A Sunday afternoon, a glass of wine, a few snacks, a fantastic piece of playwriting, and a group of avid play readers who like to have fun!  What could be better? East Bay PlayReaders is a group for amateurs who are theater lovers and would like the social experience of group reading. The group is open to anyone, and actors can join, but the purpose is to bring in non-professionals who want to be a part of a playreading, without theater experience. The venue we have chosen is in Alameda, CA. , b …

Hi there, my name is Erika, the organizer for the group and also the founder.  I'd like to tell you a bit about this group.  It's very dynamic in that you get to do just about anything that has to do with our classical music theme and friendship (e.g., audienceship, performance and learning). As facilitator of the group I do ask for at least a minimal commitment to the group in order to make it worthwhile for you and your fellow participants.  Your active participation is necessary!  This group …

Have you ever felt you were stuck in unhealthy patterns (either your own, your family’s, or society’s) which you could not change no matter how hard you tried?  If so, EFT might be the right modality for you. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is an integrative mind-body healing technique that combines elements of classic psychotherapy, tapping on acupressure meridian points, and universal concepts of love and acceptance to heal physical and emotional imbalances. The beauty of EFT is its simplici …

Crime and Punishment, Anna Karenina, A Tale of Two Cities......this group is for anyone who wants to re-visit classics such as these or explore them for the first time. This will be a casual book club and anyone with an interest in classic fiction is welcome! We will vote on our selection each month (except for the first). This group will not be a formal affair with prepared questions, etc. Instead, we will have a free-flowing discussion about the read over food and libations (if you so desire).

There are several Meetup book clubs in the East Bay, but many of them are specialized (e.g., women-only, we only read such-and-such books, etc.), or their meetings fill to capacity so fast that I never get a chance to rsvp - so I decided to start this one. I previously participated in a fantastic book club in Chicago, which gave me the opportunity to read some great books that I probably wouldn't have found on my own. I hope to continue that trend here! This is a mixed-gender book club for anyon …

We meet once a week in the Open Fine Art Gallery in Berkeley as well as other locations with a Piano.

Back by popular demand... First, thanks for taking the first step in joining a special group of ladies who love to read, chat, over enjoy a glass of wine. I initially started this group two years ago because I am a book junkie who was looking to join a book club in the area and found none. After a year on Facebook, I decided it was time to take the group back were it all started. We read mostly contemporary lit, but do mix it up every so often with a classic. This is the book club for anyone who …

Let's get together and have some fun playing video games. I'd love to meet casually once a week or so and play some classic multiplayer games. I'm a big fan of Super Smash Bros (all of them) and Little Big Planet. But any multi-player game will be great.

The SPEED channel no longer airs MotoGP. Well how can we watch it and stay up to date on practice, qualifiers and the race? I'd like to invite you to join myself and others to watch all of the MotoGP races throughout the season in the East Bay, located at my house or other locations to be determined. As the attendance increases, I will begin projecting it for better visibility. The races tend to land on a weekend and the final race on a Sunday. What circuit the race is at and the time zone, will …
