When I lived in Atlanta, my group of friends, mostly single or like me then in LDRs, got together most Sundays for potluck dinner+wine+whatever was on HBO at 9p. (It started as a Sporanos-watching dinner.) When I moved 1,000 miles away 2 years ago (to marry the LDR), I missed it terribly; that little community was very important to me. When I go back, now, I always try to include a Sunday night so I can catch up with the group - at the loss of my Monday morning worktime, but it's worth it.

Livingston's a little town -- there are about 7000 of us here, and one of the delights of living here is that there is a real community.

Healthy and natural. and it sounds like you have the drive to get the need met, rather than planning for Sunday night despair. I have not been reading you long enough to know if you are in a large town, but keep in mind the meetup website, for planning face to face with people who share interests.
