Enter Hacker News. I posted an open invitation to meet with Atlanta based hackers (btw I am not a hacker) more than one year ago. Now this is when HN traffic was probably 1/7th of what it is today and surprisingly about 15-20 responded and close to 10 showed up.

When you get together for an issue (talk about hacker news, startups, etc) people have some motive for showing up. Your real friends are the ones that don't need a reason to hang out with you. :)
