What is Meetup for collectors?

Meetup helps collectors in Los Angeles find groups and events based on their hobbies and shared interests. It's a way to connect and participate in community gatherings focused on collectibles, whether stamps, coins, or action figures.

How do I find collecting events near me?

You can search for collecting groups on Meetup by entering 'Los Angeles' as your location. Explore various hobby-related events, from trading meet-ups to exhibitions, right in your area.

Can I join multiple collecting groups?

Yes, you can join as many groups as you like. Participate in different collecting communities across Los Angeles and engage with each to find what excites you the most.

Are there collecting meetups in Los Angeles?

Definitely! Los Angeles hosts a variety of collecting events and groups through Meetup. Whether you're into rare toys, stamps, or something niche, you can find events to suit your interest.

Is Meetup free for collectors?

Meetup is free to use, but some groups or events may have attendance fees. You can explore and join most groups at no upfront cost, allowing you to engage without financial obligations initially.

Do I need to RSVP for events?

Yes, RSVPing is often necessary as it helps organizers manage space and resources. It's an easy process directly on the Meetup platform, ensuring your spot at events.

How do collecting groups operate?

Each group is managed by its organizers who plan events and activities. These can range from informal social gatherings to structured workshops and presentations on collecting items.

Can Meetup help find 1-on-1 connections?

While Meetup is mainly for group interactions, it can lead to individual friendships. The primary focus remains on community gatherings and shared interest events.

Will I meet collectors immediately?

Meeting new people can take time and depends on attending events and engaging with others. It offers the opportunity but doesn't guarantee instant connections.

Are there online collecting events too?

Yes, some collecting groups may offer online events, giving you flexibility in how you interact with your collecting community, especially when in-person gatherings aren't feasible.

How does Meetup improve collector interaction?

Meetup facilitates connections by providing a platform where collectors can discover events tailored to their interests, enabling easy RSVPs and group communications.

Are groups beginner-friendly?

Many collecting groups welcome all skill levels, including beginners. Specific group descriptions or events will note if they focus on educational or beginner-friendly content.

Will there be a group for my unique collection?

Availability varies by interest and location. While many traditional collecting groups are active in Los Angeles, niche collections may have fewer options.

What if a group is inactive?

Group activity depends on organizers and demand. If a favored group seems inactive, exploring alternative or related collecting groups is a helpful strategy.

Is group quality consistent across LA?

The quality and frequency of events may differ by group and organizer. Exploring various groups will allow you to find ones that align closely with your collecting interests.

SEASONAL FORAGING — WILD FOOD AND USEFUL PLANTS BY THE SEASON

Sat, Jun 27, 5:00 PM

From Wild Food and Self-Reliance Discovery

4.9

To attend and for exact location, Register [HERE](https://www.schoolofself-reliance.com/event/wild-food-and-useful-plants-by-the-season/) SEASONAL FORAGING — SUMMER Saturday, June 27, 10 a.m. This series of field trips occurs one per season, so you can learn to see nature through the seasons, from a forager’s perspective. The essence of this class is to develop seasonal knowledge and observational skills: How to look, where to look, what to look for. Plus, we will also focus on responsible and sustainable gathering methods, including collection of seeds and cuttings so you can grow plants in your own backyard. You’ll learn how to identify and collect foods, medicines, soaps, fire-materials, and other useful parts of plants. You’ll learn to think like foragers of the past, who had to have an intimate knowledge of the seasons, and foresight for the future. (For example, sometimes you do NO foraging in an area if the plant or seed is not abundant.) Join us each quarter for an insightful walk into a wild area, with a focus on interpreting what’s available that season. Each session will include demonstrations, hands-on practice, and sampling of the seasonal foods, such as salad, soup, biscuit, or tea. Each session includes a list of what is normally available in that season. **SUMMER** In this period, there usually has not been rain for awhile, so the environment is a bit drier. Most of the early spring vegetation is mature. However, there are some greens that develop a bit later and are typically found in summer, such as purslane, and lamb’s quarter. This is also the time for many of the fruits to be collected, such as wild cherries, manzanitas, and the ceonothus berries which are used for soap. The acorns are starting to mature. You’ll learn what’s in season in this traditional “harvest” time, and how to collect sustainably, and responsibly.

LUNCHTIME TRAPS,TRIGGERS, PRIMITIVE WEAPONRY WORKSHOP

Thu, Jun 25, 7:00 PM

From Wild Food and Self-Reliance Discovery

4.9

To attend and for exact location, register [HERE](https://www.schoolofself-reliance.com/event/lunchtime-useful-plant-walk-25/) Learn to make traps, triggers, snares, deadfalls — learn by doing! Thursday, June 25, noon Note: We do not go out and try to kill or trap animals when we do this class. We recognize that hunting and fishing are long-established methods of putting food on the table, especially during times of hardship and emergency. Though I have never really been what you’d call a “hunter,” I always wanted to know how to capture and clean animals for food, if I had to. I learned originally how to clean animals by using roadkill, and fish that I caught. Later, I learned how to make and use primitive traps from various sources, such as Paul Campbell and Larry Dean Olsen. So if you’re like me, and just want to know how to make these devices “just in case,” please come to the class. We’ll meet in the Arroyo Seco to learn which woods are best for traps and triggers. Then’ we’ll work on carving a deadfall trigger, a trigger for a quail trap, and more. You’re learn by doing. Bring your knife! (We have extras if you don’t have one) We’ll see edible and medicinal plants. Bring your canteen.
