One of my previous co-workers ran a San Diego chapter. He enjoyed it a great deal, but that may have been because he was in charge, and shaping the meetings and context towards what he was interested in.
Lots and lots of fairly loose speculation on topics outside their specialties, lots of puzzles and mind-games. It wasn’t really very fun for me, although the gender ratio was better than I expected.
That’s the kind of information I wanted to get out of you guys, thanks. Anybody else with experiences?
