I have no prior experience in organizing this sort but if thing, but uh, here's a new MeetUp I'm starting.
BAMF - Bay Area Members of the Fediverse

Currently testing it out to gauge interest. If you live in the Bay Area and want to come out and make new friends, that would be the most amazing thing.
I'll pick a date and a venue soon.
