I attended my first Meetup for the Norfolk.js group exactly 2 years ago, in December of 2014 (https://fvcproductions.com/2014/12/23/first-meetup-first-impressions/).

Since then, I have attended numerous Meetup events and have even gone on to speak at a Meetup event myself at that same group last January.

In other words, I have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of Meetup's product journey and I'm taking my chances at a crazy cool opportunity to try and become part of that myself.

So I went to my first Meetup ever on December 15, 2014 with NorfolkJS and it was basically an “Introduction to Travis-CI”.

I didn’t really know anything about Travis CI going in (other than the fact that some coding bootcamps have used it for projects) but I’m still glad I was able to get some perspective from one of the engineers there.

I also got a free book, “If Hemingway wrote JavaScript” (which is pretty amusing so far!), a new network of local coding peeps, and tons of potential future fun.

Besides NorfolkJS, I also joined adrenaline_ junkies, GDG Hampton Roads, HR FEN (Hampton Roads Friends, Events and Networking), Southeastern Virginia Skeptics, Tidewater Atheists Group (TAG), Tidewater Science and Reason, and the Vegan Dinner Social and Pleasure Club.

I went to a planetarium show and was recommended a really great book (Mad Cowboy) in other Meetups so far.

I also ended up going to my first non-tech related meetup soon afterward with Hampton Roads Friends, Events, and Networking.

The official title of this Meetup was Macaroni Grill Restaurant, Town Center – New Member Mixer Dinner.

Here were some of my highlights:

- Finding out people’s ages was a challenge for everyone (people who looked 21 were actually 41).
- I was probably the youngest person there at 19 which was surprisingly not awkward at all.
- I met a fellow Latina, who I chatted a lot with and who shared with me that I was the first Hispanic she’s come across in the Meetups she’s gone to so far.
- There was a very keen and optimistic meat eater right across from me which was just ironic because I’m strictly vegetarian.
- Dinner cost $15 bucks which wasn’t bad for some pretty good pasta, salad, bread, and water.
- I got a few business cards, so the networking part is a check.
- The waitress was ridiculously bubbly, so I felt obliged to give her a decent tip (which is not something I usually do, tbh). Shrug.
- I felt that at least 40 people showed up in total, although there was probably more since 70 people initially signed up (a lot of people did cancel at the last minute though).

Conclusion? Meeting new people always prove to be an interesting experience.
