Yes this is the "movie group" for busy black professionals that love movies! At our core you'll come to realize our simple voting process for movies we see.  Hopefully the selections for restaurants are just as intriguing and mouth-watering as the lists of films. Mixed in with their own flare for the unique and interesting are the "Movie Lovers", our members!  Our member list reads like a Who's Who of down-to-earth, cool and exciting.  You'll sit and discuss with teachers, IT guru's, scientists, …

If you are like me then you may have grown up on comics. We have also seen comics expand into movies, games, digital etc. Over the years, I have gone from DC to Marvel, currently a combination of both plus some new comers. DC has quite a few comics’ book stores, but they aren’t the places to sit back and discuss our experience. I suggest getting together at a local restaurant and having an open discussion on classic story lines and new/up to date material. Feel free to contact me if you have oth …

We are the oxymoron to the geek and nerd stereotype - the "social" nerds and the "chic" geeks. Sure, we love Battlestar Galactica, but that doesn't mean we can't hold our own at a high class social function. Yes, we can debate the finer points of whether Han shot first, but we can also jump into the fray and talk about the latest in pop culture. Although we can explain the relation between a "Hobbit" and a "Halfling" to someone, it doesn't mean that we locked ourselves away from society and stud …

This group is being started for women who live in the Kentlands , Gaithersburg or other areas and wish to meet other women who like to read women authors and make new friends.  We will pick a book by a female author each month and meet to discuss it.  Sometimes we may view movies that have been made from books and compare them to the book.  This will be a chance to make this group what the members want it to be and to get an opportunity to get in on the beginning of the group as it forms.

After reading 'The Shack' by William P. Young, I began this quarterly reading club to challenge myself to read (opposed to pacifying my mind with computers, TV, and movies). I was in the library club in elementary school, and I lost the joy of reading leisurely. 'The Shack' renewed my interest!! Most books I've read can be read within a week for those who make reading a priority. With an abundance of obligations (i.e. church, work, school, [oh yeah... and self]), it takes me a little longer to c …

This is a brand new book club for mamas-to-be in the Bethesda area so we can meet and get to know some of each other before our babies are born.

In addition to book discussions, group activities might include coffee/tea dates, movie nights, hiking on local trails, potlucks, and dining out.

The Ladies of Leisure Book Club is for women who love to read and socialize. We will meet once a month (sometimes once every two months) to socialize, have fun, and enjoy a meal while discussing the book of the month. To mix things up a bit, we will take in a movie from time to time and discuss instead of a book. I'm inviting you to join us if this sounds like a group you would enjoy being a part of.

This is a group to help us get our day started with some walking and talking. Studies show that people who exercise first thing in the morning are more productive during the day and sleep better at night. Also, engaging in good conversation will get the brain going. Studies show that people who engage in social activity early in the day perform at higher cognitive levels throughout the day and are more likely to succeed in their carrer and relationships. Each walk will have a new leader who will …

From Andrew: While living on the west coast, I discovered the "Geek Club", a place for all things to please the inner geek in all of us! When I moved out here, I wanted to find something like that and I started this group. Our event types are really dependent on what the members ask for. Video games, museums, boardgames, movies & book discussions, it's all fair game! The group is open to all ages, genotypes, prototypes, and even meeples!
