I'd be interested to learn what sort of demographic you come from (privacy is paramount obviously) and what sort of demographic you find at these events. I don't believe I've ever traveled in a social circle that would openly engage in something like this so I'm curious as to what one would look like.

I have all the privilege. Some events are more diverse than others. It’s rare to meet someone under 30. Events skew towards the demographic of the location in which they’re held.

I wouldn't of expected it to tend towards 30+ year old people especially in the Bay Area. Any overlap with other shall I say "cultural subgerenes" that you've noticed? Say PC Gamers or people really into sports?

I’d say that most of the people at these events are not in tech. As far as geeks vs jocks - I’d say it’s pretty much normal people. Or perhaps what’s normal for me. Perhaps slightly more hippy / burner than the average person.

I thought about it more. My definition of normal is very inclusive. There are socially awkward, social butterflies, more and less conventionally attractive, retired and middle aged, married / unmarried, all sorts of gender identity and sexual preferences at these events. There are events specifically geared towards LGBTQIA+ folks. Many events are hetero-normative and gender normative - I think that’s a function of where people feel safe and find community.
