Do you know about Gold Star Events?
Do you love to go to fun events in the city you live in? I am moving across country and so will really appreciate getting an email of some of the cultural events in my new region. I am a very social person, and so enjoy meeting new people in my area. You never know, once you put yourself out there, where the journey will take you. That's what I loved about networking for my business. I met incredible people, collaborated with many of them, and was offered great opportunities like my radio show, which never would have happened if I hadn't put myself out there in the world.
I love to go to interesting events and so I have been signed up with several social groups here in L.A. As you know, I will be moving next month to Cape Cod, and will be looking for things to do and people to meet once I get there.
As of right now, there is nothing specifically for Cape Cod, but in most of the major U.S. cities, GoldStarEvents is a fabulous resource for fun and entertainment. It costs nothing to join, you just have to register and then once you type in your zip code(s), you will get a weekly email with all kinds of events and usually great discounts for tickets. In my new home, I might have to travel to Boston every so often, but that's ok with me. I am adventurous!
From the GoldStarEvents emails, I have seen many plays, music concerts, even movies at sometimes less than 50% of the ticket price! Ballet, comedy, concerts, musicals, first run movies...whatever you like, check with GoldStarEvents before you actually buy your ticket at the box office, many times you can find it cheaper there!
As an example, there is a fantastic theater right here in Topanga Canyon called Will Geer's Theatricum Botanicum (remember him from the old days?), known for it's Shakespeare amphitheater. They also do 20th century comedies and this summer, they are doing Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit. Get a ticket from the box office and it's gonna set you back twenty five smackers, on GoldStarEvents, only $12.50!
Another great source of fun events for people of all ages is MyPeopleConnection. I have been a member in Los Angeles (free!) for several years and have really watched it grow. In this group, volunteer event coordinators ferret out the fun stuff to do in your area and put together a group outing, often with special treatment such as discount tickets, exclusive tours or first rate seating. Each week, you get an email that lists the coming events, that can be anything from a girl's pyjama party brunch to a visit to the wild feline sanctuary to roller blading by the beach. It's a great way to meet people! There is no extra charge for events, but if you become a member ($25/yr), you get first dibs on registering for events. There are also some great members-only parties that always sounded like fun. Here's a link to their FAQs.
What I like about both these resources is that there is no pressure. They are not singles events, everyone is welcome, regardless of your age, sex, marital status, etc.
One more resource (I couldn't resist) is Meetup.com. Do you know about this? It is an amazing website. Check it out, you can either find people in your area who have similar interests, or for about $15/month you can list your own event to draw others of common mind. They even have meetings and events listed in Canada, Australia and about 3 dozen other countries!
So if you are looking for something fun to do, check them out!
