A Searchles Group for On- and Off-Line Local Socializing - DC Adventures!!

Searchles groups can be utilized in many different ways - a teacher could post relevant news to a course for the students to join and follow, a group of Science junkies could create a group to post and share all their favorite Large Hadron Collider end-of-the-world updates, or you can create a group to post the links to upcoming fun events for your group of friends! Since we're local (and I'm biased since it is, in fact, my group) we're going to have a look at the DC Adventures group on Searchles! "Adventures" being loosely defined...

In my spare time I like to troll the internet for fun stuff going on in and around the DC area to check out - fall festivals, trail runs, bluegrass shows, local cabins, wine tastings, camping spots, swimming holes, Oktoberfests, the Punkin' Chunkin', demo derbies...so on and so forth. Friends and locals that join the group can get the daily updates to the new upcoming events that have been posted via Searchles Recaps that alert you to new posts in your groups. It's a great and quick way to keep tabs on things and Searchles unique search functions let you search within the group if you're trying to find a specific event - or check the tag cloud for a quick overview of what you can find.

So how about your area?? What are the upcoming riproaring-good-time events in and around Philly? Or Boston? Or Fargo? Or Tehran? The sky's the limit here - for whatever you use Searchles for most, get your GROUP on!!
