What we’re about
Welcome to the Tucson Introverts and Nerds Meetup Group! Looking to meet new people but shy or quiet? Are you quirky or nerdy?
This group is for those looking to meet new people outside of the standard happy hour meetups. Do not bring people under the age of 18. Some activities we will be doing are game nights, arcades, trivia, museums, botanical gardens, historical sites, festivals and fairs, and other nerdy/intellectual events.
Join us for a friendly and inclusive environment where you can connect with others and make new friends.
New meetup rules:
You have to update your RSVP at the 24-hour mark before the event. I will send a reminder message.
Any additional changes after 24 hours prior to the event require a change in meetup RSVP AND a comment on the event.
If you continually RSVP yes but do not show up to events, you will be removed from the group.
Events with less than five people RSVP’ed will cancelled four hours before the meetup.

Seanan McGuire is the author of the October Daye urban fantasies, the InCryptid urban fantasies, and several other works both stand-alone and in trilogies or duologies. In case that wasn't enough, she also writes under the pseudonym "Mira Grant." For details on her work as Mira, check out MiraGrant.com. In her spare time, Seanan records CDs of her original filk music (see the Albums page for details). She is also a cartoonist, and draws an irregularly posted autobiographical web comic, "With Friends Like These...", as well as generating a truly ridiculous number of art cards. Surprisingly enough, she finds time to take multi-hour walks, blog regularly, watch a sickening amount of television, maintain her website, and go to pretty much any movie with the words "blood," "night," "terror," or "attack" in the title. Most people believe she doesn't sleep. (Excerpted from https://seananmcguire.com/bio.php)
