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.

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 …

We are a group of film lovers who enjoy meeting and mingling with fun people. As much as we love films, we realize that the act of watching a film is not in and of itself a social activity. Join us to watch good films of all genres, and then go out for a drink, dinner, or other social activity.

This group is for anyone interested in playing board games, party games, card games, classic games, Euro games, etc. We're a pretty laid back group so we may play a lot of Euro games at one event and lots of party games at another. It just depends on what people want to play at that event. Go with the flow. We also try to do events that either mix games with something else or just something else for fun. Singles or couples, all are welcome. I do recycle so I have a blue recyling bin. Late …

Friendly, all-skill-level adult pianist group. Play something you are working on for others. Discuss practice methods, goals, pieces you want to tackle, and nuances of piano-playing. Listen to their comments on your playing, and offer yours on theirs. No teacher will be here (at least at first), just other pianists who usually play for themselves at home. Take a risk and hear what other pianists think about your playing. Meetings held near Burke, VA

I decided to start this group for those who strive to understand the underlying mechanics when they listen to, perform, and write music. For those who do not obtusely serve the engine to which the label "unseen forces" is applied, but throw themselves into the moving gears to understand how it works. Our purpose is to cultivate a deeper understanding of music and musicianship, gaining perspective on our own knowledge, sharing compositions and performances to gain feedback, analysis, and insight …

We lean towards literary fiction and, to keep it interesting, we'll throw in a classic or two. Check us out!

We write fiction and love reading literature. We want to talk with others who are on the fiction writing path about literature. We read excellent fiction, discuss it from a craft perspective, and practice writing pastiches based on those readings. We love the chance to share our pastiches with each other. Consider this a kind of graduate level literary fiction reading/writing/workshop. I am open to location/dates/times/number of times/number of members with the following caveats: If we are going …
