How to Make New Friends at Regional Events

I think the real connections are made at these smaller regional events that are being planned. Just a few weeks ago, you and I decided to go to a winery. And we ended up with nine people there with us because we just threw it out in our regional chat. The very next weekend there was like a gathering of folks right before the Super Bowl. They like pre-gained the Super Bowl near DC and you and I couldn't go to that one but that's the beauty of it. Like they people just throw it out there and then all of a sudden you have somebody show up you haven't met before and you make new friends.
