Can you give me an example of the type of meetup you're attending? Will look for some in my area. Ty!

Sure. I'm only attending things online right now though. Here's a few of my past ones:

- Writing Meetup (talk about what you're writing right now, or share a passage and get feedback)

- Virtual Tour Meetup (a tour guide gives a presentation about a travel destination, past presentations are still up on their website): https://www.girltraveltours.com/

- Improv meetup - practice Improv with others online (now in person so online stopped and I don't live close enough to go to it)

- Game meetups - the local library and another group have regular Jackbox, Among Us, Gartic Phone, and BoardGameArena online game nights

- Book Club meetups - attended one discussing 'How to Avoid a Climate Disaster' by Bill Gates recently, but I've been to others as well

- History meetups - attended a few lectures about past events in history, like Shackleton's disaster of an exploration attempt in Antarctica (pretty crazy story), one on the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald in Lake Superior, one on HH Holmes, etc.

- Virtual hack night or coding presentation events - Talking about something related to code, sometimes getting online to talk about and work on our own projects and keep each other accountable, etc.

Thanks! Those sound cool.
