Welcome Fellow Victims of the Great Recession!

This is a home for anyone laid off as a result of the Great Recession of 2007-2012. We aim to take advantage of this (hopefully) once in a lifetime opportunity to get out there and do some of the things we should have been doing all those years while we were too busy working for The Man.

We're definitely going to be hitting a good bar while the sun's up and watch that game that all our old co-workers wish they could see (hello MLB Playoff day games, World Cup qualifiers and Champions League soccer matches), drink some cold ones and text message them back at the office and go "Ha! Guess what I'm doing!". We can also see some cool live bands and stay up late (no need to wake up early after all), see a new movie, check out an event, or be the first in line for stuff that will otherwise be jammed packed at 5pm. Maybe a member will open up their house to host a pool tournament, or allow us to get on their new Beatles Rock Band they just bought, or whatever toys people bought back in the day that's been collecting dust. Now's the time for us to justify getting all that stuff!

And, uh, do some exercise type things to lose weight (the spouse will certainly appreciate that!)

This isn't a networking group, nobody should expect to get a job out of this, but rather its a chance to once in a while get out of the house and do something for a few hours with some cool people you'd otherwise never meet who also happen to understand what you're going through.
