Random Philly is for people over 30 who like a random assortment kind of life. Kayaking one weekend, museum another, a game night here and there. Although it's mostly singles, we don't have that kind of vibe. Except for the no-show rule, we're a mellow, let's get together and skee ball it up group.
Why should you join this group? All your friends are married and now refuse to leave the house. You've decided that you cannot take another weekend sitting on the couch watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer reruns. (not that that's a bad thing) You don't need a keg at every gathering. You want to meet new people and aren't scared by doing things in the city.
Past gatherings have included roller skating, mini-golf, game nights and community mural paint by numbers. Potential activities include: baseball games, bowling, plays, festivals, the Mutter Museum, Boggle tournaments, skee ball what have you... There might be some suburban outings here and there. but this MeetUp will be mostly based in city limits.
Ideas are welcome, but please come to at least one Meet-Up first, so you can get an idea of the group vibe. We also shy away from things where tickets/reservations are required. Events tend to be open and free/cheap.
Self-deprecation and mockery welcome.
We have a couple basic rules.
1. No shows = booted. In once case, 40 people RSVPd yes and 12 people showed. It causes a lot of problems, so from now on, if you say yes and you don't show up, you're out.
2. Folks who cancel three times with less than 24 hours are also out. We realize things happen. Just not every time.
3. Suggestions are fabulous. Before you post an idea, please come to one of the other MeetUps so we can meet you. I don't really feel comfortable setting up an event for someone I haven't met! So come on out..
