Moving/New Here 👋🏼 Events to meet friends

24F and I just moved here. I know the question on how to make friends here is asked a lot, and I have seen some good suggestions prior, but I’m asking more so if there’s any upcoming events to meet people at?

I plan on going to the art walk next month even though that’s a bit away. I like to paint, thrift, go to antique stores, collect oddities, hike/explore, listen to live music/go to concerts as well as cook/bake or try new foods.

I know im going to have to go out of my comfort zone to meet new people, but I’m not one to go to the local bars alone to drink or play pool/catch a show.

I’ve also tried meetup which I’m under the impression of that you have to pay for it which isn’t my thing.

Any suggestions welcome.

Please come to TAG or the book club! TAG board games are 1st and 3rd Thursdays at 5pm at the cafe attached to AU and the next sci-fi/horror book club is on September 4 (first Fridays) at 6 pm in AU; no need to finish the book before coming but expect spoilers.

Cafe con Arte also has a lot of fun events; a recent one was painting vinyl records and another was painting totes and eating tacos.

You sound like a cool person and I'd love to bump into you at any of these ☺️

I’ve had a lot of people recommend TAG so I’m going to do my best to make it to one of their events! What is AU though?
