In a former life I wrote something that would send an invite out to a
random foursome on the company LDAP, Mixer Mondays we called it.

Anyway, I've always wanted to do something similar web-wide, perhaps
there's a fit here? Submit your email address, zip code, desired
frequency of invites, and restaurant roulette does the matchmaking.

On second thought perhaps this is a different 6HSU. These kinds of
things usually work better if the site does one and only one thing.
