In context

I love going to hobby meetups. The first thing I do is introduce myself and ask, 'What kind of hobbies do you have?' Most people are happy to talk about what they enjoy. Last week I met a big fan of photography, and I'm a big fan of painting, so we had a lot to talk about. How about you — do you go to meetups?
