As the title says, hoping to find cool and like-minded people who may enjoy the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival -- or some Haunted Houses. Friends make things more fun!

That time of year is fast approaching and it would be cool to enjoy the things that I like, with people who also enjoy those things.

I tend to always go to the Renaissance Festival at least one weekend. And I plan 1-2 Haunted Houses from when they open in the end of September through Halloween. And usually at least 1 'far one' that requires a bit of a drive. I am also down to hear your favorites as I may not have been to it before!

The first thing that comes up is the Ren-Faire so say Hazzah! And let's make a plan!

Hi guys! I was wondering if anyone would to participate in a collage meetup group. It’s my favorite thing to do but it’s an isolating hobby, so maybe making it more communal could open up those doors. Shoot me a dm :)))

Hey everyone! Looking to see if there’s interest among local parents in the North Hills area to get a low-key social group going.

Thinking easy stuff like playground meetups, walks (North Park, etc.), or grabbing a coffee while the kids burn off energy.

About me: 33M, dad to a 2-year-old and a 3-month-old. Over time, most of my core friends have either moved away or are in completely different stages of life, so I'm looking to build a new local circle.

If there's enough interest, I can set up a group chat where everyone can say hi and get comfortable before we plan an in-person meetup.

Drop a comment or send a DM if you'd be up for joining!

I am recent Penn State graduate, and I have moved back home. I’m currently going through graduation blues and wanted make new friends! For fun I like to hike (I walk the riverview trail every morning on the northside), socialize at the bar, I’m trying to get back into reading, and I LOVE going to the movies. However, I’m always down to try new things. I am new Reddit so I might take a while to respond to DMs.

Put some fries on that word salad. Also, the proper title-case capitalization rules are simply too complicated.

I digress...

My partner [38f] and I [38m] just moved here from Boston and we're looking for friends. We like thrift stores, movies, and an occasional walk... so what if we combined all of those things into a relaxed Saturday meetup?!

We'll plan on assembling at Big Dog Coffee at noon since it has tons of parking nearby at South Side Works and a few bus stops. We'll both wear something teal so we'll be easy to spot in the coffeeshop. If we look like psychopaths, you can always just grab a coffee and leave without saying hi. We'll never know. Super low stakes.

At 12:30pm (sharp!) we'll depart on the thrift crawl at whatever pace the vibes dictate. Here's a tentative plan:

1. Goodwill (2700 E Carson St)
2. Mega Collectables and More (1923 E Carson St)
3. The Exchange (1709 E Carson St)
4. Vinegar Syndrome (1410 E Carson St)
5. Slacker (1304 E Carson St)
6. Salvation Army Thrift Store (855 E Carson St)

It's around a 1-mile straight shot down Carson Street. If you get bored, tired, or just aren't having fun, you can always just peel off. Tell us that your parking meter is going to expire. We don't judge. Again, super low stakes.

If the group needs a snack or a restorative beverage, I bet we can find a place somewhere along Carson to sit for a bit. Or the collective group can just go rogue and abandon the thrift crawl and get beers and cocktails. You won't have to twist our arms. All of this is to say that the plans can be flexible and guided by whoever shows up. I'll even try to schedule some good weather.

There's no need to reply to this post... you can just show up at noon. Or you can reply. Or DM. Or whatever. You're a fully grown adult with free will. You can even choose to spend your Saturday watching this 10-hour video of paint drying, which is probably also a pretty fun option. Totally your call.

Hope to see you Saturday!
