Last night Irish and I went out for an evening of rabble-rousing with a new group that we met... ahem.... online. One lovely girl started this local group and if last night was any indication, it's certainly been a success. There must have been 35 people there! We met at a local irish pub (poor show of Gu1nness, we didn't bother...) and some of had dinner and pints, others just drinks. The people I met were really nice and even though most of them had been out together before, they made us feel welcome and that felt really good. There is constantly something to do with the group - that particular event was the 3rd Tuesday gathering at a local establishment. Those with dogs often meet up at the local dog park and hang out. There's coffee days, hockey games, parties. You name it. If they don't have it, you can arrange it. They even have salsa dancing lessons, which irish is willing to give a go. It's tonight though, and after 5 pints last night, I woke up with a cold starting and all I want to do is lay down and go to sleep!
Looking forward to making new friends though. It feels good to try and get connected in a new town. Hopefully it will continue to go well.

Remind me of this in a few months time when I move to the other side of the planet (well, practically!)...
I will need to find a group like that. Yours sounds like so much fun! :-)
Oooooh, how fun! I sure can't wait until we're settled into the new place so we all can get together.
Soon.....
