The beginning of this group stems from the fact that a meetup group with a classical music theme is scarce, and pretty much non-existent in Vancouver. This group aims to bring together those fond of classical music to meet like-minded people and have an enjoyable time. Working professionals who are an avid listener of classical music or play an instrument as a hobby can look forward to the vast opportunities for engaging activities, ranging from simple or thought-provoking discussions over coffe …

What is Steampunk? Steampunk simply embodies a time and a place. The time... the late 19th century, the place... a steam powered world, where air travel by fantastical airships and submarines is as common as traveling by car, train, or boat It's a place where national boundaries and interests are vastly different than our own version of history, where the elegant and refined are as likely to get pulled into a grand adventure, as the workers, ruffians, and lower classes. The idea of space travel …

Creation of this group is an attempt to connect with people who not only enjoy poetry(sher-o-shaayari) but also enjoy the lilting music (Ghazal in tarannum). A sincere attempt to create a platform to share the treasures of literature (Ghazal) & Indian music (Gayaki) with the like minded people. Looking to meet atleast once a month to take a trip down the memory lane and dig out the golden melodies of the yester era. Gham mujhey hasrat mujhey, vehshat mujhey sauda mujhey, ek dil de kar khuda ne d …

After just five months this Meetup has grown to 40 members, at least half of which regularly attend Rock Movie Club every second Saturday night. So far it has mostly attracted Boomers and 40-somethings.

We meet in the host's house a five-minute walk from Joyce skytrain station. Doors open at 7pm, we start the rock movie of the night at 8p …

Maybe there are folks out there without the space, but work they want to do. Maybe there are folks out there with shop-space and no projec …

Inspired by Barbara Sher's book, "Refuse to Chose", I created this meetup for fellow scanners like myself. We are people who think the world is a playground, full of interesting and exciting opportunities and we are not people whose interests or experiences can be easily fit into a certain box or speciality: .we are SCANNERS!
