod your head vigorously or feel that warmth of affinity and have a few private moments of conversation without a whole table of people turning to look at you.

You come off as a very interesting, multi-faceted person who would be fascinating to know and spend time with, so I doubt you'll have problems once you're surrounded by like-minded, equally passionate people.

meetup- doesnt cover my neck of the woods. Tho I did get a ROn Paul phone call from there once. On art gallery- I forgot about that. I met a friend that way. She flat out told me- she came for the free food. Not the art. I laughed.

I wonder what ever happened to her. I never told her I was gay- and I think she was sorta hoping that......there could be more.

Maybe take a part time job not necessarily for the money but for the venue. What do you like? Work in a coffee shop maybe, or a book store, or a small diner or restaurant or a pub. Maybe the money won't be great, but they are social places. You will be making some money at the same time, and you'll be networking too.
