You’ve experienced the page turner. The book that’s so compelling it forces you to silence calls, stay up later than your early morning permits, and respond in a brusk and irritated tone to any and all commitments calling you away from the story. A story that’s so good, it makes you want to do something about it. Who’s up for a book club that’s one part reading, one part discussion, and one part action? Let’s read Bukowski one month and hold our discussion in the central library that Bukowski fr …

If you want a book club where we pick a book, have an outlined discussion and only talk about the book, this is not it! Most BOOK clubs are of the "You must read this specific book to hang out with us" variety. Our club, on the other hand, uses whichever title we've picked as more of a jumping-off point and we end up discussing a whole slew of different books, authors, and genres. Sometimes, the subject just goes into an off the wall place. You never know what we end up talking about or doing. T …

  Are you an open minded, fun and cool woman?  Are you looking for a good book discussion? Do you care about social activism? If so, we are the book club FOR YOU!  You'll read a different book every month, from a long ago lost "Classic" to the "It" book flying off the shelves (and everything in between).  We are active in the community, making book donations to the local Libraries, giving money to charities.  We also may have a meeting once a month between our traditional meetings just to catch …

Come out and meet other local comics creators for food, drinks, and peer support. Pull out your current project for feedback, network, collaborate, increase your monthly output... I mean to keep this adaptable to whatever interest you bring to it, and always casual.

This is a brand-new "Hunger Games" fan group. The meetings will include HG related activities.

Tributes are also encouraged to suggest their own Meetups.

Hi, ln our club we love discussing books and their film adaptations. After we've read the selected book, we get together to watch the movie on the big screen or on DVD), then we hang out and discuss both over dinner, tea, coffee or drinks. There are always plenty of opinions when a group has both read a book and watched the movie, and your (respectfully presented) opinion is welcome! The purpose of this club is not only to get motivated into reading, but also to build a strong friendship relatio …

I decided to start this group because I enjoy reading and I'd like to meet other fellow readers in the area. We will meet monthly to discuss a book chosen by a member. We will take turns choosing the month's book based on the first members to sign up. The monthly meeting place will also be determined by the member whose turn it is to choose the book. They can choose both book and location based on convenience, relevance, or any other whim that interests them. Snacks and drinks are not off limits …

I moved to LA from Brooklyn where I ran a Scrabble/Social group that was so fun I'm bringing the idea here. **UPDATE** This group, along with the other message board site, is already a couple hundred strong and its still growing. The meetings are more intimate and casual which can be a difficult atmosphere to achieve with lots of folks. To keep it intimate and swanky there are some rules members need to follow in order to keep from being politely removed from the group: ------------------------- …

Come make some friends and play laser tag (we've got 14 sets of equipment which are free to use for 7 vs. 7  play or every man/woman for his/herself or any combination in between in death match type play or capture the flag).  We play in any outdoor urban environment (UCLA, USC, parking structure) or just in the park or a forest.  Newbies are welcomed as holding a gun-like object is disturbingly natural for most people.    As the title suggests, we also go mountain biking, play tennis, or talk/r …

My husband and I are looking to hang out with other families that practice attachment parenting -parents that use similar language with their children and have a less-intrusive attitude. We're looking to have daytime play groups as well as backyard dinner BBQs where the kids can play and the adults can hang out and drink beer :-)   Now that our 17 month old is playing with other kids more and more, we are noticing that he is getting 'parented' by others that do not practice some version of Attac …

Just get in the Vortex! Come meet and attract like minded people who are interested in the teachings of Abraham as communicated by Jerry and Esther Hicks. This group is for people who are actively working with the Abraham-Hicks material. If you’re not a serious student of Abraham yet, we suggest that you read the books, watch the YouTube videos, listen to the CDs. We’re open to other teachers/teachings and spiritual traditions and it’s okay if those topics come up but our main focus is Abraham. …
