Paleo Diet and Paleolithic Diet Questions & Answers

Question

2

Im looking into creating a Paleo Primal meetup group in 90038 (LA Near hollywood), but it costs money to start the group... I've put out some feelers on Mark Sisson forums to see if people would join before i front the money.

If we can get 5-7 people here on paleo hacks to express some interest ill start the meetup group and plan some events and obviously post the link here. The closest meetup group to my area LA/Hollywood/K-Town/Silverlake/Miracle Mile) is out in culver city and not very active. Ideally I'd like to create a group with bi-weekly or monthly meetup activities that I've listed below. Idea's for more meetup activities would be appreciated :)!

Ideas: Paleo hikes (hollywood hills, santa monica mountains, etc), Paleo/Primal potlucks, crossfit classes at different gyms (just to try em out), pick up sports events (ultimate frisbee, basketball, soccer, etc) Paleo/Primal recipe exchanges, 14/21/30 day paleo/primal competitions, Farmers market/paleo meat/produce shopping tips (on a budget)..

What do yall think?

Edit 6-8-12 8AM - I'll be going to the Santa Monica Farmers Market this sunday the 10th around of June around 9:30AM if any of you would like to meet up there. Email me at ericamzalag*at*gmail*dot*com and maybe I can try to coordinate something where we can meet up there and search around for a bit.

I'm in Sherman Oaks and very interested! I'm just not sure how much meeting up I can do with a newborn. But I'm especially interested in the farmers market/food info for our area. I keep trying to join WAPF chapters, but every time I contact one they go out of commission! I'd love to belong to a good primal group here.

	Haha we all do what we can no worries. I think we can do a farmers market trip pretty easily if you and April S are interested that'd be a good place to start for me at least. I'm pretty new to buying meats (was a vegetarian for a while), and it would be nice to get out there with a buddy or two and try some new things. @PaleoDel - you have any ideas about other paleo/primal places i can post this thread or see if we can get some more interest in a group like this? BTW- Congrats on the newborn! – EricAmz Jun 7 at 21:39
	Congrats!! Hey my son is 5 months and goes with me everywhere but I know the feeling! I've pretty much had him solo the whole time (dad is in the military). – baconbittch Aug 9 at 7:06
	LOVE your name, BB! – PaleoDel Aug 10 at 6:21

I want to join a group, but I'm a little bit far (Long Beach). We had a meetup group, but it didn't have many activities and just closed last month. I would join your, but I would only be able to do activities on the weekends. I've certainly gone for some nice hikes in the Santa Monica area, and I'll be coming up north for USC football games in the fall. Also, the CrossFit games are down here in July -- don't know if anyone else is going, but we could have a lunch or dinner meetup in the Long Beach area that weekend.

I'm in! I live in K-Town. I would love to do hikes and play some ultimate and go to farmer's markets and all that! It would be really awesome if we could get enough people interested in cow-pooling too!
