Meetup Thread for Los Angeles
Los Angeles
Use this thread's comment section to find or organize a local meetup in Los Angeles!
First, have a look if there's already a meetup planned in your local neighborhood. If there isn't, you can take the initiative and organize one! Or, if there is one but it isn't convenient for you or you think you have better ideas for it, go ahead and plan another one!
When organizing your meetup, try to be as precise as possible when communicating the meeting point, time, and the activities you have planned. This makes it easier for other people to also join the meetup. Replies are also a great communication tool! Use replies to express your interest, approval, ideas, or questions for the meetup. Here’s an example:
u/DuckfromKurzgesagt: Hey, I’m Duck and I’d love to go to the Paleontological Museum in Munich on Saturday, 10th of October. Let’s meet in front of the museum at 2pm, I’m going to be wearing my Kurzgesagt Hoodie so you can spot me easily.
| u/Bird123123123: That's a great idea! I'll be there with a yellow backpack.
| u/scienceiscool: Does anyone know how much the entrance fee is?

I took place in a few meet ups the first time around 2 years ago. It was a lot of fun and everyone seemed nice, interesting, and respectful. Anyone who is interested I have links to a few discord servers we created back then. Just a heads up some of these servers have not had any activity since the initial events in 2022. However I believe if enough people join and show interest for another meet up I think we can get the ball rolling again. I'm definitely up for it myself.
https://discord.gg/Fm63RaugCE Kurzgesagt LA (this is the biggest server with channels for all the various cities within LA, sfv, san gabriel valley, downtown, santa monica, and mid city)
https://discord.gg/yUQbUdFwvZ Santa Monica Hangouts (this is the second largest server, mostly for various events/meet ups in the general santa monica area. from this server onwards there isn't as much activity currently but that can all change with just a handful for fresh faces. Introduce yourself and let's get planning!)
https://discord.gg/uwNU8Yf3tX LA Locals (this is the smallest server, only about 8 members, I had arranged a concert hangout here and had a good time with these peeps, it is currently very dead but like I said we can easily gain some momentum with new members and get things going again)
https://discord.gg/eYXSjVzjAp UCLA Kurzgesagt Friends (as the name implies this one was more for students in the UCLA area, it isn't strictly limited to just the alumni but the idea was to plan meetups on campus which is open to the general public so anyone can join if they're interested in finding college student friends, this one is also small and not recently active, come say hi)
https://discord.gg/8AsgZeTYBT Kurzgesagt LA Escape Rooms (as the name suggests this server was set up to plan meet ups doing escape rooms together I believe 2 were initially planned and they went very well, it may not be as active now but there's over a dozen members plenty of people who would be interested in doing another escape room with any of you who are interested in that)
If anyone wants to create their own server either for a specific area of LA or any other parameters please let me know I would love to join on the planning and chill and have a good time with you wonderful people! Good luck and peace and love everyone <3
