Ask HN: Do people go to Meetups anymore?

[caspercrf]

I'm down in San Diego and the few tech meetups that I used to go to have basically dried up and haven't posted a meetup in over a year. Is this happening in other areas as well?

In a western Chicago suburb, I was going to four or five meetups a month back when I was single and had a bit more time. I still go to one pretty religiously. Most meetups I've gone to were popular enough to have venue issues. (Two of them were hosted at a restaurant that regularly had challenges seating us in adequate space.)
