Hi all

A little about me. I’m male, 36 and work as a pediatric occupational therapist living in the Fishers/Noblesville area.

My issue is since I’m a bit introverted I just focus on work and don’t have many hobbies. I’m hoping to join a hobby group or make some new friends in the area since I live alone. Any ideas or suggestions will help.

I prefer in the north side but I’m open to Indianapolis as well.

Thanks!

  • There's a great Meetup group for creative folks in the Meridian-Kessler area. Nearly everyone has a project they bring with them to work on (the place has adult coloring books available or if you have about $20, the main guy who's super nice and runs the shindig will teach you glass fusing/stained glass). There's a wide variety of creative hobbies that you can be exposed to and see if they're for you or not. I block print and work with textiles. But I've seen people painting, sculpting, making felted animals, knitting, someone even brought a small sythesizer and worked on a song... Usually about 20 people there from all age groups, cultures, and backgrounds. I highly recommend it.

    That sounds cool, what’s the name of the meetup or how do you find more info about when they meet?

  • Well what hobbies are you interested in pursuing?

    I like video games and board games. What is sim racing?

    Sim racing is video game racing. It’s a ton of fun and you sit in a car seat and use a racing steering wheel. Indy has quite a few places to play and some have leagues. You can also play online.

    There are some Meetup groups for board games. There’s one on Thursday nights at Upland on 82nd at 6:30pm every other week (not this week or next tho). Should resume 1st week of January.

  • Gonna have to give us more to work with. There are tons of opportunities in Indy.

  • The website mentioned above, Meetup, is an awesome resource for finding interest groups of any type. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for local groups to get involved with.

  • Monday Members Nites* at Fasttimes Go Karts has a nice vibe/crowd if you like to drive at a spine jarring pace.

    I'm impressed how taxing and fast their machines run.

    • members nite, $30 membership plus $50 per monday 6 - 8pm, 5 races. It takes 2 hours. People are generally talkative and gacked up on adrenaline.
