Meetup is a good idea—they provide a mechanism for people with a particular interest to find out about others like themselves in their area, and get together with them—but I think Science Fiction Writer Meetup is close to seventy years late: been there, done that, built a subculture out of it.

Austin likewise. Guess I'll have to console myself drinking beer with Cory at Bruce's place after SXSW.
