Computer and Science Related SIGs?

sentientbrendan asks: "I'm a University student home for summer vacation, living in the Greater Seattle area. While at school I have access to a lot of different clubs such as the ACM, Math Club, Anime Club, etc. Now that I am out of school, even though I have more free time to participate in them, I no longer have access to said clubs. I enjoy hanging out with intelligent technical people and discussing programming, math, science, physics, and so fort. I'm a serious student of a number of subjects and I like to hang out with people who either know their stuff, or are willing to learn about it. I'm especially interested in anything that has a Seattle chapter. It also definitely needs to be a group that still meets during the summer. I do attend 2600 meets, although I'm not that interested in security in particular. The informal atmosphere is nice and people tend to wander around Seattle at night after the meets, which is always fun. So Slashdot, what are your favorite tech/math/science clubs?"

I am having a tough time with all of this down time I have being a college student sans college. I am in MA, and would enjoy attending my local LUG but unfortunately I think it is comprised mostly of battle hardened 30 something sys-admins, nothing against them they're cool and all but I'd feel a tad out of place... I guess it's just going to come down to splitting time between work, the hillegass book and the occasional high school friend... I could re-install starcraft I suppose...
