How to make a meetup site?

[LouTheDesigner]

I need to make a meetup site where admins can create an event, and people can RSVP to those events and also have a "send this event to your friend" option.

How would you go about doing this with joomla?

What components would you recommend?

I needed something similar to how meetup.com (or Google Groups) handles mailing lists for my drupal website.

*I need the ability to forward an emailed message I receive to a dedicated email address that will distribute the message to the registered users of my site such as mysite-mailinglist[at]woohoo.com
*I would also like this app/module to have a webbased GUI component so my users can use an online form to send out message to the group as well directly from the website.
*mailinglist archive to be created as messages are sent, so users can go back and review the previously sent messages.
