Gatherings coming up in Istanbul?

Merhaba Istan-bulls,
I have long been a member of the site, but never have quite been active. Now I do realize what a waste of opportunity it is to do that. Anyway, I returned to Turkey after six years of studying abroad (Norway for high school, USA for uni), and am now taking the courage to move to Istanbul. And, as you may imagine, I barely know anyone in the city.

As I have also come across a couple of posts expressing interest in a get together, I was wondering if there are any formal get-togethers coming up? If not, is there anyone willing to have a cup of coffee somewhere on the European side of Istanbul? Would be great to have as many people as possible.

With much sincerity,
Akin
