Spontaneous Gatherings

You've just heard about a new and great place in the destination guide, and log in with every intention of giving it a visit. But logging in at your place, you notice a small gathering at your neighbors place, and you recognize most if not all of the names. So you put off your trip and see what your neighbors are up to. Later on, you see someone on your contact list you haven't seen in weeks or months, invite them over to chat. The person comes over with a friend, and before long a couple neighbors contact you and ask about dropping by. So with such a big virtual world do people like go gather in groups to party at a club instead of listening to a stream at home, or just getting together to "shoot the breeze" with friends? Becky "Sha" Shamen had a few thoughts on the matter.
