I love Meetup.com.  It provides a great low cost, low commitment way to meet people with similar interests.

There are several entrepreneurial meetups in the Vancouver area.  I plan to go to one this Thursday that a friend is speaking at.  Pls let me know if you'd like to join me.

From the Vancouver Entrepreneurs website:

It is such a special treat and an honour to have Eric Weaver with us for the last Vancouver Entrepreneur Meetup of 2009. Eric was recently awarded a Brand Leadership Award for all his work in branding over the years by the World Brand Congress.

There are people who know social media and then there are people who know social media. Eric Weaver would fall into the latter. Eric is a veteran digital strategist who has helped build some of the biggest brands in the US and abroad, including BMW, Bowflex, the Clinton Administration, De Beers, eBay, Johnson & Johnson, Kraft Foods, Lincoln, Mattel, the Mayo Clinic, Procter & Gamble (many brands), the US Dept of Commerce, and many more. He has also managed web teams for Ford, Brita, Clorox, MCI, and others, and most recently, he has provided counsel to Starbucks, UPS, Nature's Path Foods, Puget Sound Energy, Microsoft and others on their social marketing efforts.

Eric will be presenting on Social Marketing for Entrepreneur: Why Social Marketing is the New Marketing and Why You Need to Represent.

When: Thursday November 19 @ 7pm

Where: 3rd floor, 422 Richards Street

Why: If you don’t know what social media is or understand how to leverage it, you need to come

Cost: FREE (but please bring a bottle of wine or cheese to share with every one)
