For a long time, I thought it would be fun to get together with others to act out famous movie scenes or iconic tv shows. Maybe I'm alone here, but I think it'd be a blast. I noticed that there aren't many venues for people to do acting for fun, just paid classes or theatrical productions. It just seems very exclusionary. Last summer, I took a couple of acting classes, but beyond that, I don't have any formal training or experience (except in third grade when I played the judge in a play that wa …

You wear your Chuck Tailors more often then high heels.  Sarcasm and irony are part of your repertoire.  You're classy most of the time but love a little trashy here and there.  You love the Tonga Room/Medieval Times/The Madonna Inn because they're all so ridiculous. You partake in the 5 dollar lunch buffet at the Gold Club whenever you get the chance.  Your tongue is sticking out in 75% of the photos you're in. Asia SF is a highlight in your past nightlife adventures. You typically find yoursel …

(Note: This intro will be updated soon) The new organizer (Joni) sent the following note to all members of the group on 10/4/09: ----- Hello Cooking enthusiasts! Joni here, your interim organizer.

This group is for like minded individuals in the San Francisco bay area who are interested in seeing what the city has to offer. We'll have social gatherings during the week, and on the weekends we'll plan trips outside of the city or just gather for a BBQ in the park. This group is for young professionals around their Mid 20's to Mid 30's. I'd love to have people who are entrepreneurial at heart and want to meet others who are just passionate about their work as they are about their social l …

I was recently inspired by a New York Times article about informal science and technology lectures that are being held in bars and clubs in NYC. Here's my vision: to organize an informal lecture series at local (and supportive) bars/cafes on whatever topics interest intellectually minded folk (Astrophysics? Anthropology? Health and Wellness? You tell me!). The lecture becomes a place to learn, meet other people, have a drink and interesting conversation, or share what you know! At this point, I' …

Hey there! It's been a few years since undergrad and I'm starting to miss seminars. Reading and discussing difficult books with a small group of equally dedicated individuals is a pretty wonderful experience, and seemingly hard to come by outside of an academic setting. I'm not quite ready to quit my job and head back to school, so I thought I'd try and find other like minded folks--too cheap for grad school, but missing the experience of reading in an academic style. I have a comparative litera …

Intelligent, career-driven, hardworking, and in desperate need of a girls' night out. Does this describe you? If so, you're in the right place! Living in the Bay Area as a professional woman is great, except once in awhile I'd like to take a break from work, or the significant other, etc. and just relax and enjoy conversation and a glass of wine over dinner with other similarly situated women. Whether you'd like to expand your social network, are new in the area and want to meet potential fri …

This is a social group of Israelis in the bay area that meet every week or so to play poker, typically at the house of one of the members.  NOTES AND RULES: 1. While Poker is the theme - this is NOT a "professional" Poker players group. If you're looking for a serious intense Poker game, this is not for you. We're here to interact, communicate and have fun. The idea is to enjoy the game and the people, not to win/lose money! 2. Never played Poker before? You're welcome! The rules are pretty easy …

This group is for otherkin in the San Francisco Bay area: elves, faery, sidhe, Tuatha, dragons, angels, nature spirits, unicorns, satyrs, and any other kind of mythical non-human folk. You'd think there would be tons of us here in CA, but over the 14 years I've been awake, I've constantly struggled to find other "others". (I run an otherkin gather here called MythiCalia which had to be cancelled in 2011 due to lack of registrations.) I used to be the organizer of this local Meetup back around 20 …

We'd like to connect with tandem bicycle owners (and tandem lovers if not owners) in and around San Francisco. Let's share our enthusiasm and experiences, swap tips and advice, and of course meet up! As it happens, we founders of this tandem Meetup group are not car drivers. This means that when we go out the door, it is not to load the tandem on the roof of the car and drive to a bike path; when we go out the door, we're tandeming—on city streets, though probably on our way to a reachable bike …
