We brought our group to Meetup.com in April 2010, but we actually began our monthly book discussions in September 2009.  We have been having our meetings the first Wednesday evening of every month, 7pm at Red Hook Coffee & Tea (765 S 4th St - between Fitzwater & Catharine in Queen Village). The meetings generally go no later than 9pm. We are casual and enthusiastic; our members enjoy reading and collectively choosing and discussing books on a monthly basis. We take turns selecting the books for …

There are a whole bunch of meetups in the Baltimore and DC areas. However, there doesn't seem to be anything out there for fun-loving folks in the Ellicott City & Columbia, MD area.  It would be fun to meet some new friends and get to know the area through a new meetup as there seems to be plenty of things to do around here without having to go to the major cities. The goal of this group is to get some fun people together to go out on the weekends (in Ellicott City or Columbia or possibly Baltim …

We are a fabulous group of professional women from all walks of life who come together to share stories, ideas, best practices and, yes, business knowledge. If you are only seeking a "business card exchange" atmosphere then this is NOT the group for you.

Consider being a speaker. Finally, come join us and help us creat …

I'm starting this group for those movie fans who tend towards the indie scene and exroidinary movies (i.e. Requin for a Dream, Magnolia, The Salton Sea, The Sweet Hereafter, Pan's Labyrnth,Garden State. Freeway [Witherspoons first picture])...I hope by know you get the picture.

After the movie I though we could stop at a coffee shop, grab a coffee or a snack, and then get …

This is a group for those of us who don't always fit in. Maybe we are too smart, quirky, artistic, or just like to go down the roads less traveled. We will be doing all kinds of unconventional activities and explore what's unique and interesting in and around the city - maybe we can find offbeat film festivals, random karaoke, quirky museum exhibits, burlesque and drag shows, ghost tours, and any wide range of randomness once more ideas come in. We can also get into not so random activities, lik …

Let's get together over coffee and chat about the novels of Susan Howatch, which have been described as follows: In all of these novels there is a meshing of Christianity and psychology, which Howatch uses as a tool to perhaps reach those “who say and think that religion is outdated rubbish.” If you talk to these people in the language of psychology, she says, “then you can say, this is what Christianity is saying. Learn the language." You don't need to be a Christian to enjoy these novels. Ther …

Who loves a good read? This group is dedicated to those who flip right to People magazine's book reviews in the check out aisle at the grocery store. To the ones who give story lines a shot, even if it is labeled young adult fiction. The ones who don't care if the book is the next great American novel, or not. I'm creating this meetup based off of my love of books, plot lines, and social company. I am an equal opportunist when it comes to my books, and I hope that if you join, you will be too. T …

This group is for any young couple interested in hanging out with other couples who are Fun, Kind, Outgoing and Open-Minded. My husband and I decided to start our own group after trying out many other meet-up groups and leaving each disappointed. Our goal is to meet other great couples and make REAL lasting friendships, not just networking (like those "other groups" do). There was an article in a recent Washingtonian that stated that married couples who had many couple friends reported having a …
