    I got interested with Events & Adventures because I like the idea of getting to go do things at a discounted rate. I felt nervous but everybody was really nice at the first event. I've only been at two things and my favorite is the basketball event.

    It sounded like Events and Adventures had interesting things to do that I wasn’t able to find on my own, so I was interested in joining the club. I’ve done a lot of the bar events that they’ve had and I liked the Howl at the Moon event. Before I arrived at my first event, I didn’t know anybody. I was with the group but nobody was talking to me. Then the host came up and talked to me. He got me introduced and that helped a lot. At Events and Adventures, they are welcoming. They help break the ice and that’s what I have trouble with. The Saturday and Sunday schedules, though, seem to be focused on skiing and I don’t ski. But since joining the club I’ve been on a few dates.

    Events and Adventures was a way that I could somewhat get back on the dating scene, but have stuff pre-planned. It is a great program. The first event I went to was fine and I have attended two events so far. I enjoyed myself in the bowling social night and there was also a game night once. I have signed up for two others but I had to cancel at the last minute because of work. I have such a busy lifestyle being a medical so I have been a little skittish about signing back up because I understand not wanting to cancel at the last minute because it impairs others. It is kinda hard for people who are professionally driven to be able to cancel in a reasonable-like manner. So, I have not planned anything for at least two months but it is not out of lack of interest or the program itself. Despite that, Events and Adventures is great and I enjoy it. I recommend them to anyone who has a reasonably flexible schedule.

    I recently got a divorce, so I was looking to meet new people and I was interested in joining the Events and Adventures club. The first event that I went to was a trivia event. It was awkward when I was arriving to the event, but I I felt better upon leaving because I had met a couple of people and exchanged numbers with some friends. So far, I’ve only done two events. Aside from the trivia event, I also went go-karting and it was a lot of fun. But once my membership is up, I won’t renew because it’s pricey. Also, if they are looking for recommendations, one thing that would be amazing is if they could have an app. On the phone, the web client is horrible and I was not liking it. A bunch of people at the go-karting event said that using the website of Events and Adventures on the phone is terrible and really bad. Still, I’ve already recommended Events and Adventures to a friend.

    A friend of mine found Events & Adventures on the internet and signed me up for it, unknowingly. My first event was axe-throwing. It was exciting to do something new and outside of the box for me as far as having been recently divorced. Walking into a room of not knowing anybody was a new experience. I enjoyed the axe-throwing and I was strangely good at it.

    I’m almost 50, and Events & Adventures has a younger demographic than what I had anticipated. I was led to believe that it was 30 to 60-year-olds. Also, it’s not in my neighborhood, so it’s a lot of work to actually go to the events. I was told it was in the Chicagoland area, but it’s really like Chicago proper and the Western suburbs. Every single thing is a big commute. But that’s not the club’s fault. Had I been in charge of signing myself up, I would've chosen something in my neighborhood.

    My friend told me about Events and Adventure and it got me interested that I can find people to do stuff with. I have attended two of their events which were both hikes and I liked the event in Boulder better. However, I probably wouldn't recommend Events and Adventure because it is a little too expensive and a kind of a rip-off.

    I heard about Events and Adventures from friends and since joining, I’ve been to five events. My first was archery and the last event that I went to was a movie. I liked the axe-throwing event and it was probably my favorite. I was interested in meeting other singles and I’ve made friends a little bit but Events and Adventures is not necessary for everybody. Some events didn't have even opportunity to talk to other people because it was quick. It was over and done with and everybody left.

    My daughter told me about Events and Adventures and I was interested in meeting more single people. Right away after joining, I went to about four events. I went to a dinner, a dance, an arcade and a pool game which was my favorite. I stopped going, though, because the format is not very conducive to how I like to do things. Events and Adventures told me that they do 30 events a month which they do but they fill up right away and then I’m put on a wait list. What people do is they create and sign up for everything and if I don't do that, then I’m put on a wait list. Being on a wait list, I don't know if I should keep that even in open or not. So, I would end up pulling myself off a wait list because I'd rather make plans. Now, I'm wishing I wouldn't have paid for it. I paid two years in advance for $2500 and I'm stuck.

    I recently divorced and a friend said that she joined Events & Adventures a few months earlier. She said everybody was over 50 which was my demographic. But I was shocked upon arriving at my first event which was a walk around the park. Everybody was under 30 with an exception of three other women who were about my age. One of these women joined Events & Adventures a couple of months before me and she said that the demographic was horrible. She wasn't gonna meet anybody there.

    I'm enjoying the events and I attended six events. After the first several events though, I knew that I wasn't gonna meet anybody. I'm just going to the events to find joy. There have been a couple of older guys but they should shower before they come. I'm glad that I only have a six-month membership. On the whole, I'm a little disappointed because when I was having my little interview to join, the fellow was saying that there were lots of people my age. I should've had him clarify about the women my age. I would not be recommending Events and Adventures to any of my friends who are my age.

    Also, I like to do volunteer work and I had one volunteer session at the Salvation Army downtown which was great. I think Events and Adventures should do that on a monthly regular basis. It just seems so self-involved to be doing all these other things when the Salvation Army desperately needs help. The experience was really enjoyable and they did a tour afterward.

    I was interested in meeting other single people since I lost my husband. All my friends are married and I'm a retired teacher. I've enjoyed my experience with Events & Adventures so far, although I just can't do a lot during the week. If I work, it is too hard for me. I just work on the side. Some days I work and some days I don't, so it would be nice if they had some things during the day. It would have a bit of a crowd. I was okay with my first event with Events & Adventures. It was the first-timers and it was rather noisy. I met a lot of people and it was kinda overwhelming. I'm going to places that I would never go on my own and places I didn't even know existed in Houston.

    I've been to the Wolf Sanctuary to volunteer and I've also been to the St. Patrick's Day party. I've been on a hike and at the trivia night. I went to a cycle class and it was fun, as well as the game night out in the garage where they had a certain game they played. I've attended less than 10 events and trips so far and my favorite was the game night. I like a smaller crowd, it is not so noisy. I've also done Bingo and I loved that. It was fun.

    I've met some girls and I tried to meet with them again, but they were not around. I met one girl this past time and I really liked her. We went to Griglia, the Italian restaurant, but it was full. She had invited a friend that is not a member and we kinda crashed the party. We got our own table and our reservation. I like them and we are supposed to try to meet once a month. I've met friends but not anybody I'm doing outside of the E&A except for that lady. I also met a guy that I'm texting back and forth with.

I was looking to utilize Events and Adventures as a stepping stone to build some connection throughout the Chicago land area. I was a little nervous at my first event but I've already been to 3 events now. I really enjoyed the pottery class last week. I wasn’t very effective at it, but it was nice to try something new. I also went to a dinner and to a wallyball game. I've got a couple of things next week as well. I live far out so it takes a little bit of time to get everywhere and I wanted to make sure that it was gonna be worth the amount of money that I'm paying for. And so far, it's been good.

    I like to travel around and try to meet new people. I joined Events and Adventures and I felt awkward attending my first event but I got the feel of it after a couple of the events. Sometimes I feel awkward in some of these things, but I worked it out. I met a couple of guy friends and I've done two things with a couple of them. There are also others from some of the other things and we're going out in a couple of days, but nothing’s really clicked. I've already attended more than 30 events and I would like to join the trips but some of them are just out of my price range. My favorite event so far is the glassblowing. Last night was game night where people brought their own board games at this one place and they sat around and played. I won three times last night, so I was happy.

    I’ve been divorced for three years and I don’t have that many single friends. I had friends that told me about Events and Adventures. It was a way to increase my circle of single friends. I was very scared and apprehensive at my first event. I didn’t know what it was gonna be like to walk up to a group that I didn’t know. But the event was wonderful because as soon as I walked up and saw everyone, one smiled and greeted me. The host made sure that I felt welcomed, so it was great.

    There was a new member icebreaker where all the new members got together. Then after that, we had a games night, and it was the new members and some existing members came. That was a way to get all of the newbies acclimated and meet other people that just started. I’ve attended about five events and I’ve seen people multiple times and I’m starting to learn names. Overall, Events and Adventures is a great thing. I’ve really been enjoying it and I’m really glad that I joined.

    I was new to Chicago and I didn’t know a whole lot of people. I worked in the building industry and I had no interest in hanging out for contractors every evening. My first event with Events and Adventures went fine. And I’ve attended about 10 of their events. They’re big into meeting in the parks that don’t cost anything, and that depends on who they’re appealing to. There was also drinking in these events. But I don’t go drinking with anybody and I don’t need a professional organization to arrange a drink.

    I lived in Chicago in the past and there was a group back then who paid people to do their job. But with E & A, it seems to be almost driven by the volunteers. They want to charge money, but they go on the cheap. Chicago has a healthy theatre in our city, but I don’t see a whole lot of events going to the theatre. It could be an Off-Broadway. It doesn’t have to be the Goodman Theatre and it doesn’t have to be a $135 a night tickets. There's a lot of smaller productions that they can research. Plus it goes back to the fact that they don’t have people to lead.

    In the winter months of November to March, the events are going out for dinner either every other Friday or every other Saturdays. Chicago is a great city for food and it’s cold, and there isn't a lot to do outside. They don't have activities outside because somebody doesn’t wanna do that sort of stuff and they’re cheap and lazy from that perspective. They could definitely be doing stuff that they wouldn't want to.

    Looking at Events and Adventures, I initially liked the events thing and the planning that they did for you. I have a big group of friends but none of them really seem to have this common interest. I could never get a party together to go and do the same thing. But with Events and Adventures, I was gonna meet people of similar interest and make new friends. For my first event, being nervous was a natural feeling. You show up by yourself and you don’t know anybody. But when I got there, the icebreaker thing was wonderful and it really did its job.

    I've done a handful of events so far. I met a lot of people who I get together and hang out with on nights. My membership is coming up soon and I haven’t really decided if I’m gonna sign up again for another membership or let it expire. It's just a money thing for me right now. Of the events I've been to, I love the water rafting. I had never done that before. I couldn’t get a group of friends to go, so I was like, “Let’s go water rafting with a bunch of strangers.” And it was so much fun. But there were a couple of things that I paid for that I was disappointed with. It wasn't a whole lot, though. Also, I talk about the group at Events and Adventures to all of my friends all the time and they were starting to miss me. Some of my friends are single and I tell them to come and join me.

    I like to be active and outdoors and Events & Adventures sounded like it would be a great way to meet new people. I was nervous about going to my first event but it was very comfortable after I got there. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming and wanted to get to know you. So it was really easy to get to know people and start to make connections.

    I have gone to about five or six events and I really enjoyed the dancing lessons that they've done. Those have been a lot of fun. I also enjoy the ones where I get to interact with people a little bit more than just drinking and socializing and the card games and stuff like that. So far, it has been good. It has just been a matter of finding activities I'm interested in that works with my schedule. But they have a lot. Somebody who's considering joining needs to be willing to put themselves out there to get the most out of it versus just being passive and letting it happen. You kinda have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone.

There’s also an event coming up that involves a trampoline, but I’m not quite sure if I wanna do that. I’m not allowed to drive because I’m blind, I’m not allowed to walk because I have no balance, and I’m definitely not allowed to ride a bicycle because I have no depth perception.

    My objective with Events and Adventures was to rebuild my social circle and discover what was fun going on around. The first time was a little bit low-key, probably not my kind of event. But I had to try a different kind of event to see what I like, what I didn’t like and what kind of group that I like to be around and not. The fact that there are so many different groups makes it easier to find the proper group for you.

    I like all the outside events, like trekking. I’ve discovered a certain event and I became very close to one of the hosts, and that made me discover a lot of things I didn’t know. The latest one was the Mardi Gras Valentine’s event and that was amazing. There was a social dance at the end of last month, and we have gone to see a hockey game which I haven’t done in ages. The Trivia one was something I’ve never done before and I'd never even thought about doing it, but the host convinced me to try it out. I also met someone that I fell in love with which was not the objective of joining. I wanted to just build my social circle, but it happened so I’m really happy. I'm even thinking of putting my name to become a host.

    I was most interested in the social aspect of the Events and Adventures club. before arriving at my first event, I was looking forward and eager, but after I left it I wasn't feeling wonderful nor distraught but just normal. To date, I have attended four events. Usually, I participated in engaged and movement-type activities. My first event had volleyball in a beach setting and there was a lot of movement. Other events that I attended were the roller-skating event and some alcohol tasting events. Of all the events that I attended, the one that I liked best was the one where there was a murder mystery. That was fantastic. There are some events that I have wait-listed for but that I haven’t been approved for. I've made one new friend that I speak to semi-regularly, but other than that I just see familiar faces.

    I was fortunate that I had enough in my bank account and I could pay for the lump sum that goes along with membership, whereas if you’re paying month-to-month, you’re given a monthly fee on top of the membership cost. But with that membership, I’m not necessarily getting a good deal on events that I'm having to pay for. There are some free events, but the pricing is too high for a number of these events, and that has discouraged me from wanting to go to some events. So, I’m paying for the monthly cost but I’m not getting a reduced price on the majority of events.

    Events & Adventures does some activities or travel and be with other singles and it's less stress than trying to meet somebody from the internet. I've taken one trip and seven events so far. I've gone to a party or maybe a brewery tour and I've done a couple of activities where it's like volleyball. I've made a couple of social connections, mostly friends, and we meet up and stuff for dinner. But Events & Adventures could do a little bit more communication, especially with the newer members. They walk in to like a party or event and it's the same group that has known each other for a long time and it's kinda hard.

    I'm new in Houston and I wanted to meet people. I signed up with Events and Adventures and everybody has been very inclusive and sociable. I liked it when we interacted in a sporting event, Archery Tag, wherein we engaged with a lot of people together. I also liked the volleyball event we had. Additionally, I get together at night and have fun with the people whom I've met through Events and Adventures. Everybody has been very outgoing and talkative.

    I just moved here, so I was trying to meet some new people. Before arriving at my first event with Events & Adventures, I was a little nervous as anybody would be just meeting a bunch of new people, but it went really well. I just reached out, and they welcomed me so that was pretty good. I have met some friends too. I've been to eight to 10 events and I really enjoyed the Poker Night. And then I also enjoyed Super Bowl Night. Those were the two really fun ones. I really enjoyed the volleyball as well.

    I heard about Events and Adventures and I was looking online for it when I was in Phoenix. Then, I realized that it was here as well and this is my home base. I like going out on the activities and that interested me most about the club. I have attended three events but the cooking class was my favorite. However, I didn’t care much for the jazz bands in a nightclub. Also, I was led to believe that it was a mix of ages. But it’s 80% 30 and under, and I’m 60. I don’t mind going to the events, but I’m not thinking I’m gonna meet anybody there either.

    I was interested in getting out, meeting people and doing fun activities. I have done seven events with Events and Adventures. I’ve done two WhirlyBalls, a poker night, brunch on New Year’s Day, trivia, arcades, and sights. I've liked them all, with the trivia being my favorite. But there’s no mingling at the events. I don’t seem to get a chance to talk to a whole lot of people because they all either break up into their own groups or everybody is shy. I was hoping to make a connection, but that hasn’t happened yet.

    I am single and I’m older. I didn't wanna get on the airplane and fly across continents by myself. I like the thought that there’s gonna be a group of some people I’m gonna know and there’s probably people I’m not gonna know but at least I won’t be totally out there and be by myself. Also, I wanted to get out, socialize, and just not stay in all the time. And I didn’t wanna be on a dating site. I’ve heard horror stories from my friend and I didn’t wanna get involved with that. Events and Adventures is way is a good way to do it, so I joined. Aside from that, I liked the social events that they offered.

    I signed up in February and the next week, I attended my first event with them. I went to a charity and I felt comfortable there. I talked to the people that were there and it was really nice. I also asked them a few questions and about how long they’ve been a member. On the following Tuesday, I went to an event again. It was supposed to be a five-dollar night, but they were going through a transition on the person that was handling the scheduling, so whoever it was that was filling in just picked the movie. And it was not a five-dollar movie. We went to see Glass but that was okay because I wanted to see the movie anyway. I enjoyed both events that I went to but after the second one, I got sick so I didn’t go anywhere for a while.

    But we’ll have a company trip that we’re going on in April. We’re going on a cruise to Cozumel and those who are married can take their spouses while the others are taking their friends. At Events and Adventures, I’m recognizing some of the same people who showed up at both the events that I went to. Though there were some new ones that were at the show that I had not seen before. I’ve also made a few friends but not a significant other. I didn’t join to find one.

But I really wish there was more of an older group because it seems like in every event that I went to, the people have all been 25 to 30-year olds, and I'm up in my 50’s. So, I was looking more forward to meeting more people in my age than the young age. Other than that, I highly recommend Events and Adventures for all age groups.

Before my first event, I was very nervous. But then, when I got there, everyone was so welcoming and the hosts were amazing. They made me feel very comfortable. Since, then my favorite event has been their Super Bowl Party which was a lot of fun. I've also done trivia and the happy hour. I've made so many girlfriends along the way.

    I first heard about Events and Adventures on the radio and I got intrigued about the message that they were putting out there, just not going into a bar, but a different environment to meet new people. I had really no expectation when I went to my first event, the roller skating. I just wanted to see what it was and I just showed up. There were a few people and it wasn’t as organized as I thought it would be. I met the coordinator, but other than that, I didn’t know who was part of the event and who wasn’t because a large number of people were there roller skating. I've attended three events so far and the game night was my favorite, it was fun. The hiking was fun too although it was a little short. I thought they shortened it because in the past events, they had people that couldn’t keep up.

    I've made a few folks at the events and they have a melting pot of different types of people. They have very shy and they have very outgoing, it’s just very different than what I’m used to. I wish Events and Adventures would have more diverse events. That would be good. There seems to be a lot of repeating stuff like the volleyball. One thing I noticed is there’s a lot of cliques within the group. The people that have been doing this for a while kinda segregated themselves into little groups for over two years kind of thing. Still, I recommend Events and Adventures.

    Events and Adventures has a variety of activities. I went to my first event and then I didn’t do many more until recently because I felt like the demographics weren’t well represented. I’m an older member and the majority of the members were much younger. I asked about that and I don’t think that was quite handled truthfully. So, I was a little frustrated with the first few events. I’m in the suburbs, so the event has to be unique or at least something I have not done to get me to come into the city.

    I’m trying to at least make the most now of the membership. I’ve realized that these are the demographics and it’s not gonna change. There are some very nice people but I haven’t made any friends per se, but that’s fine. I’ve lowered my expectations in regards to people and just done the activities for what they are. They had a play last month. It was a very good opportunity and that was a nice surprise. I’m going to an event tonight in Chicago. I’m doing a work meeting first in a little while, and then I’ll go off to the dinner and dancing after work.

    Events and Adventures was advertised quite a bit like around New Year’s. I heard them on the radio saying, “Do things you enjoy doing and meet people while you’re at it.” I joined Events and Adventures about a month ago. But I didn’t realize that it was a singles only kind of group and that they interviewed you. I just thought it was another meetup group. I am actually in some other meetup groups that are just free. But I’ve been doing more of the Events and Adventures because it’s costing me money. It’s not really a dating group. But it is kind of for singles to meet other people which is good.

    I like that Events and Adventures has an age range because a lot of the meetup groups that I joined were younger. I’m 53 so it’s kinda hard to meet people my age, especially since people my age and older are usually not as active and they don’t like to socialize as much. But I enjoy going out, going to restaurants or movies, or just doing things. I’ve been trying to get more active physically so I’ve been doing the kickball and volleyball activities. Those were nice.

    There are a lot of nice people that I’ve met through Events and Adventures and I’ve been seeing a few of the people. Some are the same people at some of the events. Some of them friended me on Facebook. Events and Adventures also offers a good variety of different events and they are in different areas of the city. I’ve mostly been trying to do some that are close to me other than the Gilbert area. I’ve gone to quite a few. I signed up for two events, but I had to cancel because I had to go out of town. I was gone all of last week.

    But one thing is that Events and Adventures is very pricey. You have to pay the event fees on top of your membership fee. It is a strain financially because I’m a single parent and I work full-time. Other than that, I appreciate the fact that they offer a lot of different events which I know cost money to get those deals. I also appreciate the fact that they kind of vet out their members. They make sure that they are committed and interested, don’t have a record, and have a stable job.

    Another things is maybe there could be more weekend stuff. For people that work full-time, it’s kind of hard to do stuff during the week. They could also try to schedule earlier events because a lot of the events are at 7 or 8 o’clock at night. If you have to drive far, by the time you get home, it’s already 10 o’clock and this is on a weeknight. I would also like the more festival type of things or going as a group to things such as an art festival, music festival, food festival and those type of things. Those are fun.

    Events & Adventures is interesting to me because I like the concept of meeting people through events and not through online dating. I find it better and I've met new people. I was a bit stressed though at my first event, the New Year's event, because I didn’t know how it will go. But I got welcomed by one of the organizers and in the end, it was good. But it could have been improved if the organizers focus more on introducing the new people. I’ve only been able to attend two events and my favorite is the icebreaker. It was better because I could really talk and meet the new people who were there, so the objective was achieved. I’m a bit unclear, however, on how the payment works. I put a downpayment on but I don’t recall if I’m going to receive reminders on a monthly basis to tell me how much I have to pay or if it’s being directly deducted from my account. It’s not an area of concern but I want to double check that I’m also fine with my payment.

I thought I’d give Events & Adventures a shot to see what there is to do outside of the regular activities that I know to do in Arizona and hopefully start making some new friends to enjoy myself more here. I’ve done the mini golf, the Coyotes Hockey game, and a morning hike. All three were a lot of fun. I like getting out and I like hiking. I can’t stand golf, but I love mini golf. So far, I've made friends with two guys who were at the hockey game and the hiking event. There’s an icebreakers meeting and I thought I would go to that to meet some people and maybe discuss more about the club. I’m also doing another hockey game next week. I’m also signed up for an Archery Tag event, which I found interesting.

    I’m really open to every kind of event they’ve got, except now, it falls with my work schedule. One of these times, I would really like to see about one of these trips that they’re doing around the world and try to do one of those.

    I was looking for ways to connect with other people of like mind and a counselor told me about Events & Adventures. I’ve been with the company for about two and a half years now and I’ve gotten quite a few friends that I’m connected with it --- at least nine or 10 that I see on a regular basis. I usually go to the events at the clubhouse but I’ve gone to a few events outside and I keep an eye out for anything that really interests me. I’m going on my first trip in April to Machu Picchu. If Events & Adventures fits your budget, I’d definitely recommend it.

    I heard about Events & Adventures through a friend and what interested me about it was meeting new people. I was a bit nervous on my first event, but it changed after I arrived. I have attended around 50 events and trips so far and the flying trapeze event is my favorite. I'm signed up for the Alaskan trip and I'm also signed up for the ice climbing event for next month, which I'm pretty excited about. I've also participated in Whirlyball, bowling, glassblowing, and ax throwing, and the trip to Wildman was a lot of fun. I also made a lot of friends on Events and Adventures.

    Events and Adventures is very expensive, but it's fun. You just have to make sure you are getting the refunds you are supposed to get because I've had to call multiple times for getting money back when I should have but never did. The one thing that I have had issues with is the calendar when it shows that an event is full even after you've canceled. I don't understand why you'd still get charged for it. It says online that it's still full, then they say, "Well, you can't go by that." That should be updated if that's an issue with it not being correct. I lost out on 120 bucks two months ago because I had to cancel on a couple of events last minute, but they still said full, days after I canceled, so I was not very happy about that part.

    I was interested in having things to do because I get so wrapped up in my busy life that I don’t give time out for myself. I've been to two events by Events and Adventures. The events are like projects and it's something of interest if I need someone or not. Unfortunately, with the age group, there are mostly women and there aren’t any men that we can meet so that makes it a little more difficult. I was told there would be more people my age involved but in the first event I went to, there was no one my age. They were all my children’s age. I like hanging out with the kids, but that’s not what I signed up for. Other than that, people have been friendly.

I looked forward to the first event I joined and the people were nice enough, but nothing sparked me greatly. Events and Adventures are for people that find it harder to go out and meet people. I find more friends going out on my own than I do going to the events.

    I've been in a parenting role since I was 19, so I got interested in the opportunities to have a short burst of adrenaline type of fun. I thought some of the things that Events & Adventures advertised would be cool, so as soon as I finalized my divorce, I went in the next day to sign up. I made my introduction into E&A, but it was a bit disappointing because of the system that they are using. There is not much information on their website. Walking in their office, their staff is super friendly, but when they go over the prices and they have pencil and paper and they are drawing up the chart, it feels about 20 or 30 years behind the time. I wish they would eventually change a little to create transparency or at least be a bit more efficient about their own technology.

    As far as the event, the host did a good job with it and overall, they try to have a nice diversity and try to please everyone, although the biggest challenge that I have with them is that the events tend to fill up extremely quickly. They publish a calendar once a month for the next month and from there, they send a text saying, "Okay. You can now sign up." However, if you are unable to attend the events, you have to let them know at least a week prior or you potentially lose the money on it. As a single dad with two kids, it is rare that I can even attend the events. It tends to be, at best, once a month and there have been several ones I've had to cancel, so there has not been a lot of bang for my buck as far as that goes.

    I was able to attend eight events and the hang gliding was a lot of fun and cool. When you have memorable events that you wanna do, you wanna be able to share them with meaningful people in your life, so you can look back on them and hope that you'd meet someone. From an idealistic standpoint, it's great, but for the most part, the best way I can look at it is it would be fun to do but really hard to schedule if you are just one person. There are some people out there that have had a little more success with the events. For the most part, most of them are kid-free, and it makes sense. I've had a few connections here and there, but I bought a lifelong membership, so I'm not in any rush to make friends. I would recommend Events & Adventures for certain people that have very little obligations and financially can afford to do that stuff, but from a single parent perspective, I would not recommend it to any single parent.

    You can do their scheduling stuff from a mobile site, but they don't have a way to export to Google calendar from a desktop. You can also do it to Outlook, but most people aren't using that nowadays. A Google calendar export is so easy to do nowadays, but trying to even view the schedule is really challenging and cumbersome. It would be easy to find a web developer that would make the user experience a lot easier to do. That is a small investment that would make a bigger difference to everyone.

I’ve been in the club since 2017, and I've been to about 100 events. Some of my best friends are from E and A now. I also dated someone for 15 months but we broke up unfortunately. Other than that, I've really enjoyed more of the events for adrenaline junkies. The trapeze was really fun and I really enjoyed sky diving. When I don’t have something to do in the evening and I want to do something, having E and A is a great way to be able to at least look at a calendar to say yes or no. So that’s been nice.

    I just moved to Minnesota and I'm a little too old to go to bars and meet people. Events & Adventures sounded like an interesting way to meet people and a nice social, so I went online and checked on them a little bit. Then, they contacted me and conducted an interview, and I decided to give it a try. I felt a little nervous arriving at my first event, but Events & Adventures made it comfortable. They made me feel really nice and welcome and I never felt any problem with that.

    No matter what you like, you're gonna find something that interests you with E&A. I've been on trips with them. I went to Vegas and to New Orleans, and I'm going to Alaska soon. When we went to Vegas, we were on the Strip and the experience was nice. E&A has a good combination of both events and adventures. I like the adventure part and I went skydiving a few times which is my number one favorite. I have gone hand-gliding and dog sledding, too. Then, there are the events which are more socialized stuff like mingling in restaurants and bars. I have been on all kinds of events and I will be doing the New Year one. Since joining E&A, I've made some new friends. I'm just happy that I did it and personally, it was a good thing to do. I do stuff with them that I wouldn't do otherwise or I wouldn't do on my own.

    Events and Adventures was a way to meet people who were single and wanna go out and do stuff. I was a bit apprehensive on my first event and I was a bit worried about the demographic of people that I saw. They put you in the club pretty quickly and in three days, you’re locked in. I started in the beginning of November and I’ve attended 5 events. Most of them are local to the city. I was in bowling in bocce, dominoes and the coolest one was the charity event I went to last week. I’ve made new friends and that’s good. However, they should make the events to cast a little wider. It seems like the same members go to the events that I have seen but if you go to an event where there are other people, there’s a chance to mingle with others.

    I’ve gone camping and to the clubs with Events and Adventures. However, I haven't taken any of the trips yet as I find that they're a little more expensive than what I wanna spend. I thought that because we have a group of people, things would be less expensive. Instead, sometimes it seems that things are more expensive and we’re not getting discounts. I’d love this trip that they’re going on to New Orleans, Louisiana. But there’s no flight involved and it’s $1,400 for about three days. It seems like an awful lot. I was also gonna go to the Brazilian Steakhouse and because not enough people signed up, it went from 42 to 52. 42 was pushing it and I’m not gonna pay $52.

    I like country dancing and I like it when we go out to the Wild West. I've also gotten a couple of friends. I had one friend, but she’d gotten in a relationship and then I was in a relationship for a while with one of the guys I met. I’m older and it’s kinda hard because most of the people are younger so it’d be nice if the activities would gear towards more older people. It also seems like every Monday and Tuesday they do the same things, such as the volleyball or the wallyball type stuff and it’s hard for me to be involved in those. Events and Adventures should also sometimes be a little more organized about some stuff. We went to a dance thing last few weeks ago and there were only two tables and a few chairs, so not everybody had a place to sit down. Other than that, I always tell everybody that Events and Adventures is fun and I encourage them to go. I really enjoy it and the more people that are there, the more it's fun.

    We have a radio station here in Houston and Events and Adventures has an ad on there, and it was mentioned a few times. I checked out the site and saw some of the reviews from what seemed like current members 'cause they were pretty recent. One of the big things was the skydiving stuff, so it was a more adventurous kind of things. But a big part of it I saw was that somebody said Events was a comfortable, organic way to meet people, and that's very true.

    Each event got its own group or type of person that would show up to it, so I experienced all kinds of different things and made all kinds of different friends that I probably would have never made had I not been in the group. I attended 25 events and on my first one, I went to an open mic night at the House of Blues where we had dinner and I got to check out the performers there. It was very fun and casual. That would always be one of my favorites 'cause it was my first impression. Then when we went to this VR video game place, we broke up into teams and worked as a team. It was some competition against each other to complete the main objective, so it was kinda fun.

    The event manager, Reid, is awesome. He's always available if we ever have questions like through Facebook, in anything, whether it's stuff on our contract or suggesting future events or questions about an event like minutes before it's going on. He's always Johnny-on-the-spot. I have already gotten a coworker in the group for Events and Adventures.

    I got interested to Events and Adventures because the events were already set up and I don't have to plan anything. My first event with them was a comedy club and I was nervous before arriving, but that changed after I got there. The most recent one, their Halloween party, was my favorite. It was a pretty large turnout, so I got to see more people than I would typically see if I just attended one event a month and that was kinda nice. I also did the luau that they had and went to their river trip, the salt river and the tubing activities.

    I've attended one event a month in the last 12 months partly because they're so far. A lot of them seem to be in Glendale or Scottsdale and I just kinda wish that Events and Adventures would do more events on the east side of the valley. They did give me a discount for travelling, but it's still inconvenient when things start at 5 o'clock and I gotta get across two hours of traffic. Also, the only other thing that deters people when I tell them about Events and Adventures is the overall cost of joining. But so far, I've made a few girl and guy friends since I joined the club.

    I heard about Events and Adventures on the radio a couple of times and never really gave it much thought. Then my sister heard on the radio and encouraged me to do it 'cause I graduated last year, I've been working full time and not really doing anything. I’ve always been talking for the last couple of years of wanting to get out, meet new people, and try new things and stuff, and thought it would be the perfect opportunity for me to do both.

    I've only been for a little less than a month and I attended about eight events so far. I was nervous on my first event as I'm not the most confident in situation with new people, but the hosts were really friendly, talkative, funny, and they got me feeling more comfortable right away. Then other people started showing up, and the first guy that I went to was with the new member seminar and then bowling. So, most everybody else that showed up right away was their first event and it was a little easier everybody else being around the same comfortability.

    I really liked the virtual reality simulation place, that was great. The first experience I've ever had that stuff and I've always been interested in that. I also liked the dodgeball trampoline, it was so much fun. I've almost never done trampoline, so I got to play dodgeball as an adult from that. It was just a great time. I've made a couple of new friends that I've talked to a little bit and have seen at a couple different events.

    I needed to start building adult relationships, friendships, and building balance back in my life because I became obsessive over working all the time to the point that I basically had no time and I was not having fun. I couldn't even hold a civil conversation with an adult, because I work as a TA. Things got to me, and I knew I needed to do something. So I went online and I signed up with Events & Adventures. I went down and met Dan and he told me all about the things and I said I would give it a go. I was okay for the first event because I'm very outgoing and very bubbly. I was more nervous going to meet Dan. I was like, "What am I getting myself into?" This is not safe. So I was like, "Okay, just go with it, just see what happens."

    My favorite event so far would be archery. It was really fun. Also, I did the meet and greet, a Christmas movie, and the blanket drive. Then, I'm looking up and signing up on a couple of other ones and I've already booked for New Year's. I've connected with a couple of people and I've seen them when we've talked. It's getting out there and knowing people right now. So, I have a couple of numbers, and everyone's like, "Let me know." I also offered to pick up one of the members as well because I don't drink.

    I find some of the times on some of the things may be too early to get to and that's a little bit of a struggle. I've talked with one of the people who said it's really hard treading rush hour traffic when you get off work at three or four and have to be somewhere at five. Other than that, I've already started telling certain people about it. They said I seem like I'm having fun and I said yes. I meet these people and I don't even know what I'm doing. It's fun.

    The biggest idea about Events and Adventures is that you get out there and do stuff. It's nice to have the people in it be single but it was less of that. What interests me the most is the events and adventures part of the club. However, Events and Adventures hasn't invested more money into the technology used. We have to do everything through a website and it looks like it was designed in the late 90s. Maybe I'm a little bit biased because I'm a software engineer but that's definitely an important thing for this generation. Events and Adventures needs to join the year that we're in and get a mobile app and a web application from this decade going.

    Nonetheless, I've joined four big trips so far and an average of three events a month. We've gone to various different activities like WhirlyBall or arcade game and going out for dinner around the world. It's usually a good time. On a regular basis, my favorite event is the volleyball. Then as far as trips, my favorite is the whitewater rafting in the fall. I've found a couple of friends too.

For the things I did, it was nice, but I don't go to the events anymore. Every month, I pay for the $108 membership fee and I don't even use it because I can't afford to go to the events. I'm losing more money than I would like, but there's nothing I can do about it until I can come up with $400 to cancel.

    I wanted to get out and do things, and although I was a little nervous the first time I went to an event, the people there were great. It's now close to two weeks that I've been with Events and Adventures and I've been in about six events. I've made some friends and my experience has been good so far.

    The first event I went to didn’t start out very well. The event was closed down and I was wandering around. I ended up thinking I got there too early and I went to a bar next door. I happened to run into some other people who were also going to that same event. We got together and made the best of it. We sorta made our own event and it turned out all right. That aside, I've been to about a half dozen or so events with Events & Adventures. The movie previews are probably the most popular ones and I've been to those the most. There was also a Christmas light event that we went to in downtown Seattle. It wasn’t great but that was all right. Also, I did find someone for a little while and we went out for a few weeks.

    I wanted to make new friends and get out of my apartment but I didn't know many people here in Denver. Also, I’m in school, so I didn’t have a ton of social time either. I wanted to make the most of the time I do have and Events and Adventures sounded like a lot of fun. I was really nervous for my first event because I am not an outgoing person, so joining and going to these things are very out of my comfort zone but it became a little easier since I started. It’s still a little weird for me though.

    We’ve done a lot of board game nights which I found really fun. We also did an escape room once, which was the first time that I had ever done one and I’ve been wanting to do one forever, so that was really fun. It was the most memorable event, so far. I was a little concerned about how much Events and Adventures costs at first but I definitely think that it’s worth it and I’m really glad I joined.

    I had been divorced for a while and I was looking to meet some new people and make some new friends, so I signed up with Events & Adventures. I was a bit nervous during the first event but everyone was really open and friendly. Everyone introduced themselves and the event went really well. Of all the events I've been to, the Halloween party was my favorite. Their long-distance trips are a bit costly but I'd join them eventually if I get the money. So far, we have not been seeing outside of the club, but I'm definitely getting to know people more. Those who were having a hard time or more afraid because it’s hard now especially with dating and everything, I would tell them to join Events & Adventures. It’d be nice though if there was a bit more events that were included in the membership. Apparently, you have to pay extra on top of the membership in a lot of the events which can be a bit costly. Nonetheless, it has been a good experience.

    I was looking for a kickball team and Events & Adventures came up afterwards and I thought it was cool. All the travel and different varieties of events, ages and personalities interest me. I was mostly excited during the first event and once I walked in, everybody was really nice and asked me if I was new. I said yes and had no problem introducing myself. There was a live band, so it was really hard to talk to people. It was not the best environment to meet somebody but it was great. There were a lot of people there and then I went to another event two days later.

    All the events are really fun. I really enjoyed a lot of them. I have not been disappointed in anything. There are great people and I had no problem making connections. I also love the fact that I was able to get the extra eight months added on. That was just fantastic. That made it very well worth it for me especially because I was not always able to do stuff.

    I had always been kind of curious and interested about joining Events & Adventures but hadn’t been in the place where it made sense. But recently, it made sense for me. I was excited that I was able to go at my first event and found out new things to do. People live in a town and they never know about the things available and I've definitely found out things that are happening that I never knew about.

    My first event was supposed to be a bonfire at the beach but there was some weather issue, so we went to a barn. It was a meet and greet for new people. The Borealis event was one of my favorite ones. It was a unique experience and I had no clue that was a thing that ever happened. I also went on some hikes. I'm planning on doing some kind of trips. I had a question on whether or not I could go to other cities and I did. I went to San Francisco and did some events there. I was not really looking for a guy friend but I've talked to a few girls, so it's been productive for me.

    My biggest feedback is that there's this Antarctica trip that's supposed to be happening next year, and then they have the Alaska Cruise. Those things are completely sold out like months and months in advance. Obviously, it's something people want to do, and it's apparently not just for a city. There are 12 cities so they're open to all the cities. They should keep those to maybe a couple of city pairs because they're just way too competitive to get in, and that's kind of the reason why I joined was to be able to do stuff like go take a vacation in Antarctica or go take a cruise to Alaska.

    I also had numerous events that just didn’t happen that were supposed to happen. So for instance, that Borealis one, the host didn’t even show up at all. So, I just wound up finding some random person who happened to be part of the Events & Adventures. I just walked around with them during that. We were supposed to have some costume display thing for Halloween, and that wound up being after the planned Halloween party. They did that planning very poorly, and they cancelled that event altogether.

    There have been numerous cancelled events that I'm not happy with and not being able to go on these trips, to me, that's also a cancelled event because there's not enough room for people who are interested. I know somebody else who said it wasn’t what they expected and wound up going on their little leave of absence. So I'm somewhat satisfied but there are things that can be improved.

    I like the fact that Events & Adventures procures all the events and I really wouldn't have to do much but sign up. I was excited for my first event and by now, I've done about 20. I did the meet-and-greet party last year then there was an art walk, happy hours and a free movie. I particularly like the movie screeners. I’ve been to about five of those. But I haven't done any of the trips. It's not because I am not interested in them but they tend to be a little bit more expensive than I would like to spend. I feel like I can do the trips on my own for significantly less. I get the trade off in terms of the planning and the group aspect of it. But I think that they could do some of the trips in a more cost effective way and that would be a little bit more appealing to a bigger group of people. But then, it didn't seem like they had challenges filling the spot so maybe it works for them.

    I've gone on, technically, one date but nothing came of it. I've met people but there has been nobody that I keep in contact with on a regular basis. The people that I’ve met in different events have also been inconsistent. It's an eclectic crowd and that's not necessarily a bad thing. But I have a hard time finding people that I would connect with. I know Events & Adventures doesn't get profiles and I understand that. But maybe there's a way they could potentially assign a personality to an event such that a person can get a better understanding of what to expect at the event or from the people at the event.

    I've been hearing about Events & Adventures ever since I was 18 and when I was around 20, I always wanted to join. I moved to a new state and got involved, and I liked it well. I've been in it for a year and I have made acquaintances. I have dated three people, although they were not successful. I was also looking for a best friend, but the opportunity didn’t arise. I've been to the outdoor bar, bowling, and multi-day events. I liked the scavenger hunt events or the ones where you are tossed to be in a group, but the game nights is, by far, my favorite. It’s like college again where you go back in time and hang out with good people. You feel like you’re in the know with everybody and you want to feel wanted. You are gonna catch up with everybody that you may have not seen for a really long time. That is what I was looking for and why I was joining, and it was really nice.

    However, I heard there would be a younger crowd and I was hoping for it, but when I got to know more of the people and the event staff, there was a mixture of people. That also made it fun. I joined for friends and I happened to run across a few dates here and there. They were all great and were doing their job. My friends will probably ask if Events & Adventures is a singles club or if it is for swingers, and I will tell them that it is for other groups of people that just wanna get down to whatever their business is. I’d recommend it to a friend.

I’ve gotten to know people at Events and Adventures. At this point, they’re just acquaintances. So I run into a couple of people a few times and hang out. I haven’t really necessarily got into too much of a relationship, but I'm still working through that and getting to know people.

    Events and Adventures is a great platform as far as meeting other people and doing different events. I like that there are varieties when it comes to the events.

    I moved to a new area and I was looking for a social group. But after I signed up with Events & Adventures, I just didn't wanna have a membership anymore. I had never been to an event yet but I fell one day outside of the three-day window of being able to cancel. Sunday was the last day I had to call in and I called them on Monday. I contacted the recruiter who met with me for my initial meeting and he wouldn’t let me cancel. I was furious but I figured that I might as well try and go to an event. I was unhappy about my first event though. It was something I wanted to do but I had to pay an additional amount and there wasn’t a whole lot of people there. It was in Seattle too. It was very far away from where I live and it was a hassle to get there.

    Also, the whole process of being interviewed for the group was psychological torture. If I knew a personal friend who had any kind of anxiety or had gone through trauma, I would never ever recommend Events and Adventures. It’s not a good idea. Overall, I've had a really horrible experience with Events and Adventures. I knew I was gonna have to be shelling out hundreds of dollars a month for a membership that I didn't want. It is absolutely not worth it because you have to pay a large amount of money upfront before you even get to try any event. There's no, "First one is free," or "Try an event with us and if you don't like it, it's a 30-day money back guarantee." It's not designed for people who really want to value what they do with their money or their time. It's really for people who have money to throw down the toilet on a monthly basis.

My favorites were a volunteering event, and a hiking trip where some people decided to get dinner afterwards. The ones that do some active thing outside and then people optionally decided to eat after are usually pretty enjoyable. I've tried all the events that they've had to offer locally. The one non-local thing I've done was a camping trip. I've also done volleyball, a sushi-making thing, ad a game where you ride around in different bumper cars and try to shoot a ball in a hoop. Alex, the main person in charge of the Chicago events, was super friendly and awesome. It definitely helps when you have some super welcoming, friendly host to talk to everybody and bring everybody in. My experience has been pretty nice.

    I keep having issues with the events of E&A being far away from where I am. I understand they try to make them centralized, but that’s what keeps me away from the events. They don’t have enough on my side of town. The first one was an icebreaker, in a part of town that was a little bit sketchy. Second one was probably the camping trip. It was a dinner and it was on my side of town, which is why I signed up for it. But it was a teppanyaki, so you only got to talk to the person you were sitting next to. There was no mixing and mingling. It also seems like a lot of people already has boyfriends or girlfriends in this club, so it wasn’t all that appealing to me.

    If you don’t live in Phoenix proper or the Scottsdale area, then you’re not gonna find a lot of opportunities. Also if you work a 40 plus hour job, you’re not gonna be able to find a lot of opportunities that really work for you. It also seems that you need to be a lot younger, and if you are a lot younger, you generally can’t afford the cost of it, or you’re doing it on a monthly basis. Being on the older side of it I can afford it, but I don’t have the time to do it.

I went bowling and met a lot of really nice people, right off the bat. Everyone was real friendly. I went on the Sedona trip last weekend. I’ve done woodworking, Halloween party, New Year’s, and a lot of dining out events and game night. I have a lot of very good friends from it, including my fiancé. Events & Adventures has been a great place to meet people. If you don’t go into it with any expectations of meeting the Mr. One or Ms. Right, then you’re more likely to do it. It gets you away, to step out of your comfort zone. I would highly recommend it.

    I’ve been on two trips, and I attended a lot of events the first year with Events and Adventures. But this year, I’ve had to work a lot more, so I haven’t been able to attend as many. I've been to Europe twice and they were both outstanding. The events have been very good. We got a great person that sets up the events, and there's plenty to choose from and go to. I’ve enjoyed being part of Events and Adventure. I’ve met a lot of interesting people. The last trip I went on was outstanding. The guide, the host and stuff that went with us were very good. The people that were operating them did a great job. I’ve recommended Events and Adventure to several people I thought would really be interested in it and wanna pursue it. Some people think it’s a little expensive, so not everybody’s joined that I’ve recommended it to. But overall, it’s pretty good.

    Events & Adventures has the mixer thing where it puts you face to face with a good amount of singles. It took me a second to figure out where the group was. But once I met the group and the host everybody was super welcoming and I had a whole lot of fun right away. It was really great. I went to a dozen of events. I’m trying to do one a week and my favorite is the park cooler and the Nerf activity.

    I also did Human Hungry Hippos. It’s like on the ice rink and you split up into four teams. It was pretty fun. The last one I did was the campfire music. That was really awesome. It was at this new spot club and that place was really cool. It’s their first night of their patio and they were opening a bunch of artistic fireplaces. They had a DJ, some lights, music, and live emcees. It’s good for everyone and as your night change, you can move around.

    However, there’s a lot people there that it’s just a social thing for them. It also seem like there’s a lot of people that are not serious. There’s a bunch of people that are just there because they’re stuck paying the subscription. And then, they show up to an event once a month or so because they don’t want to feel like they waste their money. There’s like a very tight knit group of people of old subscribers. It’s interesting and they all think of each other as cool.

    I was moving to a new city and I was only gonna know one other person who was married with a kid. Events & Adventures was a way for me to get out and meet people and do fun things versus sitting at home. I was nervous going to the first event but the host made me feel welcome and made sure that I was introduced to everybody. And then, as new people were coming into the event, she made sure that I was introduced to those people as well.

    I like the Postino dinners. I didn't like the derby race but I think that’s just personal preference. I don’t feel like the host was very engaging in the group. We had a large area. I don’t think that I knew exactly what I was getting into when I signed up for it. There were like four tables and we were all in the same area, but the tables were not interacting. So my table was kind of quiet and there wasn’t anybody engaging us. I was a member for about two months at the time, so I was still not comfortable. I’ve gone on a couple of dates but nothing really goes anywhere. But I have made lots of friends. When I joined, my main goal was to make friends so that was successful. Events & Adventures has been a great way to get to know people and to explore the city that I didn’t know before. It’s so much bigger than I knew.

The only event where there were more than 2 of us was a monthly dinner for those 30 and older but then there were only about 6 of us. This is a great service if you're a millennial but if you're older don't waste your money.

    I was dissatisfied with a lot of online dating sites and I like the idea of being able to meet people in person. My therapist suggested that I give Events and Adventures a go. I did and I signed up with them late August. So far, I've been to four events. My favorite so far was a dinner for eight people. I thought that was a nice setting to get to know them. One thing I've noticed is that I see the same people at the same events all the time. So I don’t know if it’s the type of events that I go to or if it truly is a reflection of how big the organization is based on what they told me and what I’m actually seeing. In addition, I have high expectations at the service that I’m getting for the amount of money I’m paying. However, part of my fee is not covered. Given how much I'm paying, I want more value for my money.

    I liked the idea of going to different events but for paying such a high premium already, I would have thought I would have gotten a slightly better deal for other things. But a lot of the more fun events are still very expensive. That’s the biggest problem that I have with it. I was told that the majority of events would be no more than $30 but the majority of events are well over that. I've been to about 10 events, and there's a range of people. And everybody is very nice. But Events and Adventures should make things a little more affordable.

    My first event with Events and Adventures didn’t go well. I felt nervous and excited before arriving. The event was to go see the Perseid meteor shower and I got there at the beach and it was pitch black. A lot of people came out to the beach to watch and I never actually found the group. So then, I signed up for a hang gliding adventure and I got there and we got fogged out. I also signed up to go to one of those escape rooms but they were filled, so I took myself on the waiting list and then I got a message saying that I had been cleared from the waiting list, which wasn’t really clear. So I haven’t really met anyone or got to know other people and I’ve already spent $2000. I intend to go back on the website and look for an event to go to, but so far, I’m dissatisfied with my experience.

    Events and Adventures is for singles to get out and to get to know people in the area. The club tries to do a variety of stuff. Of the four events that I've been to, my favorite so far was the pole dancing class. It was awesome. We also did a wine and bruschetta thing at the restaurant, which was super fun too. I have a 40-and-over dinner once a month but I missed the first one, and then I'm gonna miss the one this month too so I wish that event was more frequent.

    The list fills up if I don't sign up for stuff right away. Yet they say to still sign up for it even if I'm put on the waitlist, and that's frustrating. They supposedly have 1,200 people but for most of the events, it's like 20 or under people. So how can that many people be able to do everything? The rep said that even though there are only 20 spots, she always saves some for the new people. So I think it was because I was a newer member that I was able to go to the wine dinner thing. I don't expect, however, to be able to go to another one for quite some time because there are so many people.

    I’m newly divorced, so I’m not trying to be in a relationship right now but I want to meet people and hang out. Events and Adventures had more of the atmosphere that I was looking for. I have met some friends and they think I’m a cool person to hang out with. I talk to everybody, but I see a lot of guys and females that find themselves in situations where they’re not really talking to anybody and nobody is reaching out to them. There should a mentorship with Events and Adventures and have somebody that works in the shadow or something more intense until people get comfortable with everybody there.

    I started back in August and I've been to most of the events and trips. I’ve missed a couple, but I went to all of them in August and I went to most of them in September. The bar crawl was the most memorable and I also enjoyed the Fright Fest. We went to a chocolate factory last night and I liked that. I wanted to go to a hot air balloon riding, although it has not come into fruition because of the weather. I also enjoyed the camping we did for Labor Day.

    Two of my friends wanted me to join about Events & Adventures. I love the idea of having something to do every single day, meeting people and just getting out there and exploring the city. Even though I was born and raised in Chicago, I loved that they were finding things that I never would've visited in my lifetime had I not joined it.

    At first, I was nervous. But the really cool thing that they do is that the host of the event messages you as a new member and tells you what they're wearing, and says, "Hey, we're so excited to have." And for the first month, I kept getting those texts before I went to an event. So I felt so much better about being a part of it and knowing at least one person by their clothing. So the minute I got on my first event, it got a lot better 'cause I met a bunch of people that worked through that. During the summer, I attended 5 events in a week, but I haven't gone on any of the big trips yet because I'm a teacher, and it doesn't coincide well with my schedule. I am now a host too.

    I love the rooftop bars, going out there and going to a place where you can mingle all you want with people and it's also not expensive. The other thing that I love is the volleyball on the beach every Wednesday. We would go and play, and I'm horrible. But it's just so fun. We just go out there and be horrible together and have a great time. The events are all so different, and they all are fantastic. So I've yet to have one that bombed.

    Everything has been great. The only thing is it's overpriced to join. You have to have the money. Also, they'll sometimes charge $200 for an event. That turns me off from doing that event because it's so expensive. Though granted, it's skydiving and I know that those new things are expensive. I've shared that with our event coordinator too and they take feedback well. He found a lot of events that are free or cost less. Other than that, I'm a firm believer in the group and I recommend it to a lot of my friends.

    I saw Events & Adventures on Facebook and it was more like a social group rather than a dating thing. I went to the meet and greet where we learned the rules and we were able to ask anything that we wanted and needed to, which was a good thing. Before going, I was apprehensive, but after I got settled in, I felt that I was in the right place. Sometimes, there are things that sound too good to be true and it’s usually not, so I was very pleasantly surprised. I've also gone to the burlesque event, which was held in a more intimate venue. It was more than our group that went. That was quite interesting, but it felt safe being with a group instead of going alone. I travel alone for work, so I go alone to venues, and I’m comfortable with that. It was a nice trip. The burlesque was amazing and it helped open up the door. Also, it was in a safe environment. The hostess was wonderful and if we had any questions, we could go and ask her, which was cool.

    The first event that I went to by Events and Adventures was rock and roll bingo. Thereafter, I went to the New Member Ice Breaker.

I've met quite a few people and have been hanging out with a couple of members outside who have been really nice and caring. Now, I’m looking forward to the unlimited ice cream and cupcake thing that’s listed and I'm trying to use E&A as a way for one of my old buddies to come to Denver. To help E&A grow as a whole though, they need more social media exposure. At the Parkour event, I brought a 360-degree camera and I've live-streamed part of the Parkour Night on Facebook. It was not just a live stream, it was like we were having a party. Sharing something like that to the open social media would definitely give a boost of exposure as far as the networking line goes.

    The New Orleans trip was my first trip and definitely my favorite. It was great how they had stuff planned for us but had time for downtime. I didn't have to find stuff to do on my own while we were there. We had the option not to do the event if we didn't want to, but we did everything that was included because it was really great stuff. It would be hard to top that trip, although I also went camping on Memorial Day weekend, which was my favorite until this one. I've made some great friends out of it.

    I didn't have much of a social group and I wasn't doing anything, just working, going home and going to bed and I thought Events & Adventures would be something else to do with my time. At my first event, I was nervous that I wouldn't fit in and that nobody would talk to me but there were a lot of nice people there and people talked to me. I really liked how different each event was. I also get some events that are the same thing every week, which is nice, because then I have my friend group. The same people always go to the same events. Some events I like better than the other ones for a specific reason but all of them are good.

    Some events are specifically for people of certain interest and that's why they go but people have different interests. So there may be two weeks where I may not go to any event because it's not geared to something that I'm specifically interested in. Having something a little bit casual and simple to do, like brunch, that everybody can go would be nice. Sometimes I've been a little confused about what was happening at Events, as far as the cost or what we needed to do as people attending the event. There has been some miscommunication errors. The company should give more detail on what's going on and what's happening. I know they try to keep a privacy setting on who's going to events but it would be more comfortable for some people, especially if they're new, if they see some people that they know.

    I was interested in the events and meeting new people through Events and Adventures. I signed up and I have attended two events, so far. The first one was a hike to the beach and taking sights. I was a little bit nervous when I went there but once I met people, they were very welcoming and it was a no pressure environment. We sat there, ate lunch, and mingled with each other. The next one I went on was a lake day in Malibu. It was pretty much a similar thing, just hanging out, eating food, and mingling. And there was a sign in, so everybody was accounted for. I saw the same people at the two events, so I'm getting to know them better and having conversations with them. Then I have a planned trampoline dodgeball. All in all, everybody is gonna get all different experiences and what they’re gonna get out of something, but as far as how Events and Adventures put together things, they’re very professional.

    I'm trying out new things and meeting people at Events & Adventures. I was mildly nervous but then mildly excited before arriving at my first event. I was just curious to see what would happen and what would it be like. Then I went on to activities like the Trampoline Dodge Ball, Archery Tag, a few food and wine events that were like special cultural things, and little things like meet at a bar. It’s really up to you how it’s gonna go. Events & Adventures is not gonna cure your social anxiety per se, but it's worth a shot.

    Events & Adventures offers a bunch of events and I’ve been able to do a lot of things that I would have never found these places otherwise. I chose to join them when I’m a little bit further out from the central Chicago Clubhouse. I was a little apprehensive before going to my first event, but I was excited to see what it was all about. Once I met the event host, he introduced me to a few other people, I was able to get into the event, and all my apprehension went away.

    The Memorial Day weekend trip was fun because it was a national trip. It was really cool because they had the whole grouped section on the campground that was reserved just for the Events & Adventures group so we had the round of the little area and we were able to have our fun without disrupting anyone else. I met a few people out my way, and a bunch of people that were more in the suburbs, that even though they were not quite out my way, I was still able to associate with them a little bit outside of the club as well, which was kind of cool.

    Events and Adventures fits what I’m looking for. It’s fun to do. There are a variety of activities that I would probably not do if I wasn’t part of Events and Adventures. It brings me out of my usual environment and gets me to try things that I always wanted to do. But finding the people to go and do it with is usually the difficulty because your usual group of friends do the usual things that they do.

    I really liked that with Events and Adventures, we would be doing activities with singles. I went on a hike, paragliding, the climbing in trees, and game night. They were all fun in their own different ways. I really enjoyed climbing in trees. That was challenging and rewarding. Playing games during the game night was fun. The hiking was also challenging. We had a rainy day, so we didn’t have the views, but it was a good group of people, and it was fun. I have four activities this month. I'll do The scavenger, The Room, and then Bard on the Beach, which is a play. Also, I’m gonna sign up for horseback riding. I’ve made friends at Events and Adventures. We’re meeting, and there’s a couple that I got along with very nicely.

    I am in a new city and I don’t know people and I was seeking something like Event and Adventures. I decided I was gonna try it out and I liked it. Ray did the interview and I never thought that I can through an interview like a job interview. The whole thing felt a little bit more secure. They just don’t let anybody in. The whole paying for it was a little weird but it’s good.

    I was able to go to one event and it was a pretty cool experience. I was a little scared at first. I got there and I didn’t really know where to go. I was on the phone trying to look up the host’s name and the phone number and she was actually in the line with me getting free tacos. Then, I talked with everybody and was able to make potential friends. They were fine, entertaining, and good people. My experience was excellent but I wish that they have more events down here in Waxahachie area. There are some sometimes but once in a blue moon. Also, they should do a phone app. It would be much easier to navigate. I use my phone for everything and when we use the internet instead of an app, it’s so slow and so sluggish and it’s super freaking annoying. If there was like an app, it would be a lot better.

    My husband died four months ago. I was just gonna get out and about so I joined Events and Adventures. I knew it was nationwide but I was misinformed from the beginning. I didn’t know that for trips, only 30 people could go and I didn't realize you had to sign up right away. Nobody ever told me that. And by the time I even got to one, it was all booked up. The rep said there was all age groups but there was nobody in my age group. I’m 65 and there may be older people, but they may be from different states. I don’t think there’s any here in Dallas. So, Events and Adventures is not for me. Also, I went to two events and I was not impressed. I feel I have wasted my $200. I was very dissatisfied with my experience and I don’t think I’ll be going back.

There were some things I signed up for like paddleboard, yoga, country western dancing, and swing dancing that I’ve missed because something has come up. I had to cancel two that I paid for and didn’t cancel in time, so I lost my money because I had to leave town in a hurry. I really haven’t attended as much as I should for the money I spent.

    I was interested in the activities that Events & Adventures offer. I was both nervous and excited at my first activity but I wasn't too nervous anymore after I arrived. I've attended two activities so far, but I've been watching all the Facebook posts and pictures. The activities are great but it wasn't what it was advertised as. They make it sound like there are a lot of younger people and that it's a great place to meet people, but I'm finding that it's very variable. There are not very many attractive people and the people are not what I was looking for. I wanted to call someone and see if I could cancel. Events & Adventures' concept is great, but the people are a lot older and not really somewhere I would go to meet to date.

    I've been hearing about Events & Adventures on the radio for five years and what interested me most about them is that instead of going out to a bar, it's adventure type stuff. I've been trying to get my brother to sign up for a couple of years now and when I went through a divorce back in March, I signed up. I've gone to four events and I have liked my experience so far. I've made friends. I was a little nervous for my first event, but everybody was really welcoming and I just hopped right in a group. It was cool. My favorite event was the country dancing in the Cowboys Red River. Now, I'm signed up on the 6th to go to the Escape The Room Dallas, and Cowboys Red River, Boot Scootin' Cowboy Dancing on the 7th. I wanted to do laser tag, but I didn't have money for it. Then, I got a Challenge Course and Zipline on the 15th, and then Monday Movies on the 17th, and then Free Comedy Night on the 27th.

I got interested in them because of their activities and now I've been going to about three or four of them a month. And this coming Sunday, it's Cowboys Watch Party that I'm going to. I've been going to the hikes as well and I like them. Poker night was fun. I also went to a comedy club once, and dinners that they have had. Though the craft ones are my favorite, the ones where we're painting. I've also met some new friends through the events. Events & Adventures is definitely great if one wants to be more outgoing. If not sure what to do, it's good for finding events. I'm not sure I'd recommend the trips though.

It was fine getting out there and finding the group. I attended a lot of events or trips at the beginning, probably a couple a week. Now, I only go out on Fridays and Saturdays as I got a new job. I like to go out and dance. We went to an ‘80s club last Friday and on Friday, it’s dancing again out in Dallas. I’ve also done some swing dancing with them and I’ve gone out to dinner. I tell people about Events and Adventures. It’s a great way to go out, meet other people and do things that you like with other people.

    I was interested with the social activities of Events & Adventures and I have attended less than 10 events or trips so far. My favorite is any time there's an opportunity to mingle -- standing up, holding a drink, and talking to different people. I was with the volleyball activity and it was fine, although sometimes, I talked to people when they were playing volleyball. A lot of the events are set up where we are doing something. I'm gonna do open mic night and I probably won't talk to anybody there. It depends on how crowded it is, how many people are performing or if there is an opportunity to have a conversation. A lot of the times, like during skating, I haven't had a conversation with anyone.

    I've done skating, poker, and volleyball around three times out of town for a couple of weeks. I also did Lei Low, which is a rum bar, and I liked that because it was standing around and talking to people. Then, I went to another bar function and everybody was seated at a table. I know how to give a good party and the way a party works is you never have any chairs, you stand up, have your cocktail or whatever you're drinking, and walk around and talk to different people. Not enough of the events offer that. I've mentioned it to one of the hosts and at the volleyball event the last time I was there.

    Nonetheless, everybody's friendly and I'm not very dissatisfied. One thing I didn't do when I signed up was to ask what the percentage was of members that are in my age bracket because most of the people are younger than me, which I expected. I don't want to date a 35-year-old and I'm not 35 or even close to it. The average age is around 35 to get through and I've seen a few people that are closer to my age, but not many.

    I would recommend Events & Adventures to people that are younger than me, not my age group. I'm 62 and a lot of people aren't athletic at 62. They wouldn't skate, play volleyball and do half the things that I'm doing, but because I'm athletic and I'm still young at heart, I like it all and the athletic stuff. However, I would not recommend the club to my girlfriends that are all around my age. I'm not even telling them they should go to an event. There isn't anybody they're gonna meet. It's not a 5-star club for someone my age, even for 55 to 60-year-olds, except there is one host that falls in that range and he loves it.

    I'm getting close to being an empty nester. I was looking for a way to get out, socialize and meet people. I saw Events & Adventures on the internet and I've been with them for a year and a half now. I wasn't sure what to expect when I went to my first event but I felt confident. And it turned out to be fine. There was a variety of people. The person that used to be the coordinator was really rude to me and I'm really glad she's gone. I've gone to 30 events and I've made friends. I really liked Rough Creek Lodge even though it was on the pricey side. Some events, you meet at a restaurant, a happy-hour-ish thing and some events are activities, though you don't have to do it. I went to golf but I really didn't go for the sport. I just went for the socializing, which was fine. Then there was a sushi night. I've also been on a couple of campouts, and those were a lot of fun. There's a San Marcos trip at the end of the month that I might try to go on. We're tubing.

People were coupled up and grouped up and it was not a welcoming feeling, so I quit going. I cancelled the last trip I was going to because I didn’t want to be out of state and the members got their group. I was also by myself when I went to a comedy club, and it was very awkward.

    I liked that Events and Adventures is a social club to get out and do things. When I originally joined them, someone signed me up for one year. However, when some of the girls that I met and became friends with joined, they were offered 18 months for the same amount of money. It was a substantial amount. They joined at the same time as me because we went to our first event at the same time. I contacted someone within the 30-day use, but there wasn’t a good follow-up, which was a little disappointing.

    I was a little nervous about my first event because I wasn’t gonna know anyone. However, everyone was really nice and friendly. Moreover, everyone was in the same situation, so it wasn’t that bad. Events and Adventures' event planner has been amazing. I do eight to 10 events a month. I've gone on a couple camping trips, which were a lot of fun. And I’m going on a trip in November. I enjoy the things where we’re active like dodgeball and trampoline. I felt like a kid again. I've also always liked happy hours, dinners, and wine tastings. I’ve also done drumming classes, game nights, pick-a-ball, tennis and a Pedal Pub, which is a bicycle bar. I’ve made a lot of new friends and done things outside of Events and Adventures with them.

    Events and Adventures helps someone do things that they wouldn’t otherwise do. It is also a great way for someone who’s getting back out there and don’t wanna do the online thing or has done it and has been traumatized by it. There are definitely people who date within the club, but the diversity of men isn’t huge, which is a little limiting. Otherwise, it’s nice. Overall, there are definitely more women in the club than there are men. However, there were more men during the last camping trip. I had a diverse and entertaining experience with Events and Adventures.

    I was interested in the adventure part of Events and Adventures. However, there are more events than actual adventures. I haven't found many adventures in the calendar. I was gonna sign up for the one thing I found which was the skydiving, which was cool. But it doesn’t come that often and I haven't seen it. The event held 20 people and if they have 5,000 members, 20 isn't gonna make it. If that’s the capacity they have, the event should be a bit more often.

    I have a really hard time talking to strangers and if I’m not dragged into getting into a conversation, I probably wouldn’t talk to anybody. That’s part of my personality. At the first event, I sat at a table and thought the people at the other table were part of the group. I didn’t ask and nobody asked me. It would help if there’s a sign on the table for people like me. As long as they have a sign that says “This is E&A”, at least I know that I’m on the right table. It was Bingo Night and I enjoy bingo. There’s an activity, you have a person sitting by you, you get to know that person and you make it easier just to talk to the two or three you have around you. That didn’t happen though. We all arrived, but the bingo was suspended by the bar.

    There was an event where the coordinator was really going out to everybody, introducing people, talking a little bit to each one or starting a conversation. That made it a lot easier for me. The wine tasting was my favorite event, but it was not the event itself or the wine. The wine was not that great. However, the lady set the mood. She was right by me and was also very nice. That made it easy to start a conversation.

    I haven't been to a few events and I'm guessing there hasn't been a follow-up on people, which is why there are so many that come and go. I have seen some repeat people in the events, but not that much. I also heard comments that a lot of people don’t stay very long. There is a reason why they see so much people go back and forth because they’re not interested or motivated. Also, E&A should give events more structure to make it easy for people to join and not feel so awkward. Although I'd change a few things, my experience with Events and Adventures has been good.
