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.

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 …

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 …

Can you spend hours in a book store? Is being in a book store almost as enticing as a shoe store? Could you spend all of your hard-earned money on books? Do you own more books than shoes?

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

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 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 …
