    Hey all,

    I'm moving from Norcal (Santa Cruz) to Socal (Costa Mesa) in mid October.
    I'm pretty much leaving family, friends, and a few hobbies behind so looking for ways to fill in my schedule on some days down there.
    Are there any active meet ups in the OC area? Ideally make some Socal Taco connections.

    Heyoooo costa mesoooo

    let me know if you need any recs. I have two little girls so my nightlife is pretty tame these days…. But I still know my way around (self motivation talk) I also like to drink beer in my driveway/garage.

    Hellll yeah man. Glad to hear of another Tacoma world bro in Costa Mesa.
    I’m always down to have a beer in the driveway. Usually some of the best times. I’ll stay in touch for when I’m down there.

    Still got it! Was my daily driver for years but now just driven occasionally.

    OC has lots of Tacoma folks. Look up the HAT pastrami meetups. Looks like a good time to be had.

    Good beer as you make your way a bit inland and great food in the area. Welcome to socal. Bear Flag is our go-to when we get out there.
