Yes, really, here's another book club. Do I have a fantastic uniquely creative concept to draw you in? Well, I like to think I am moderately creative, but basically I just want a group to read books we all select, get together for a glass of something and a few (hopefully decadent) snacks and seriously talk about the book we have read. I have been in other book clubs and they did not work out for me because of location, meeting day or time, or because they just fell apart. I hope to structur …

Get together with other local Veterans, Reservists and National Guard Soldiers (including Air Force, Marines, Navy and Coast Guard) and do outdoor activities with others who know what it's like to serve or have a family member who serves. It is a place to meet other Veterans somewhere other than a bar or club - I don't mean to imply that the VFW and American Legion are just bars or clubs - they do much more than just provide a place for Vets to get together and toss back some cold ones, and I'm …

This book club may or may not be currently open to new members.  Due to the personal nature of book club discus …

Another happy hour group, but one with a specific area in mind. If you live or work in or near downtown Minneapolis, this one should be easy to get to and from.  Everyone is welcome though.  Relax after work, enjoy a cold drink, and meet some new people. I started this group since I live downtown but travel a lot and work out in the middle of nowhere.    So I figured there's got to be others who are in the area, but looking for people to join them and meet new people...

This is a group for the academically-minded to get out of the lab/office/hospital and meet people from beyond the scope of their departments. Grad/med/law students, post-docs, interns, residents, or those in the early phases of their careers can enjoy getting together and taking a break from the world of peer-reviewed journal articles and coffee-fueled marathon workdays. We’ll start with some good old-fashioned happy hours and hopefully expand to other meetups from there. Looking forward to it!

For anyone interested in discussing and reading great books on politics, technology, culture, and history, this is the club for you!

Even if you haven't read the book of the month, feel free to show up and listen to what other people are saying about it.

This group is most likely to be enjoyed by women, though any grownup who appr …
