It's very amusing to me that the first night I've ever gone out and hung out with people (not from work) happens in LA, of all places. I met up with a friend of a friend for dinner (I was really craving some Korean food in LA), and it was with a pretty sizable party. I got invited out to play poker with them after dinner ... so I figured, what the hell (not like I got a life to run back to in SD). Anyways, the people were really nice and cool - I should really go out and meet more people.
