The songwriters' club is a bit like an open mic with a few key differences. This group exists for songwriter's who would like to interact with other songwriters. It is similar to an open mic, but with the added benefit of discussion. You can come and play a song or just watch and listen. If you'd like to play, you will tell us all if you are interested in receiving feedback on the song or not. If you are interested then after you play we will all discuss what we like about the song, and any sugg …

If you're single, everyone says to "get out there" and meet people. Well, one place that I spend a lot of time "out there" is LA Fitness, which I visit pretty much every day for an hour. That sounds great, but in reality it seems like everyone I meet at my gym location is married - not that there's anything wrong with that, but that's not the point, right? So I thought, what if I organize informal meetups of bonafide singles at Atlanta area LA Fitness locations? We could enjoy each other's compa …

This group is for anyone who loves soccer and knows an average amount to a lot about what they're doing. We meet at the GA Tech SAC Fields year round. I've been playing on these fields since 2008 until I moved to NYC. But now I'm back and want to get people together who love the game and want to have fun. The fields are open play, you don't have to be a GA Tech student, but GA Tech will often rent their fields out for intramurals and local league sports so we have to alter the schedule from time …

While I love the other Atlanta boardgame meetup groups, I'm finding the weekly drive to the perimeter cumbersome. For some reason, no one seems to have started one closer to Midtown yet. So... All are welcome that enjoy Euro style boardgames or have an interest in learning about them. I will be bringing my own games but would love it if others brought any they'd like to share. I can teach anyone that wants to give it a go. A small sampling of some of the games I can bring and teach: Ticket to Ri …

I created this Meetup group to offer yoga to anyone from the seasoned practitioner to the curious beginner. I live in downtown Decatur and have a private yoga studio to offer affordable yoga those interested in stretching, relieving stress, meditating, breathing, and getting in shape from the inside out. Yoga has changed my life in so many positive ways, including turning me from a "type A" exerciser to a mindful yogini..not to mention toning my body and getting me in great shape. I've began tea …

I have signed up for a program (called Sustainable Selections) that allows me to take expired meat from a national retail grocery chain on a weekly basis. I pay a monthly fee and basically act as their removal service (in place of the renderers that used to take it). It is packaged but all mixed together, so you will have to be prepared to dig through the barrels to get what you want. I will have everything from sirloin to hot dogs and lunch meat - everything you would find at a grocery store. …
