I'm hoping to combine two things that I love: Literature and discussion about literature that takes place in a relaxed cafe atmosphere (nothing too fancy here & drinking is optional). A nice way to meet other literature lovers and smart conversationalists. Come and join the fun and expand your horizons a bit when it comes to literature! I do need some motivation at times to complete my reading list and maybe you do too? I'm a fan of classic literature (think Aeschylus, Dostoyevsky, Mann, Balzac, …

This is a group of those interested in the Latin language - i.e. the Language spoken in the Roman empire and the great poets Cicero, Virgil, Ovid and Lucretius. The idea is to meet, read in Latin and experience this great language.

There are few periods in film history that were more influential and more fun that the Italian Spaghetti Westerns made between 1964 and the mid 1970s. You will find more action or gun play anywhere. Not even a Shakespearian tragedy could pile up bodies like the Italians would. From Sergio Leone to Sergio Corbucci to Enzo Barboni; from Clint Eastwood to Lee Van Cleef to Klaus Kinski and hundreds of Italian unknown actors; these movies are endless fun. Once a month Gun Slingers get together to sha …

This group  provides a way for single, politically progressive people to meet other people who share a similar world view. The age range is 40+. Events will not necessarily be political, but will be aimed at creating enjoyable experiences such as attending live concerts (blues, rock, classical, etc),  dances, hiking, watching documentaries or indie films, or simply sharing a nice meal or snack together at a local hangout.

We select one book each month and have a monthly potluck style meeting to discuss what we thought, and eat! In addition we will occasionally plan other social events, just for the fun of it!!

Okay, finally it's time to start a Meetup group for the ever-growing segment of those of us out there classically defined nowadays as "cougars" and "cubs".
