What is a Social Adventurer?

Big Frank is the organizer of a great meetup called the Social Adventurers. It gives him and the other members in the group the opportunity to meet new people, and to interact on a very real basis with everyone. The group has been meeting for about six months now and has 65 members now! Well, not all come to the actual meetings - the one this evening only had 5, but the encounter was meaningful and amazing in many ways. Five people who had never met before come together, introduce themselves to each other, and then with some limited discussion launch into the evenings activities: role play! The group enacted role plays centering around interpersonal relationships: couples, employer/employee, and parent child. All brought up significant issues that led them to reveal personal issues about themselve, which opened the door to more discussion on those issues, and allowed everyone to really get to know each other. That is a social adventure. The photo above is of the four others beside Big Frank - real Social Adventurers. For those of you in the Spokane area interested in joining - go here and sign up. Our next meetup goes on the road - to The Blue Door Theater for comic improv, followed by refreshments and discussion!
