Get Thyself to a Munch!

Munches are a great way to begin to get to know people in the community. Sitting down to lunch or dinner in a public restaurant or Pub is conducive to conversation. Attending Munches for a few months will insure that when you go to the local play party you will likely know a few people. It's also a great place to find out what the local play spaces are like.

Here is a great article by Jay Wiseman that gives a good overview of what to expect when you attend a munch, A Beginner's Guide to BDSM Munches

Before there was FetLife, there was the SoCal SM Event List run by LadyBadger; the list still exists and you may find it worth subscribing to, though it isn't as useful as it once was.
