The first step is applying for membership. Once you're accepted, you'll get your first invite to set up a <a href="http://www.joingrouper.com">Grouper</a> and can finalize the two friends you'll bring along with you. We handle the rest: we match you with the other group, we pick the spot and set you up with a free drink. All you need to do is show up and have a good time.</i> tag:metafilter.com,2013:site.124646 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 13:19:44 -0800 groupdate grouper hangout socialmedia wingman wingwoman Terminal Verbosity http://www.metafilter.com/123618/So%2Dhigh%2Dso%2Dlow%2Dso%2Dmany%2Dthings%2Dto%2Dknow January 13, 2013 marks the 125th anniversary of the National Geographic Society. <a href="http://www.nationalgeographic.com/125/">The Magazine is celebrating by taking a yearlong look at the past and future of exploration.</a> To celebrate, they are <a href="http://www.nationalgeographicexpeditions.com/triptypes/natgeo125?utm_source=NGdotcom&utm_medium=Link&utm_content=20121215-125AnnivTripsLandingPage&utm_campaign=NGdotcom">sponsoring six expeditions</a>. <strong>January's Issue</strong> <a href="http://www.nationalgeographic.com/125/the-new-age-of-exploration/">The New Age of Exploration</a> - Editor's Note: <a href="http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2013/01/editors-note">Wide World</a> - <a href="http://www.nationalgeographic.com/125/flashbacks-125th-anniversary/">Historic Firsts for National Geographic</a> - <a href="http://www.nationalgeographic.com/125/flashbacks-125th-anniversary/">The Highest Points of Exploration</a> - <a href="http://www.nationalgeographic.com/125/exploring-the-deepest-recesses-of-the-planet/">Exploring the Deepest Recesses of the Planet</a> - <a href="http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2013/01/microbes/wolfe-text">Microbes: Small, Small World</a> <em>They’re invisible.
