Signed up for a fancy coworking spot in Austin, and the 'networking breakfast' was just stale bagels.

I paid $350 for a month at The Foundry, mostly for the advertised weekly meetups. The first one was a 'freelancer mixer' that was just eight of us standing awkwardly by a coffee urn with zero structure. I figured I'd at least meet some local web devs, but it was all real estate agents. Anyone know a better spot in town that actually helps you connect with people doing similar work?

Totally feel you, and @dakotag26 is right about Capital Factory.

Capital Factory's dev meetups are solid, but craig.olivia is right, they're downtown.

Yeah... the Foundry is more for the vibe than real networking. I got tricked by that "freelancer mixer" line too. You might try Capital Factory downtown, their events actually group people by what they do.
