social networking in downtown orlando?

[Hisma 0]

Where are some good places to meet like-minded folks in downtown orlando? Does anyone know of any social clubs, get-togethers, meetings, things of that nature?

I just moved downtown, but now I don't know anyone around here & I'm not that into going to bars & clubs by myself. So being new to the city, what is a good way to go about making new friends? I figure downtown orlando has to have some sort of art or music-related scenes which would be right up my alley. Anything would help. thanks!
