This club is for readers in the Washington, DC area who fell in love with books by reading the classics. Whether it was Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, F. Scott Fitzgerald, or another author who got you 'hooked', you are welcome to join! We will read and discuss a classic work of fiction each month. This club is perfect for readers who want to cross more of the classics off of their "To Read" list.
Meet with local classic and arthouse film aficionados to discuss award winning classic films, foreign films, independent films, shorts, documentaries and under appreciated cinema. Occasionally we may see a contemporary film together if it relates to the previously named categories and brings one or more of those past award winning films into the discussion, like a remake of "Chicago". PLEASE CLICK ON MESSAGES OFTEN: YOU CAN CREATE A MESSAGE TO SHARE WITH THE GROUP - ANYTHING BROADLY RELA …

If reading great literature with a friendly, laid-back, edgy intellectual crowd turns you on, then this is the meetup for you. We won't t …

Formerly known as The Alexandria Movie Fans Meetup Group. I changed the name and location info to better reflect the membership and goals of the group. We will still be having our great events in Alexandria, but I hope to expand the group geographically into DC, Maryland, as well as further into Virginia. This will give everyone many more movie going options and more chances to to meet new people. I also would like to start hosting more themed events, such as Indie Movie Nights and Classic Movie …

Tired of the Classics; tired of Click Lit and want something new, then you belong in this group. We will read books like "The Road", "The Good Soldiers" and "Leopold's Ghost". This group leaves Austen on the shelf to collect dust, so we can get involved in real books outside of Oprah's silly frilly stories. Give me meat!

For as long as I can remember, I've had a deep appreciation of upbeat, dance-driven pop and R&B music with good grooves, good melodies, and good vocalists. I know there are others in the area who appreciate fun, quality music from the '80s and '90s. Talented artists like Sheena Easton, Billy Ocean, Craig David, Bananarama, Haddaway, the Pointer Sisters, and Deniece Williams — to name just a few. But it's not everyday that we might by chance meet another fan on the street. So, I'm starting this g …

Our book club meets the third Thursday of every month and we rotate meeting "hosts" each month. We generally try to try a different book genre each month, such as memoir, non-fiction, science fiction, biography, autobiography, classic, fiction, etc. The "host" can select the meeting space, be it a coffee shop, bar, restaurant, or home, and comes up with a few good starter discussion questions. Ideally we'll stick to Capitol Hill and Eastern Market. Feel free to offer "hosting" a meeting, just s …

Some people drift through their entire life. They do it one day at a time, one week at a time, one month at a time. It happens so gradually they are unaware of how their lives are slipping away until it's too late. Ever feel your days are passing by without any tangible output to speak of? What were your accomplishments in the past 3 months? What are your upcoming goals for the next 3 months? Look at the things you did and the things you’re planning to do next – Do they mean anything to you if …
