What we’re about
Hey y’all welcome to Prickly Pear-Pressure! I have been hosting and attending meetups for 12 years now and the biggest takeaway is this… Anyone can post an event at a bar and have a bunch of people show up. What ends up making it special is the powerful community of people that you end up building. It happens little by little at first, but eventually it grows into a collection of people who are actual friends; people who actually want to see each other and keep in contact after that event, and people who actually care about each other. That is what I am trying to build with this group, and I welcome anyone who wants to be a part of it 😊
Another key ingredient in an award winning meetup stew is having a crack team of organizers with a diverse range of ideas. My goal is to have multiple organizers hosting a wide variety of unique events at places you may not have heard of, involving activities that you may not have ever tried. In order to be an adventure it has to be exciting and unique, with possible uncertain outcomes. I encourage anyone who wants to host an event to come speak to me. I only ask that you join us for a couple events first, and that you agree to not post similar events at the same time as other organizers events. I will also ask you to join our organizer group chat so that we can discuss our upcoming calendar, as well as to share ideas.
Last but not least, I want to create an environment where everyone feels safe and comfortable. Please be respectful of others. Harassing other group members will not be tolerated. I ask anyone who is having an issue with another member to come to me or to one of our group’s organizers. I my events have all been fun and welcoming, and I intend to keep it that way.
I look forward to meeting all of you and building a group of fun individuals.
Aaaaaaad-VENTURE!
