a few questions

what kinds of things are happening in la this week?
a mix of outdoor concerts, rooftop film screenings, and free cultural nights at some of the city's well-known spots. it skews toward evening plans you can make last-minute without much coordination.
how do i join a plan someone else already made?
browse the open plans on this page, find one that matches your vibe and timing, and request to join. the person who made it gets a heads up and you two can sort out the details from there.
what if none of the existing plans match what i want to do?
post your own. pick the event you are interested in, say when you want to go, and let other people in la come to you. it usually does not take long.
do i need to already have friends in la to use washedup?
no, that is kind of the whole point. washedup is for meeting people through the thing you are both already trying to do, so the event does the heavy lifting on common ground.
find people to go with.
