Just moved to OC this year, looking to meet new people. Any events, groups, or meetups for interests related to mine?

Meetup

I moved to Orange County in March after living in Long Beach for a year. I moved here from Minnesota to escape the bad winters.

I work from home which is making it a little difficult to find natural ways to meet new people. My only relative here moved away this month.

I’m 32, male, single (divorced), no kids but have a corgi, with some varied interests like:

- Cars, road tripping, and racing (I own a new to me Nissan 400Z which I might tinker with)
- Motorcycles (I ride a 22 Indian Chief , likewise might tinker with it)
- Tabletop Gaming (specifically wanting to learn 40K)
- Art, illustration, drawing (art meetups and/or drawing lessons or studio model practice)
- Music shows, primarily psychedelic rock, metal, doom
- Video games (RPGs, MMOs, shooters, racing)

I’m just bad at chatting up random folks I don’t know. Promise I’m not a weirdo (the bad kind)!
