Where do you go to meet interesting people to talk to? I find it's difficult to find the right mixture of:

a) A setting where it's acceptable to strike up a conversation with a stranger

b) A place not already geared towards a different purpose (i.e. a bar for hookups)

c) Filled with -- for lack of a better phrase -- people who are uninteresting to talk to. By that I mean people who aren't looking to chat, all conform to a very rote / traditional lifestyle, or generally aren't great conversationalists.
