The last event I went to was countrywide dancing and I like the lack of pressure of one-on-one meetings and the people were really nice. Also, I'm liking that as the Boston group grows, there are more things closer to me. Before, everything was in Boston or north of Boston and it was tough to travel. But there have been more things added to the South Shore and I'm hoping that will continue as the group grows.

Events and Adventures mentioned skydiving, which I've always thought about doing. I've done a bowling and a billiard event. I also did a taco dinner, and a meet and greet, just drinks and mingle thing. The people seem nice.

The events that I go to through Events and Adventures are enjoyable. It's just that I haven't been to an event for like a month and a half because there was really nothing showing up on the calendar. I've gone to a bunch though. They're fun. There's a great group of people. Everything's been great. If I had a constructive suggestion, it's having more events. The events I see are old and tired. Other than that, I had a good time.

Events and Adventures seemed to target single people for events. That's why I joined. I went to join some of their social functions. A couple of online discussion sessions, and a couple of dinners and drinks. I was fairly satisfied. But I wish it is made easier to see when the deadline for cancellation is.

I'm 52, and everyone's under 30. I felt a little misled that it was a different type of crowd that I was looking to get involved in. But I signed a contract, and it is what it is.

The first couple events I went to were straightforward and decent. Overall, it's good.

My first adventure was bingo at a Chinese-Polynesian restaurant and I had a good time. The people at my table were really nice. They had been there within the club for several months, some for a year. I was brand-new and they welcomed me. This is also my favorite event so far. I liked it because I met so many people more like me, professionals who were of a certain age. They're so busy with work life but they wanted to come out and do something fun and entertaining and just breathe a little bit.
I have another adventure where I'm going to the King Tut exhibit and I'm very excited about that. I do wish that E&A had more events for people 40 and up. Also, the cost is really high for membership so I feel like there should be a discount for women. Every event that I've gone to has more women than men. They should have more incentives. But I have enjoyed my time and it's only been a few months. I do not think I'm going to continue after this year, though. There aren't enough events for me to want to partake in. A lot of the good events are during the week and I am very busy.
I also hate their website. They should pay a web designer and it doesn't allow me to be notified that I'm off the waitlist and they automatically charge for the next adventure once the waitlist is open. I don't really have much choice and I don't like that. Also, when you sign up for events, they don't always contact you to remind you of them but some of them do. I don't understand that.

My only gripe with E&A is the way that it was pitched to me during the initial meeting was that there were going to be more discounts on events. But I'm looking at different prices and I’m like, “Is this the same price as just somebody walking in?” It is a little on the expensive side but I kind of understand why and I see the benefit to it so I don't mind paying it. Other than that, it's been great so far. I've recommended E&A to friends.

Events and Adventures gives me a way to get out and do stuff. So far, my favorite has been doing the Salt River. I've never done it before. Everything that I've gone to has been a lot of fun.

Overall, the people are great. They are helpful and cheerful. But they're not my age group, so it's hard for me to interact. Also, most of the events that I wanted to join were already filled last month. I'm looking forward to my upcoming events.

For the most part, Events and Adventures serves its purpose of what I want it to do. Usually, it's the same people that go every time. I don't always meet a lot of new people but I've met a lot of good friends from there. However, I pay a big fee every month. For a lot of the events, we still have to pay. If the event costs money, I understand that. But I feel a lot of times, I paid the same amount that is if I would have gone there on my own. There have been a couple of times that I've paid more than if I would have gone on my own and haven't felt there was anything extra. If we're spending all of this money, Events and Adventures should do more to make it a more special for us that are going. Sometimes, they only allow 10, 15 people there when they should open it up to more people and block off space for us. We'll go to a restaurant and get there early just to get a table. If they're going to have an event, they should block off enough for the whole event or have part of the restaurant blocked for us.

I like Events and Adventures. However, I have a daughter and our schedules are so hectic, that I don't get to go do the in-person ones yet. I haven't had an opportunity because, usually, those are scheduled on days when I have her. So, it's just being able to attend those that I think would make more of a difference. But I like the virtual stuff. For some reason, I couldn't get that to work for the virtual poker night. However, I have done the trivia night and some of the cooking classes. I signed up for a few more things around town to do. So far, it's pretty nice. But I think they should have more stuff a little bit towards the west side of the valley. I know a lot of stuff is in Mesa, Tempe and Surprise. It would be nice if some things were more in Glendale, Peoria, closer to Surprise where I'm at. But the events overall are great.

My first event was a month ago, and I was nervous. It was wine and cheese, and I don't know much about wine or cheese, and still don't after this event. However, I met some really nice people. Did my feelings change? Yes. I felt more comfortable. I wasn't as nervous, and I was looking forward to the second event that I was gonna go to. I've been to seven events, including the wine and cheese, bowling, golf (twice) and Ringling Brothers. On Friday, I'm going bowling again. Every month, Events and Adventures does this bowling social thing.
I'm doing a bunch of events in August as well. On the 12th, I'm going to a laser show with the music of Journey. Saturday the 13th, I'm going to a lagoon that has a beautiful beach and a water obstacle course. It looks cool. The 14th, we're doing a boat trip. There are six boats leaving at different places and all meeting on some island. It's like a who gets to the island first type of thing. On the 19th, I'm doing dueling pianos in Ybor, then on the 27th, I'm going to PopStroke, which is the new venue for Tiger Woods. He put this whole thing together. On the 31st, I'm going to shoot bows and arrows like Robin Hood.
I'd tell friends, "Come with me to an event or two and see what it is and meet the people. People are super nice." Everybody's outgoing. They just walk up to you and say, "Hi, how you doing? My name is..." We don't even have name tags. I wish we did sometimes. There are a lot of people and you forget their frickin' names. So, you end up saying, "Hey, how you doing?" Hopefully someone says their name during a conversation and you get lucky, or you walk up to somebody you know really well and say, "Hey, who are they?" But it's really nice.
As a matter of fact, I'm thinking one of my friends is coming with me on Friday night to go bowling, and I'm hoping that he will join because there are more women than guys. I don't really care about bowling, but I'm dating one of the women. I just met her through bowling and we started talking and one thing led to another. We're pretty hot and heavy, but there's a couple of other girls I really like a lot too. There's a lot of women and they're all nice, and some are really nice looking as well. The thing about Events and Adventures is they've weeded out the riffraff. You need to make X amount of dollars and you need to be able to be active and go from there. Sometimes it's like dating sites.

I was a little nervous arriving to my first event but I was excited for it. I met with somebody who explained how the program works so I wasn't going in the dark. My favorite trip was the Valentine's Day event or the free darts night downtown.

I've done at least a dozen events and my favorite was the dirty bingo. I had a couple of issues with a couple of events. But it’s a nice group. They're all super nice and friendly people. I've definitely made some new friends.

I'm liking it so far. I went to some events in June and it was fun. But some of the events didn't have any food. The places where we had no food, we had to go somewhere else and eat after the event, which I thought would be nicer because it's 7:00. If you arrange events in the evening, if there is food, then that is helpful.

There haven't been too many events that sparked my interest, which I was a little disappointed about. I wish they would do more events that are more up the alley of things I enjoy. And I'm a little disappointed with the age gap. When I go to these events, some of them looked like they're in their 50s. The last event I went to was a brunch at Shooters. Only five people attended and they looked like they were in their 50s and 60s. I'm discouraged to schedule more because I don't want that to keep happening. I don't want to be friends with people that are that much older than me. That's not why I joined. Also, it seems like the ones that I want to do cost. I'm paying almost $3,000 a year for the membership and it'd be nice to have events that I like that don't cost so much money extra.

The first trip was a hike and I didn't last very long. It was gonna take longer than I could stay so I came back early. There was also a game night at one of the members. I was hopeful for making friends but it turned out to be not what I expected. It was because there was some person making me feel uncomfortable because they were being very inappropriate. Other than that, the trips are nice. I have Thailand coming up in December.

I'm enjoying it. It's a little different dynamic. For me, it's harder to come into the group because I'm new. It's harder to really get a feel for things when other people have already been there and they know each other. But the more I participate, the better it gets. Another thing that is more challenging is my work schedule. I don't work a 9:00 to 5:00 and because of that, it makes going to some of the events a little bit more challenging. At this moment, I have the weekends off, so I get to attend those. It spreads out a little bit of what I'm able to do. But overall, it's good.
I've gone to the margaritas and tacos and I've done the decades dance. I've also gone to a billiards event and a Beer Olympics. It's not that the events were bad but it's a little bit more of the organization. I know all the hosts ‘cause there's only a handful of them and they all rotate through other events that they have. The Beer Olympics could have been a lot better if it was planned out a bit more in advance. Sometimes it seems like there aren't enough additional hosts. Some of the hosts are doing too much or they're not able to do enough because they're focusing on other events.

The host of the local chapter is doing a very good job organizing events here. But Events and Adventures should have an app in Android and iPhone based phones. Having that is so much more convenient anytime. I don't have to log on. Even their webpage doesn't stay on for too long. It gets disconnected.

The first event that I went to at Events and Adventures was fine. It was a party bus. I've never done a party bus before. I also went paintballing, dueling pianos, a white elephant party, a wine down Wednesday and the Fourth of July boat party. The vetting process is great. You obviously want to surround yourself with great people. The marketing that they portray made, at least, the Miami chapter seem a whole lot younger, though. I'm 37 years of age. There are some young people. But for the most part, a lot of the group is in their upper 40s and below 50s. I feel like I was sold something different than what it really is. For such a big decision financially that I had to make on my end to be a part of this network, I was misled. And you only have three days to cancel or to get refunded on your membership.
At this point in time, I was hoping that it was going to be more for singles. But, it is really more for the adventure side. But it was marketed to me as a dating platform and I just don't really see many people. I haven't gone on dates with anybody out of the group yet, but I'm working on it. It's not necessarily the right age demographic for me for dating. I was expecting it'd be more my age and younger. But in reality, it's skewed a little older into the 40s and 50s.

Events and Adventures has been okay so far. I like meeting some new people and having some fun events that are preplanned to go to. My favorite was the mingling event. I just wish they had more events where it's not just this age range or strictly 39 to 42. If they had 35 to 45 or something like that, that would be cool.

The first event that I did at Events and Adventures was whitewater rafting in the Grand Canyon. It was four days. It's my favorite, so far. I've met some people that are younger than me and most of the people are definitely a lot older than me. But they're all good people. Definitely made a lot of friends. My biggest complaint is that what is listed and how the event is gonna go is not always how the event goes. We don't always get the correct information.

I'm liking Events and Adventures a lot. They do everything they say they would. And if an event falls through, they refund your money. Once in a while, it can be a little disorganized. But for the most part, it's a lot of fun. You go in to meet guys or make dates, but I've made a best girlfriend and made a lot of friends. I've even been on the trips with them. I went to Iceland with them and I'm going to Thailand. I did three events this week.
Iceland was amazing. It took me three days to figure out how to stay warm over there. But I saw the Northern Lights, and the ice caves. And you can do something like that when you're going back to warm weather. You're in the cold for nine days, and you go back to warm weather. It was amazing. Very well organized, very well done. We had some bad weather when we were there and they just changed the itinerary around. All the days were different, but they made sure that we did everything and more than it said on the itinerary. However, our event manager down here is rushing a little and she's overwhelmed. Last Saturday, we had an event. It was a movie theater for Thor. Everybody showed up on Saturday. And when they got there, we found out that it was supposed to be Friday and she screwed up. That's just minor. But all in all, she's doing a good job.
You should do it. It gets you off the couch and out and with friends. And everybody is very accepting. It's a good group. I'm 58 years old and I'm with the 20s and 30s. I call them teenyboppers. And we all have a good time. Nobody cares about age. We'd go to an event, the event is two hours, but we go out after and after. We're up until 3:00 in the morning and we don't even know it. It's not just the event. It's just going out, being open, meeting other people and having a good time.

I did the concert, two brunches, and the Brave game sunset. I enjoyed the Rays game. I liked the cruise, the water activities, and the beach. We get together at the beach. That was awesome. The brunch place that we went to, the idea was great. I also went to a dinner. A great place. And it was great to go around and explore Tampa and new people at the same time. But the brunch places, I didn't care for as much. All the food was natural and I didn't like that. I bit into a pancake and I tasted nothing but cinnamon. But now I know. I pass by that place, I would never have known that I didn't like that if I didn't go there and check it out. But the dinner was great. We went to this little Italian restaurant. I liked a lot of it where we would do more social dinners. Also, they had parasailing and I loved the little getaways that they get. So, I'm very pleased so far.
The sunset cruise was awesome. We all met, we went on the cruise, we were all together. There was an announcer up there telling us what's going on and it was delightful. I love those kinds of things. We were able to go on this cruise at a discounted price because it was on a group rate. So, if I will do it on my own, I'd pay more. So, I like the fact that I got it at a nicer rate and I would recommend. I wish that there were more cruises because they've got all kinds of things going on on the water. They do kayaking. But I like the actual cruise or the water activities. And my second favorite was when we went to the beach. All of us went there. I'm going tomorrow to a bar where they live music. And Sunday, I'm going to a pool party.
I liked the fact that Events and Adventures had the little finishing touches, like they had the glow bracelets. They add a bit. I appreciate that. I love those kinds of things. The online activities, I'm not very interested. And last night, we were supposed to go to cantina, but it was hit by lightning. So, we went to this little bowling alley. The first one I went to, I signed up for a concert in the park and it rained. And our leader, Rebecca, was awesome. She knew what was going on and she took us to these little places that she knew of and it ended up being a fabulous evening. So, I've been very pleased so far. Everyone has been very friendly to me and it has been very nice.
I really like this. I'm a teacher. So, in the summer, I've got this more time. As the year progresses, I'm not going to be able to attend as much many events, not because I don't want to or it's getting old, but because of my schedule. It will be more on weekends and holidays and stuff. But I like the fact that there's a calendar. I get to pick and choose. When it's full, they always seem to make accommodations for me. I was afraid that I'd signed up for something, everything would be full, all the good stuff. But that's not the case. So, everything I want to do, it's right there. But I would recommend a bit more water activities because we're by the ocean, and that's something not every place has. That would just be my recommendation because Events and Adventures is doing great.
At first glance, "Oh, 2,400. That's a lot of money." In this stage of my life where it's really hard to meet people, it's hard to go around, going to bars, not my style. You're really paying for the calendar. And a lot of those activities are free. If you want to pay for more stuff, you can too. It's on your own discretion. It was well worth the money because I'm able to meet people and see the new city at the same time. I would tell my friends it's really something. It's a good use of the money if you're single. It's hard to meet people and people are married, they have their kids. And when you're single, you're in a group that's an oddity. It's very hard. Going with a family, you just are tag-along.
But Events and Adventures gives that opportunity where you can meet people. If you meet someone in the group, great, and strike it good. Or if you made a girlfriend, it doesn't matter. You're there interacting with people with the same goals and desires. And everybody has a good time. It's a good investment of the money. Otherwise, being single, you'd spend that money in bars and not be able to explore having that opportunity. It's a great concept. I'm mad at myself that I didn't come up with this idea years ago. I'm like, "Why didn't I think of this?" Because you have a calendar, you have an interaction with other people and it's a great way to get yourself in a situation where you're with other people. I'll go to places by myself, explore by myself.
But this way, I don't have to go alone anymore. I'm in a group. I'm very grateful that I stumbled upon this. And when I told my friends at first, they said it's a lot of money to put up for something like this and don't get anything. But you're paying for the challenge and the opportunity. And to have that opportunity that, normally, if you're doing it on your own, it's not gonna be as fum or memorable. You have a purpose and you're in a group. And I like the fact also that they always make a point to make pictures, a group picture, and they post it on the site and on Facebook. I take my own pictures. But when they take it as a group, it's nice to have that little memory.

I've gone to the karaoke event and it was fun. People were singing and it was something interactive. I also gone to the game night and did online events. But some of the events are expensive, so I cannot go to all of them. I also noticed that there were a lot of women but not a lot of men in the events. So it was more like a woman's club than a single's club. Sometimes the girls were nice and sometimes the girls were mean. There were little cliques. So if you're a newcomer, it's kinda different. My first event was karaoke and it was cool because I got entertained by the singing. With the other events where you had to interact with the people and if you were not part of the group, you would just sit there by yourself.

I'm loving the events with Events and Adventures so far. The first event I went to was the meet and greet for new members, which was really helpful. Right after that was an event that was open to all the team members. It was very welcoming. Then, I just did an archery tree class last night and it was pretty cool. They're very good at picking the hosts, from what I've seen - people that are naturally very outgoing and communicate well. We get an email from corporate and on the day of the event or the day before, we get a personalized text message from the host. In case we have any questions or something comes up, we have their contact number.
Also, they offer us an area to give feedback we might bring something up to the host. One time, I mentioned the instructions on the parking wasn't very clear. I happen to know the area but had I not known the area, I would have been a little bit lost. Now I've noticed that they're very specific on where the parking is and how much it would be if there's a cost.

I like Events and Adventures. There are a lot of activities. They try to have activities in the north, south, or west. So, they try to accommodate to the people that we are part of the group. Also, they're very organized. They always keep you informed. Bowling was fun. Some activities during the week are fun. But Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for me are the days I want to do more activities. Some of the activities are during the week and for me, that is hard. I would rather have more options during the weekend. Very few times, they have more than one event on the weekends. And if it’s not something that I like, what would I do on the weekend? I would also like to see something more about sports, like a group to ride a bicycle, or the kayak, because I like it. Unfortunately, those are not very popular. But I like the activities. They're fun.

I enjoy having somebody to plan events for me and make sure that other people are going to be there. Just having a built-in group of friends. I've done a variety of things. Events and Adventures has a good variety on the calendar. I go to Taco Tuesday a lot. I always do bowling. I usually go to billiards. And I like the hiking type stuff, like nature walks.
However, Events and Adventures is portrayed as a way to meet people to date but there's not a lot of that once you get inside. For me, it has been good because I didn't realize how bad I needed a group of friends. But it's not advertised that way. It's advertised more of you may meet that special someone. And you get in and be like, "No. I'm not dating anyone in the club. That's too weird." So, it should be portrayed more realistically. Other than that, I've had a good time with the club. I love it. If you're on the fence about going out and meeting people, this is a lot of money to spend to for something you're not that into. But if you're looking for a way to get out around people, it's a great value.

I like Events and Adventures. They did a rooftop pool party one in Fort Lauderdale. And it was fun. I liked it. They also did an art in the park, but it's a paint fight. That was fun too. Just there could be a logistics thing. I live in Miami. And I feel like a lot of the events are catered to Fort Lauderdale. And the way they base it from what I've been told is based off how many people actually are signed up in the group. So, if the majority of the people are signing up in Fort Lauderdale, they tend to have more events in Fort Lauderdale. If they were to have more people in Miami joining the group, then they would have more events in Miami, which I understand.
I see myself going less now because gas is on the rise. Life is getting more expensive. And sometimes, I would be like, “Man, I just dished out money to join this club.” However, because everything's so far, I'm not taking too much advantage of it because of that. But they do good, and we do go. I'm sure if I were to live up north a bit more or if they had more people from Miami join, it would make a huge difference in terms of where they are having these events. Other than that, they're welcoming. We all get along for the most part. It would be great to add that if you travel to another city, and that city has an Events and Adventures group, you're able to attend if you RSVP. I know they have a Boston group. So, if I go to Boston, I could look at the Boston calendar and say, “I'm gonna be from this city and state. What events can I join while over there?”

I like Events and Adventures a lot. They gave me a chance to break away from my normal routine of just going to work and home. One of my favorites is still bowling because it's easygoing. Big group of people, easy to meet and hang out. No pressure, no expectation. I've also been to the hockey game and to those international food nights. Tonight I'm going to LED kayaking. It's kayaking at night through downtown Fort Lauderdale. It's also one of my favorites. It's a really great group of people that you meet. I like the whole group dynamic.

I'm recently divorced. I needed a way to do things that I’m interested in with people that are good. Whether it's to end up in a new relationship or develop new friendships, I need my own circle. I needed it to be in a safe environment. I'm on Instagram a lot and Events and Adventures came through my Instagram feed, and I said, “This seems really safe.”
When I had my interview, the rep went through the calendar with me, and I said, “I would love to do that and all these things!” After the interview and the questions I was asked, I was reassured that if everyone's getting asked these questions and they're accepted into the group, then they’re okay. I'm happy that I'm doing it. I'm really so impressed with the friendships that have seemed to have developed and really are going to flourish. Last night, I was at an event, and two people were talking and it was as if they'd been talking and known each other forever and they just met that evening. I really enjoy that piece of it.

I've been to three events with Events and Adventures since I signed up in March. I went bowling, to a piano bar event and the ax throwing. The ax-throwing was intimate. It was a better getting to know you kind of thing, but there were more women than men. The bowling was more of an equal mix. I enjoyed that too. But there could be better leadership and direction with the person hosting the event. The idea was great with the piano bar but I had to leave early because it got louder. If there is an event like that, there should be more time mingling before the event so that we could get to know each other a little better before the loud music. Also, they seem to keep repeating a lot of the same events over and over again. It should not be the same thing month after month, maybe it should be every other month to add more variety.

I am a social person and willing to meet people whenever. I was a little concerned that with my limp, I'd be questioned. But when I went to my first event with Events and Adventures, people were all different ages, sizes and physical ability levels, so it was fine. I was, at 41, the second youngest person there. Everyone was nice but I didn't get to talk to people very much because everyone did their own thing.
I went to the beer and burger festival but it was so hot. Everyone left after two hours and it wasn't a very good event. Everyone was disappointed. I also went to the music festival event in downtown Tampa. But everyone went and did their own thing again. They were already cliqued together. I talked to a few people a little bit, but I ended up leaving because I couldn't find people to talk to. Those are the only two ones I was successful at going to. I tried doing a dinner at The C House, but I had a work emergency. Then, I had paid for and tried doing the comedy club on a Friday night. But after spending an hour and a half looking for parking, I gave up. I went to a brunch once and that was nice. One of the people rubbed me the wrong way though. I didn't understand humor and made me feel uncomfortable.
I'm not thrilled, right now, about Events and Adventures. I have the Italy night coming up. I paid over $2,000 for this. A lot of stuff is expensive. I was not expecting to have to pay for so many events and not at a discounted price. It's also difficult to go to events that are far away. They'll have a bowling night, but it'll be in St. Pete on a Friday evening, and with Friday traffic, I can't get there. The price of gas is so high right now. Parasailing is $89, plus the cost of gas and the cost of this membership. After my time is up, I'm not re-signing up. I can't afford this and I wasn't the only one. I also met another person who said, "I wasn't expecting to spend so much money after spending so much money." The concept is great. But what am I paying for in the membership fee of over $2,000 if I'm still paying for non-discounted events?

The organizers of Events and Adventures are great and do their best. But I’m still trying to feel it out to see if I’m going to stay with them or not.

I did the hiking trail, archery, a brewery with a live band and the candle-making, which was one of the better ones.
I’m aware that Events and Adventures is there to mingle and make friends but it seems like most of their outings are majority guys. If I’m going out to have fun, it’s okay to be with the fellas, but at some point, you want to have some women there to offset that. It could be there are more guys in the Tampa region, but it seems like it’s mostly guys that go out. The few women that are there that I would find attractive, everyone else does too. So, you got everyone swamping them or you can already tell that some of the women are already interested in somebody because they stay close to them. So, you got to take that away.

I found that the events are much better than the first experience that I had with Events and Adventures.

I walked in and they said, "If you want to meet guys, you should go to things that guys like, like axe throwing and barbecues.” That was not subtle at all and it made me feel really uncomfortable.
They then broke us up into a couple of conference rooms. We played and I like left after two games. I only stayed to be polite. It would have been weird to just walk in and walk out. Events and Adventures should do new member orientation somewhere other than their corporate office because it felt really unnatural. But I liked and enjoyed the events I attended past that orientation. I've been to a handful of them and had a good experience with all of them. I went to a pedal bar, a jazz concert, and an aerial yoga class where you hang on the fabric thing. That was really fun and I really liked that.

I have always just wondered because sometimes when I look up the cost of some of the events that are associated with the things, they are more expensive sometimes to do some of the events than it would be to just go myself and do the event. Which I was told when I joined that we get group discount. And that's not necessarily the case. So sometimes I don't do those associated with higher cost, or I choose not to do any of the events that cost money. Because I feel like they're almost price gouging us in a way. So I feel I would rather just go and do that.
It sounds like a cool idea. Like, “Oh, that's cool. I'll just go and do that some other time with some other people.” Because I would look on the website and be, “Oh, it's actually that much money.” You could just go and do that.

I enjoyed the country music festival. That was fun for kind of an evening event. The restaurant events are very different because you're sitting and it's more about the food and you talk to two or three people around you as opposed to something like going to the Western event.

So, those are things that are coming up that I'm looking forward to.
Every event, even if it wasn't as expected, things happen. The people come together, and we've always made it fun. The whole part is to be with people. Not every event works out as planned, but at least everybody does their best to make it a good event. Some of the hiccups include reservations for the tables that weren't there, so we just shoved tables. The event that was supposed to be happening for the sign-up wasn't there as planned. There was some other league going on, so we couldn't do what we wanted to do, but we still made do.
Overall, I have made some really fun friends. I was more interested in making friends than I am trying to find a significant other. I like that it's a multiple age group, so there's a lot of diversity of people, interests, and conversations. So, it's not just the same old peer group, which, is interesting and better.

I did bowling and billiards with Events and Adventures. The bowling event had a better venue. On April 7th, I have a little symphony orchestra. Then I'll be traveling to Chicago for work and I plan on attending some events out there. There are more guys than girls but everyone's been pretty cool. However, what was advertised isn't necessarily what I experienced as far as this outgoing singles kind of group. I'm entering this world after 15 years so this is a little bit new to me so maybe I had some false expectations. But overall, it's a decent avenue to get out of the house and meet people.

My first event was an art show in Scottsdale. It’s like a vendors thing where you can walk around the vendors. I liked it. I try to do an event once a week and I've done snow tubing in Flagstaff, Arizona. It was a whole new experience for me with snow tubing. I talked to a lot of new people. I also did candy pairing and wine tasting. Events and Adventures is a great group to meet new people in town, do fun stuff and explore new things. It’s more of a self-revolving experience when you want to get over your fear of talking to new people and overcome the anxiety of being social.

Everybody's really nice and nobody's disrespectful. I have met people, but I haven't given them my number personally yet.

I've gone to three events and didn't enjoy them. It seemed like there were way too many events that were surrounded around eating and not enough real physical activities, like hiking, as I'd like to see. I would also appreciate if they had some sort of cancellation fee that I could possibly pay so I no longer have to pay the contract price. I had no idea going into it that I would end up getting into a relationship. Now, I've got a year and seven months of contract that I need to pay and it's for something I don't enjoy and something I'm not going to do because I'm no longer single. Not only would it be greatly appreciated, but also it would give me an opportunity to recommend them for other people who would like to also join. Otherwise, it's not worth it. You don't get to have a whole lot of adventures and you're stuck paying for however long that you've committed if you end up meeting somebody.

I have not attended a single trip, but I've attended 20 events by Events and Adventures. I've gone to an Asian food event, a wine tasting and The Main Event. I was nervous before my first event, but it went fine. I'm kind of a recluse, and I definitely ended up talking to a lot more people than I normally would have. My favorite event was the game night. We went over to someone's house, and they had a bunch of different games. We played this one game where you choose your specific generation (like Boomer, Millennial, or Generation X) and you get asked a series of questions that could only be answered if you were from that generation, like things that happened in 1980 if you're a Millennial or in the '60s if you're a Boomer. It was pretty fun. Right now though, I'm a little swamped with my work, so my singles life has to take a backseat until I can get caught up.

The sign-ups for the events are easy. The directions provided on how to get to the events and the communication between the host and everybody that's attending is really good through the apps that they use. There have been very open, honest communication, and they are willing to do whatever they can to help you get there and to enjoy your time. I was definitely more excited than I was nervous at my first event then it very quickly became a relaxed environment. There was a host that saw you when you walked in, so they made it a little easier for you to meet everybody else. They introduce themselves and then everybody else.
All of the events have been pretty good. One thing that is a downside is the additional cost for events on top of the large amount you pay for membership. Still, Events and Adventures is good for people who are looking to meet new people without any peer pressure or awkward moments. It's been great, and a lot of people seem to enjoy it.

It was mentioned that there were singles at Events and Adventures. I recently moved from Miami to Denver and so far, I like to meet people that way.

Since I enrolled, I've done four events and my favorite was a large event where there was a lot of people. I like the big gathering because you have more opportunity to meet people. It was the 80's theme party and that one was really cool and fun.
I also met a few friends so far and aside from that party, I attended a dinner and a bowling activity. There are also games to go, which I've been trying to, but lately, they've been filling up quickly because they have a limited amount of seats. I also want to go to sports and food events. They're doing in July a Yosemite Park backpacking event, so I was going to do that as well. At the moment, I'm still learning about the system and booking and meeting different people. I like that and so far in the events I’ve gone to, the people were not always the same. So there's always a mixture of a group of new people and people you already did something with.

The trips that Events and Adventures' guys go on are what made me wanna try it. I just scheduled one in July for a Yellowstone backpacking. It's expensive, but I'll figure out a way. Events and Adventures has a cool payment plan. I like their affordability, too. However, the user interface is a little clunky. It's hard to use the tool when I already have a busy life.
As soon as I got to talk to some of the members, they told me, “If you have an Android, use the site like this. If you have an iPhone, use it like this.” Since then, I just go home and use the computer. And trying to sign up for that local adventure with the Denver group was hard to figure out. I got in touch with Curtis and he tried his best, but he said, “I do international trips, but go and do this.” On that same call, another member had called in and was, “How do I sign up for that trip?” And we walked each other through it. Curtis did not get me to where I needed to go. But I'm new, and I just have to learn my way around it. But they should make it easier to sign up and track what they are signed up for.
I went to the new member meeting and that was okay. I love everybody. I like my Phoenix lady. They were trying to talk about something. They were trying to have the floor. They were all joking around about it. But towards the end, she was not joking around to the older lady that was there that have been in Events and Adventures for a long time.

From there, we went to a street vendor art museum type thing that was going on, and a lot of stuff that I would have just never known was going on 'cause I don't really follow that kind of stuff. E&A gets you out socializing, doing things that you would otherwise definitely not go do. In that aspect, it is good.
They are doing an awesome thing. It's just, I go there and I expect a certain type of people. But you got people in their 60s right down to their 30s. I'm 39, so it's not like everybody's older than me. But I've only gone to three things, so far and I don't think that I've gone enough to really have a good assessment of everything. Also, if it was an app, it would be much easier to navigate. 'Cause when you get on it, it's a website and it's not user-friendly on a phone.

I've only been to two events so far but the first one was great. It was a small group but it was still big enough to have different people. We went kayaking. So, it's a good activity where you're out and about, but it's easy to row up to or behind other people to talk to different people. The second event was lackluster. We went to this rock climbing place and it was crowded and there wasn't a lot of choice which courses were good. It seemed like it was more about how hard can we make these handholds than just enjoying the rock climbing and exercise.
The host and one other were the same from the first event I went to. They were great. The other two were not. One guy was 300 pounds and did not end up rock climbing. The whole point of picking which events you want to go to is to meet similar people and similar interests. The other guy was a little socially awkward and his aspirations didn't appeal to me either. With the income and the credit stuff in the interview that's gone over upfront, there'd be a little bit higher quality people but I didn't get that from those two. Also, that event was small to begin with. So, there wasn't a lot of different people. The takeaway there would be a little bit more involved screening.
The other thing is this group is based in Tampa. I live in Manatee County and I knew it was gonna be at least a 40-ish minute drive to get to most of the stuff. But after doing it a few times and then also finding out that I didn't have a great time at one of these events, I didn’t want to spend two hours driving especially on a weekday, to have a lackluster experience and pay for it. So, going forward, I would like to see a little bit more specialization. This group is new so I get that. But it would be a better retaining tactic to focus on one age group. Grow that age group first so that there's activity and events on the board, and it's healthy and active. Then add in other age groups. Maybe there are events that are separate for both or maybe having this strong, foundation or base will help welcome more people in and have more events. I'm 27 and I'm not looking to meet 60-year olds.
I sent Rebecca, the leader of this group, a suggestion email on what activities to do and she thought I'd be a good host. I know I would be because I do everything as well as I can. But at the same time, I don't want to be in charge of something like that right now because I own rental properties. I'm a loan originator so that means being available on the weekends and the weekday, at night. So, I've got a lot of different things already pulling at me and I want to slip into a group and enjoy it instead of run it.
When you sign up for events, it doesn't tell you who's going to be there except for the host. And on the one side, I appreciate that because people might be prone to pre-judge. But on the flip side, maybe a little bit more transparency would be cool because if I'm interested in this event and there are other 20 or 30-year olds going, even if it might be a two-hour drive total that night, it might be worth it.
Also, Events and Adventures can create different servers in Discord and invite people to it. You can have as many text or voice channels as you want. It would be a cool way to see how many people are in this group because it will show you everybody who's in the server. It shows how active and how big the group is and it would make it easier for people to connect both inside and outside the group or the events. There are some virtual events, so you can stream yourself right there or your screen. It'd be a cool communication tool for both people individually and posts to get people to sign up and send information a lot more fluidly between people.

They're really good at explaining everything and you know what you're gonna get going into it. But I wasn't thrilled initially because of the way that you'd have your first interview and call to get to know and see if you can fit in then talk about the cost that goes into it. In order to get the deal, you have to commit right then and there instead of being able to have a chance to think it over a little bit, given that it's a pretty decent financial commitment that you're making. I wish that they gave you more time to think about it while still getting the same deal.
Other than that, I enjoyed going to the events. The events and the hosts have been great. I felt pretty good and a little nervous going into my first event. I've been to a handful of events. I really like all the food events, going to try new restaurants or food festivals, the farmers' market type ones that get you out and about.

I had a lot of fun and the people that I met there are awesome. I don't really like the Zoom events that much. They were not really organized enough. But the last one we had was a lot of fun.

Events and Adventures is really a hit and miss. It seems somewhat always a little disorganized. Sometimes, I've gone to events and they didn't even know we were going to show up and that was kind of funky. Initially, when I signed up, it was more like, "If you're wanting companionship, this is a good way to get out there," and I would still agree with that. It's just that some of the events are super, duper unbalanced. I wanted to meet people, but at the same time, I wanted to meet guys. I found that I was basically around a lot of women and a couple of couples, but rarely any guys.
I get the fact that they're very used to how this whole thing works. But when I attended the new members' meeting, it was just a rundown of all the rules and at one point they were like, "This is what it is and you just have to deal with it." So, when it was presented, I couldn't wait to leave because it was super negative and a little discouraging at the same time because one of the biggest issues I have at times is arriving. With traffic in Phoenix, it's hard to get to places on time. I was an executive chef so I've created plenty of venues and always have to establish parking. Normally, if I'm bringing a group of 15 to 20, I can talk to the establishment to make sure that there's parking available or where they might be able to park instead of it just being very generalized. Maybe that's my pet peeve because I used to do a lot of events, but in that sense, Events and Adventures could be better. Although, the events are neat, some that I enjoyed a lot.
Then, there were some where the restaurants were crappy. But that was not their fault. Just in general, some of them get passed on to different hosts, and some of these hosts are very outgoing. There was one guy named Devin that made me feel comfortable and able to talk. He was really open and he would introduce me to people. Some of the other hosts were hanging out with their own people, so it was hard to jump into a conversation, especially when everybody knew each other. Some were very cliquey and that was a little uncomfortable for me because I would just deal with what was going on, and as soon as I could, I would just leave. I wish it was more balanced. But other than that, it's cool. I've made some friends.

I went to a cooking class and I got lost because the explanation was not too clear. Even though the chef said that he had told them to put on Events and Adventures how to get there because a lot of people got lost. But I was pleased because the food was really good. I travel a lot and I love different cooking. So, I heard good reviews about that chef that was doing the cooking class, so that was why I registered for it. It was a really fun class because the chef himself is a very funny guy. I liked him a lot.

With Events and Adventures, there's a lot of nice people of all different shape, size, and color. I first went to a crawfish boil event and it was awkward when I walked in as I didn't know anybody. But I immediately hooked up with a brand-new member that it was her first event too so we wing manned it and then the other members started coming over and talking to us. We both snuck in on the down-low because we didn't know what to think. We were scoping it out. Then recently, we got a limo and we rode around Houston looking at Christmas lights. I've met a bunch of new friends and awesome people that I wouldn't normally meet in Events and Adventures. We joke around online all the time when we're not at an event. I fit in right away and I wouldn't trade it for anything. It's a great value for what you're paying for. Everybody's in the same boat you are and you just go out and have a good time and don't worry about anything.

The host of my first event, which was a dinner was very nice. But when people get together and have to pay, it's very frustrating. Other than that, the cooking class in November was my favorite. I've also been to a comedy event and a walk. Events and Adventures has an interesting mix of people who participate. I've enjoyed making friendships. I've definitely made connections with people in the sense that I see them at regular events.

On my first four months with Events and Adventures, I was going to six events a week. Every month, they have the All Night thing and I've done several of the Heights. I've also done two kayaking trips, archery, airsoft, and beach volleyball which I did every week until it got to where the sun was going down too soon. I attended Taco Tuesday and Food Truck Friday, too. Then, I went to Halloween party where everybody was dressed up. That was fun and there was a lot of people there. I joined Events and adventures because I was looking for a network of friends and pretty much, all of my friends up until this point are E and A members. We hang out outside of E and A and I've been on a couple of dates as well. I haven't found anything that I would cement down but the opportunities are there.

I got the chance to interact with other people and go out and do different events with this club. The Halloween party, the bar crawl that we did during Christmas, and salsa dancing were the fun events that I went to. I also did dinners, bowling, karaoke, and Dave & Buster’s, which had food that was better, but the games were more for younger kids. My next event is international dining and we're going through a Portuguese food. Overall, Events and Adventures is very well-organized. I like the fact that there are so many things to do. I just pick where I'd have fun doing it and just go.

I was in a social group and somebody said that they were going to Events and Adventures. I googled it and found out about it. Then, I called for more information and signed up. My first event was a dinner and I was pretty excited to go to meet new people. It was a tough night to get there because it was raining which doubled the commute to get to the restaurant. So far, I've attended four events and my favorite is the trivia night. There was a lot of people there and we had a section of the room that was all us. It was nice to be able to compete against your peers, meet new people at your table, and connect intellectually.
In some of the events, like the dinner thing that I went to, only two people showed up and it was disappointing. But the rain made it hard to get into downtown for most. Then, some of the events are short, meaning as soon as the dinner was over, everyone scattered, which was also disappointing because after a little bit more than two hours, if it took you two hours to get there, you'd want to hang out a little bit longer than the two hours that took you to eat dinner. The Halloween party could have been nicer, too. It was mixed with another group that were not singles, so it put a different flair on it, which was understandable. But that was my least favorite event. Other than that, I have made a few new friends, not a significant other, through Events and Adventures. There seems to be a higher female to male ratio, which is okay. It might pull in more men knowing that. I also wish that there were a few more that were in my age range, but it's good enough.

Lately, I don't really like Events and Adventures. I go to hikings and to meet at a bar because my purpose in that is to find relatively similar aged people and a relationship type of person. But based on the persons I met in a few events, they are not my age. They are 10 years older so I didn't see my purpose achieved in E & A. Other than that, the quality of the events feels great. It's to speak English to people and make me more practiced. The variety of events is pretty good. If we can have a more flexible contract in the future, like monthly pay like a gym, that would be great. ‘Cause I'm right now feeling like canceling the contract but I missed the time. I don't want to keep paying this.

I have made a couple of friends. On the go, I would recommend Events and Adventures to anybody. But for the amount of money that the organization asks for, they should have an app. The fact that we have to go into a web HTML browser on our phone in order to look at the events calendar is pretty crazy in 2021. I went to an Argentina trip and the rep did the best job he could. But he lacked technological skills even though he's very good at herding everybody together. There were a lot of things that I felt that if Events and Adventures has been doing these trips for years, some of the things should have been ironed out - like we shouldn't leave somebody behind. The bus pulled away and somebody was still left at the spot. There should be a system of counting people. That shouldn't be an innovative thought or process.
Also, Eric, the person they do trips through, was more there to enjoy the vacation and not really to guide or help us. If we had a free day, he would think of ideas we could do. Sometimes he would take people but he really seemed like he was just interested in participating in the trip.

I joined in May and I've done at least 20 activities. Most o them have been hiking, biking, jumping out of a plane and indoor skydiving. My favorite was the hiking event. I've made a significant connection with one of the hosts. We align in so many areas and I was able to accomplish that more important long term goal of finding a life mate. It's unfolding in a beautiful way.
There are more opportunities like trips out of country. I'm eyeballing some of those trips like Machu Picchu. My 18 months will be up in less than a year so I'm hoping to get an offer for a lifetime membership. Also, the price is a little steep. I recommend Events and Adventures all the time to other people who might be looking for something similar, something more meaningful or just to get out there. Go for it.

I've done quite a few events and I've gone on an Orlando trip which I enjoyed. I also did St. Patty's day in Miami and they had a little bike pedaling activity where people go around and drink. I prefer sporting activities, mini-golf, basketball games, football games, and hockey games. There have been a few of those with members of the group who have season tickets and they invite me. I've done more hockey games this year than I've done in my whole life.
The only thing is that most events are in Miami or Fort Lauderdale. Prior to me moving up to where I am, I was living in Coral Springs, so I was halfway to anything, so I attend more events. Now that I'm living further up north, it's tougher to get to those. A couple more events other than riding a bicycle in the Palm Beach county area would be great. There's plenty of stuff to do up here too.

Last Friday, I did my first in-person event. I was very excited because the event was something I was very much looking forward to. I was also excited to meet new people. It was the ballet and I hadn't been to one in years. I loved it. I went early to meet up with everyone at the restaurant that they were meeting at before the ballet. Some of the people were pretty friendly but some were not. So that was disappointing. The guy who arrived first straight up told me that he's a lifer in Events and Adventures and he's not looking for a relationship. So that seemed odd because the big reason I joined is to meet other single people who were looking for a relationship doing fun events. It was disappointing that Events and Adventures would include people who really are clear that they're not looking for a relationship.
I did a virtual event the next night and played a game online, which I enjoyed doing very much. There was someone on the Zoom call who we never saw his face and his name. He just showed up as the name of his phone. The event host is great about having everyone introduce themselves when we first got on. But I don't think that person ever spoke. Then sometime over the course of the evening, that person never participated but he direct messaged me in the Zoom call. I received weird message in all lowercase letters that was just a run-on sentence, telling me his name and then giving me his phone number and saying to text him. But I did not do that and I told the host about it. The host kicked him out. Apparently, he tried to get back in and the host would not let him. I asked the host to report him and he said he’d take care of it. So it was creepy and that's one of the things I was trying to get away from with the online and app dating.
At this point, my experience has not been good. I’m pretty dissatisfied. I'm not ready to call it quits but it has occurred to me to even look into their refund policy. This service is a lot of money. There's a lot of drinking that happens at these events, especially the ones in the evening. But I'm not a night person. So if a friend who drank and went out to things at night, Events and Adventures is a good fit. But with someone more like me, it's not a good fit.
My local host put out on to the Facebook group, which I'm a member of and I do look at, and she asks us what kind of events we want to see in January, which was perfect that she asked us for our input. But the schedule isn't out yet so I haven't seen if there's anything I can really do. I work on Saturdays and there was an event last Saturday that I initially signed up for. I scheduled myself to leave work early. But then I wound up having to cancel it because I couldn't leave work early. That disappointed me and I wish that there were more events during the day on Sundays. But I get it. Most of them work on Mondays.

I became recently single and I wanted to meet people by doing something instead of going to a bar, so I joined Events and Adventures. The person who interviewed me and told me how it works said that the events would be fun and that if I was not feeling comfortable, I could reach out to my host. Unfortunately, the host was probably the shyest person at the first event I went to. It was not a great first impression as far as how it was run. This was a dinner in Capitol Hill, Seattle. When I arrived, everybody at the table was silently looking at me. I had to say, "Is this Events and Adventures?" "Yeah." And we just sat there awkwardly. Being a hairdresser and having a big personality, I started asking icebreaker questions.
I talked to the event manager in my area and gave her feedback on the host that I had at my first event. He's a very sweet guy but he doesn't have the personality to be a host to make people feel welcomed. Hosting is hard. With all my feedback I was asked about being a host and I declined. I'm a business owner and I'm a mother of two. I had four hosts so far and the three women were all fantastic. That poor guy that was so shy said he didn't want to be a host, but they asked him. We went on a hike and I actually got to talk to him more.
On my sixth event, I met this wonderful man and we've been dating. We're like a poster couple for Events and Adventures. It was his first event when we met. We started dating on his third event and my sixth event. We have a two-year membership. We're going to go to a karaoke event the week between Christmas and New Year's. We went to one event last month and we're going to one event this month. He's got a couple of single friends that were wondering about Events and Adventures and I suggested to have each of them be our date so they can see what it's like.
I like that there's variety with Events and Adventures and that the activities are all over the state. That's really accessible and cool and I was excited about that. The one comment I have that is common with people that have signed up with this program is the event calendar comes out on the 15th of the month and if you sign up after the 15th, you're really blocked out of your first month. You can't get to a lot of events that you want to because the calendar has been out for over two weeks. That's the one disappointing thing and leaves a bad impression. You're waiting to go to your first event for a couple of weeks so it would be good to curb that expectation like, "Hey, you're going to be locked out." Maybe they can have the membership start on a different day too.

Events and Adventures can improve a little bit. With some of the coordinators, there's a lack of organization sometimes. In the beginning, I was not really happy I showed up. I was about 10 minutes late, and nobody was there to greet me. I couldn't find anyone and when I did, there were only three people there. Some of the events, there are few people that show up. But they do a good job of trying to put something together and I like aspects of E&A. I've met some people and enjoyed it. I wouldn't mind paying a little more if the events were a little nicer. I've been to some of the eating affairs and the food is okay. It’s not outrageous but in terms of cost and quality of what you receive, it's very good.
Also, a lot of the same people get together all the time. I think it's not so much a clique as much as just getting used to the people that are there, and them getting used to you. I met a young lady who I'm kind of dating. Most of the people who have turned up are simple folk. I'm a bit older, and I've been around, and have a little money, and I'm a little more sophisticated in some ways. But it's enjoyable and I got what I signed up for.
Events and Adventures has tried to put together a list of fun things to do. If you're like me, and you're single, and you want to do something on a Friday night but you don't want to go hang out in a bar by yourself, they usually have something going on, like a little dinner or something. Last time, we went on this hot tub boat and that was a bust. I got on too late, and so I didn't really get to ride with anyone. But then we went to the after-party and the woman I was kinda seeing was there and we had fun.

I recently moved to Florida and I didn't have that many people that I knew. I did Events and Adventures to get to know people. In my first event with them, I was a little bit nervous but interested and excited at the same time. In the beginning, I didn't know anyone so I couldn't find my group. When I called the host, he said they were on the corner and that he was wearing a random color shirt. Almost everyone in the place was wearing the same thing. I definitely couldn't find anyone like that. I told the host that I was a new member and I couldn't find him. He seemed preoccupied with other stuff. For a moment, I thought about leaving.
But I got to each table that was in there until I found my group. We had very good members or members that I really clicked with. I felt very comfortable with them and it was nice. It was fun and it was a really good night. We went to Wall Off in Fort Lauderdale. This place has a big stuff to jump in like little kids and we played dodgeball. On average, I go to events thrice a month. I've been to around 40 events so far. My favorite was when we went to a water park. We were playing there and jumping into an obstacle course. I had a lot of fun on that one. Today, I'm going to go to the Ninja Warrior event.
I didn't do that much research before I joined A and E. But when I talked to the interviewer and information was provided to me, it was a little bit deceitful. The social demographics of the group are not what they told me that it was going to be. The cost that they are charging for each event on top of the membership is quite high for the events. Going back to the same venues and asking for prices, I find that the price is sometimes even lower or at the same rate that it was given to me by E and A. I am paying for a membership fee and E and A is getting a group discount so I don't get why on top of the membership, I still have to pay so much for each event.
That is a little bit dissatisfying. When I get to the event, the combination of people is weird. There are a lot of awkward people. There was even one event that was a really bad experience. I keep my host and the people informed of what I feel. But in this period of being politically correct or in the spirit of trying to keep everyone happy, they tried to tell me everything was going to be all right and that they were going to have a meeting about it. But I never hear about it again.

I wanted to get out and about, and I don't like doing online dating. Doing Events and Adventures is more of a, "Let's get out and do things." Also, the events that I've been to, which I was really glad to find, didn't have that pickup vibe. It was more like, “Hey, this is just a group of friends,” which I really appreciated. People are not scoping out other people. One challenge that I find is that the events fill up really fast. So, a lot of them, if you're not on right on the day that they open, then they're already full. You put your name on a waiting list, so you don't really know if you're going and sometimes, you don't know until the very last minute, which I get. Talking to some other new people, that was the only feedback that they had as well. They signed up and then they went in and everything was full. I'd tell others to go for Events and Adventures.

They said, “Oh. yeah. We have lots of single women.” They're all like 40, 50, 60. I’m like, “That’s out of my age range. I'm sorry.” The other thing that seems to be something of an issue is that I'm more towards the very south of the range. I'm in the South San Jose, Los Gatos, Santa Cruz area. A lot of the nice stuff is up in the peninsula, which I get because the buildings and all that stuff are out there. That's an hour drive for me, though, and then it's in rush hour traffic right after work. I can't get to some of these stuff.
