how does one meet FUN people in this town? i moved here august and i met these people. i have a group that i hang out with but they are all depressing and take antidepressants. they are not reliable to hang out with and i need to get away from these people, not only that but i don't find much in common with them. i find it's hard to met other people when you don't have any other connections. they stay in their little group and it's hard to met people through them. any suggestions? i just want to find people who don't bitch about life in every conversation and who are at least interested in the things that i like. - Tue, 20 Jan 2004 6:57pm

Best way to meet people is to go to the next Self Inflicted show this Friday at Lucky Bar.

Why you may ask?

Becuase most people don't pay attention to the band, so you should have lots of people to talk to, all stuck in a small place and drinking their faces off. Perfect! - Wed, 21 Jan 2004 7:47am

I agree with Blaire, and I also suggest signing up for classes of some kind. Local community centres have fitness classes, or reading groups, or instrument lessons...etc. You can meet shitloads of people with similar interests to you if you just get yourself out there. - Thu, 22 Jan 2004 5:31am

Bah, wanna meet people? Go places really, if youre problem is finding people your crowd, go to an event you like and go around smoking up people, I meet so meny stoners all the time, hell even smoking in the park, see someone who doesn't look like a tool, we don't mind yelling "hey wanna smoke a cannon?" - Weed in Victoria = massive friend maker, and with weed, who gives a fuck if the person turns out to be cool or not, you'll be too stoned to care!!!

And i'm too stoned to sound like my neurons fire properly I'll stfu now. - Thu, 22 Jan 2004 11:13am

first step: dont be anti-social.

go to shows and go to outings and check out some bars/pubs and all that. we have lots of events in vic to take part in..introduce yourself to people and be outgoing. i find that meeting new people in this city is easy. - Thu, 22 Jan 2004 6:41pm

Having friends in your head helps...

Play your Bass guitar in a band instead of selling it. Band mates always make interesting friends and sometimes more. - Fri, 23 Jan 2004 9:48am

Ooooh, maybe something more? Mmmmmmmmm, i like the sound of that. How 'bout this? Rollerhockey in E-town, then hotdogs at outside 7/11, then we'll wait for a boot outside the Dougie, chug back some wine, then back to 7/11, then shooters at the Tally- Ho, then a quick nervious handjob in the Mcdonalds washroom, then back to 7/11 for a while, some dry humping, some more cheap red wine, drown in eachothers eyes for what may seem like an eternity, maybe puke on some parked cars and finally we'll top the night off passed out in eachothers supple arms in a buddies car-hole covered in our own puke and urine. And possibly a long caring relationship filled with joy and happiness. I can't wait. - Fri, 23 Jan 2004 9:56am

Thats where having friends in your head helps,

Damn, should have called you when we needed a bassist.

Keep practicing and posting on livevic, eventually something will come up. If I get my band back together, perhaps you can jam with us. I would have mentioned you awhile ago if I knew you still had your Bass. - Fri, 23 Jan 2004 12:36pm
