If I had any people to talk to in person I would have already done that. What am I, just going to drive to some random small town in rural America, get out in the middle of the street, and accost strangers while demanding conversation? As if they don't hate city people enough already.

Well, I was thinking more in terms of a bar or other casual gathering, and also with the implied "practice normal social skills and only move beyond casual greetings if people seem friendly", but why not? Drive until there is something happening to serve as a pretext for conversation, get out, see what it is, and talk to people about it.
