I finished my profile for the local meetup here in Baton Rouge, today. I still have to pay dues, but yes when I am able to, I will attend meetings and discussions. I need to interact with people with whom I can discuss my/our views without feeling I have to defend my position. Here is a list of Atheist, Agnostic, Humanist, etc. meetups around the U.S.:

As far as hosting an event? Not in my present circumstances. Sometime in the future, absolutely.

Absolutely I would do both.

 

I sort of do already, a few of my friends are also TA members and it seems every time we get together the conversation turns to religion vs. science.

Maybe and probably not.

 

I'm not a hugely social kind of person, but it would be nice to meet people face to face.....just not in my house...

That depends. There are already a good deal of gatherings in my town that I never go to because they're... boring. I can sit and talk to other atheists at home, in my pajamas, and eat whatever I want. Why would I sacrifice that freedom to go to a stuffy restaurant and talk?

 

Now, if it was an event that involved something more than eating and talking, I'd go.

 

Oh, I suppose I could "host" something if I got desperate enough but it would be something along the lines of, "Meet at the front gates, 10a. Bring money. We're entering at 10:01."

I would definitely attend and I would love to host my own event if I had the place for it. I have only been a member here for about five months and I have been active on the site for less than two and it is quickly becoming my second home. I would love to have the discussions we have on this site in person.
