LPT: Remember and mention the names of people who help with or create your favorite things
Stuff like music, art, activities and clubs. Mentioning the creator or founder of different events and hobbies you have can very often lead to "Oh really? I know \*names\* cousin and we go to parties all the time, want to come next time". Will it always happen? No. Has it happened? Absolutely. Real foundation of networking is creating a positive proximity to someone through compliments or admiration, and you can do that easily by saying people's names, especially if those individuals are more underground.
I do Jui Jitsu, and I'd mention the head coaches name and so many people would go "Ohh wow! He used to train xyz" and then they'd go on about how they're going to a tournament or whatever, and we'd make plans to go together. #entertainment
