Frequently asked questions

How do I plan an evening in LA without spending most of it driving?

Choose one event, then keep dinner and anything afterwards in the same area. Tell me where you’re starting, how you’ll travel, and how far you’re willing to go. I’d leave some breathing room before the start time.

Where can I find an evening built around a performance or conversation in LA?

Check the programme at the Gil Cates Theater in Westwood for theatre, or Book Soup for author conversations and signings. Start with whose work interests you, then choose a date.

How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?

Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Do I need an account to use Outgoing?

You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.

Is Outgoing free?

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
