About us
Welcome to the Tucson Social Introverts & Nerds Meetup Group! Looking to meet new people but are shy or quiet or socially anxious/awkward? Are you quirky or nerdy?
This group is for those looking to meet new people outside of the standard happy hour meetups. We strive to maintain a safe and welcoming environment. Some activities we will be doing are reading and book clubs, game nights, arcades, trivia, museums, botanical gardens, historical sites, reading, festivals and fairs, and other nerdy/intellectual events.
Group Rules:
- Have a visible photo of your face, so we can easily identify you at events.
- Have a full first name, not a combination of names and numbers or a random word.
- All no-shows to an event without changing RSVP to No will be removed from the group.
- Arrive within 10 minutes of the event start time. The group will not wait for you.
- Do not bring people under the age of 18.
Join us for a friendly and inclusive environment where you can connect with others and make new friends.
