Outside the Box Networking Tips

I'm a fairly active networker. I've tried BNI (I hate the politics and strictness of it but I will concede it works), I'm currently in a Le Tip group, I always wear something from my company around town, I've done NARPM. I haven't done chamber of commerce but I'm wondering for those of you that are really active in the networking space - what tips do you have for people to either get started or take their networking to the next level?

I think mine actually is I drive a fully wrapped vehicle around ALL the time. This is a conversation starter and it's a little bit of a long play. All the places I go regularly, the people know what my business is at least and it helps get brand awareness in my circles. 

BUT I know there's other things out there. So what are the rest of you doing?
