Every Tuesday, nearly year round except holidays or really really rainy days, we gather at a local coffee shop and play games. Usually Eurogames, but sometimes party games like Telestrations are played. From this we branch off once in a while and hold a game day on the weekend, like New Years Day we'll all go to the Elk's lodge, one of our group is a member, so we'll play there. At the coffee shop we have only about 3 to 3.5 hours to play, so we might try 1 or 2 longer games, or 2 or 3 shorter games. Sometimes more if the games don't require teaching.
Rereading your post, this group was not originally a RPG group, though some of us did that, with different groups of friends before first meeting whenever the group first started going to the coffee shop.
