The people at the venue in the NY/NJ Meetup didn't know what a Meetup was. They asked me: "Who is she?" Then they directed me across the street. As I was looking across the street at the address they were trying to send me to, a man with no shirt came out of the door, then a woman with a skirt up to there and slit in it even higher. More unsavories soon came out.
Needless to say I ventured no further. Eventually I found 2 others and we went to a McDonalds for about 3 hours.
