If you don't want to spend any money at all there are still lots
of options open.  Go to a concert with a bunch of friends.  But don't
go into the concert.  Stay in the parking lot and bring any props that
you may already own like a camra or a lawn chair.  If you bring
friends with the right mentality to avoid boredem then fun will be at
hand no matter what.

Location location location.  Who do you want to talk to?  Where do
they go when they acutaly go out.  Remember that only 3.6% of the
population has an IQ above 125.  So there is a numbers game aspect to
the process.  Ren Fairs, Goth Clubs, Mensa meetings (which are often
held in public places so you can attend without paying the
membership), Conventions of all kinds, &c.  You will find people out
there that where draged allong to keep a friend company.  Seek those
people out.  You may have more in commen with them then you know.

You have been hanging out with the wrong kinds of drunks.  Or you have
not been taking an active roll in makeing sure that the conversations
arn't boring.  Sometime the more out there the better.  Thus the birth
marks questions.  One of the nice things about drunk people is that
they have less inhabitions and are more likely to answer the questions
if you set them up with the proper lead in questions and attitude.

Like I said, some times people get ropped into going.  Study the crowd
and find those that are odviously not haveing a good time.  On
Saturday I went to a place where I knew that some of my friends go
even though I had never been there.  Last night I found an email in my
mail box from one of those fringe people who I started a conversation
with.  I could spend all my time with people I knew or I could have
fun talking to the girl in the wheel chair.

about it"

                Is that your only wheel chair
               /        Or do you have a racing one at home.
