Choosing My LA Scenes
by Loolwa Khazzoom • July 4, 2010 • My So-Called Social Life
Now that I’ve made it a mission to acquire a social life in LA, and to focus on building community, I need to decide which communities to hone in on. Here’s a list of places where I believe I will find like-minded types:
- Bike activists
- Holistic health practitioners
- Freestyle dancers
- Jews – Middle Eastern, observant, and/or progressive
- Musicians – drum circles and bands
- Entrepreneurs
- Writers
My next step is to find ongoing community groups that match my interests, then to make a point of going to those places regularly and letting the Universe take it from there. But do I go to other interesting events here and there as well, or in a place like LA, is that just a waste of my time? Stay tuned…
