What we’re about
- "those who die with the most friends.... WIN!
- This group is NOT about finding a significant other, it's about finding others who are significant.
- Quick Note: This MeetUp group is part of a larger NextDoor group with 500 members. So if 5 people are shown to be attending, it could be 35!
- Here's the deal. This group is about meeting new friends and people to hang out with. We have two types of events, special events and weekly events. Every week, we go to the Port Restaurant and Bar in Corona del Mar. If you come regularly, you will know half the people in the bar, and you will be greeted. The bar tender will know your order. Yes, it is kind of like "Cheers." Unfortunately, many folks DON'T LIKE consistency, things that are the same every week. But it is this consistency where you meet the same people, and can REALLY MAKE FRIENDS. So please come to the Port Restuarant and hang out with us.
- Back to our regular scheduled information....
- Here's the deal: you are retired, or near retirement. You know what would make your life better? How about some new FRIENDS! No wait: how about some new BEST FRIENDS?
- Come to our get togethers! The first time will be hardest of course, but you'll meet some people (who are like you!) and the NEXT time, you'll know them a little. By the TENTH happy hour, you'll have new friends. I promise! This group has actually created a bunch of new, BEST FRIENDS, all based on our happy hours! But you have to come, and come back! It's a WONDER!
- I offer a money back guarantee! Even though being a part of this group is FREE!
- This group is about meeting people to HANG OUT WITH. We want to meet folks and make friends. And drink responsibly.
- This Meet Up Group is an add-on to a NextDoor 50+ Group of Newport Beach.
- The 50+ Group of the Greater Newport Beach area was created to help folks expand their social network: to meet new people, to make new friends
- Age range is from the 50's and up with no limit. We have some cool 90 year old members!
- This is about FRIENDSHIP and meeting new people.
- Meet people to walk with, to hang out with!
- Come expand your social network!
- Plus it's FREE! HOWEVER, BECAUSE WE ARE A CHALLENGE TO THE RESTAURANT AND THE WORKERS, PLEASE TIP YOUR SERVER GENEROUSLY REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU GET! WE WANT TO BE WELCOME TO THESE VENUES!
- As leader of the group, I've met dozens of wonderful people, and folks tell me that these Happy Hours have changed their lives for the better!

Karaoke Night at THE PORT RESTAURANT Corona del Mar
Port Restaurant and Bar, 440 Heliotrope Ave, Corona Del Mar, CA, USHEY: WE TYPICALLY GET 8-14 FOLKS FOR THIS EVENT, BUT NOBODY SIGNS UP SO IT LOOKS LIKE NOBODY IS GOING! BUT FOLKS DO! SO COME JOIN US! How fun is this group? Check this bad video from a recent event... The singer is a local professional, the back-up singers are from our group.... https://youtu.be/5_gp1HTeQX0
Karaoke nights are really fun. You don't have to sing, but the singers give you something to talk about at your table: you can reminisce about old songs and so on. This is a great way to meet people in our group, and those attending are typically youthful and spirited! I mean look at the accompanying picture! In addition, parking is easy, no cover charge (though you should tip the DJ) and the Port Restaurant is unique as well. Come join us!
THE PORT RESTAURANT IS LOW KEY, FOOD IS EXCELLENT, KARAOKE IS FUN TO LISTEN TO, ESPECIALLY WHEN MOLLY SHOWS UP! AND ANGIE AND PAT AND MADELYN (SHE MAKES ME SWOON) AND BRUCE AND NOELLE (A PHENOMENON!)

OASIS Senior Citizen Center, 801 Narcissus Ave, Corona Del Mar, CA, USDiscussion will focus on The Four Horsemen of Our Cognitive Apocalypse: Motivated Reasoning,
the Backfire Effect, Creeping Normalcy, and Prevalence-Induced Concept Change.

6. Prevalence Induced Concept Change
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VksaC2TSrUs 4minGee whilikers, this will be a packed and VERY INTERESTING session! I hope you all can make it!
Even though few MeetUp people sign up, we typcally get 20-30 people in the discussion group. Here's the scoop. When you are over 50 years old, lots of weird and strange things happen and it's a great time to think about WHAT IT ALL MEANS.
In this discussion group, we will discuss a variety of philosophy topics, and try to understand how they affect our lives.
This will be low key: lots of talking, not much lecturing, and the concepts will be made easy. It will be FUN! I promise or your money back! Except it's free anyway!
We'll talk about cool things like Plato's allegory of the cave, the Myth of Sisyphus, and ALL SORTS of topics. Ovens will be available so we can BAKE OUR OWN PHILOSOPHY! I mean, conceptually.
