How do you meet then irl?
I've only heard it mentioned once while in a gay pride parade, and it was just someone getting spergy.
How would you know where to look to find some?
Next time you are in a crowd, look around you.
We could be any of them.
Yes even that guy.
Especially that guy.
I find a lot of Discordians... well, pretty much everywhere. There's two in my cognitive neuroscience class. The Cacophony Society or other places eccentrics and pranksters congregate is a good place to look. I also am part of a feminist drinking club that has a lot of Disco-minded people.
Poke around in the fringes of society, including the arts and sciences. In fact, I have to say that the sciences seem to be kind of Disco-heavy.
I've never met a Discordian in my life.
There is no Discordiananywhere.
Roam the streets at 3am on a unicycle with a megaphone screaming "GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE"
I actually have a few friends that, despite never having read or even heard of the concept, say and do discordian things that make me proud to know them. Discordians are everywhere, pope card or no.
Linux nerds
I mostly avoid discordians in public. They're all about money and try to isolate you from your friends and family. And I've never really been able to grasp their concept of Lord Xenu..

Keep in mind, Nigel lives in Portland. I would imagine at least 40% of the population discos on a regular basis, and that may be a conservative estimate.
Me, I live in Toronto. I've met maybe 2 discordianists here, and there are probably about 6 more lurking nearby I don't want to talk to anyway.

Those are SubGeniuses.
The majority of Discordians I've met in Boston are assholes.

This is true, and also is probably largely responsible for the fact that about half the people who move here hate it and complain that they can't find any normal people.
On the other hand, it's also probably why the majority of the population here is hopelessly self-absorbed and all about how they're into cool stuff. Then again, that might just be a generational thing.

Young people should be into cool stuff. Horrible reality will be along sooner or later. They may as well enjoy being cool while they can.

This is true. All of my friends are between the ages of 25 and 50, and still probably qualify as being young enough to be cool.
