There is likely several chess clubs in your area. If you are a member of the USCF, the put together a list of tournaments and clubs by state.
http://www.masschess.org/ has a list of tournaments in your state. Go to a couple and ask where people get together :)
Don't you find using the term "meatspace" in a serious sense to be rather disturbing, d00d?
I kinda like it. Then again, when I was growing up (the 70s) it was good to be disturbing. 
I don't like any guys around my meatspace.
No offence.
In the 70s we were also offensive. And liked it.
Speaking of Chess in "Meatspace," here is a fitting chessboard for it:
And a set to go with it:
Yum! But isn't the Queen's Bishop a stick of dynamite?
I would like to play chess in meatspace (in addition to online), but I don't know anyone who really plays. I live in the suburbs of a large city in my state, so it's not like I live on the fringe of civilization. Even so, it's hard to find people with similar interests, and I often don't know where to start.
There is supposedly a chess club at my college, that meets for like an hour once a week, not regular enough for my liking. I want to get decent at the game, so hopefully I could find players to practice with almost daily. I looked for other clubs in my area, but nothing turned up. I'm also shy socially, so I tend not to seek people out but wait for someone to advertise a group or club.
So for those who were or are in a similar situation, what's your plan to find other players, or what has worked for you if you did? Has anyone actually started their own local club from scratch?
