The original Not Oprah Approved Book Club! Since 2008, we have been reading Oprah shunned books and we would love you to join us! Our meetings and members are quite laid back. If you don't like a book, you don't have to finish it (please give it a try though - first chapter or even first few pages). The meetings are half talking about the book and half catching up with each other. New people are always welcome! Members select books as a group at each meeting. We want your book suggestions. Any t …

This is a group for people who refer to themselves (or have been referred to by others) as Geeks. …or Nerds. …or Hippies. …or Freaks. …or Dweebs. …or Dorks. …or any other miscellaneously mis-fitting, socially non-conforming term that can't be classified as being considered "mainstream" (as if anyone really knows what THAT is), and probably isn't nearly as derogatory today as it was a few decades back, because, these days, we're taking over the WORLD, man! 'Cause we RULE now! (Safety in n …

Mission: Ideally, we’d like 6-8 regular attendees to monthly contribute 8-12 pages (double-space, 12 pt font) of commercial fiction*. Format: workshopping. Intention: Everybody ‘gets time’. Motto: Always honest, but never mean. 6-8 regular attendees. Regular implies some level of commitment and allows for remembering each other’s plot lines, characters, revisions, etc. We’re trying to create a writing lab, a safe haven from the writing jungle: a ‘place’ to nurture experimentation + take chances …

Do you easily get lost in the pages of Margaret Atwood, Octavia Butler, William Gibson, China Melville, Alistair Reynolds, Dan Simmons, Neal Stephenson, and/or Connie Willis ? Have you seen the film "2001" _and_ read the Arthur C. Clarke book? Do you comb the list of Nebula award finalists for rising sci-fi authors? Then this group is for you! The group will mainly focus on recent sci-fi, although I won't mind a little excursion to Philip K. Dick or Ray Bradbury. The sub-genres of the texts we e …

If you have been scared away from other wellness classes because they're too hardcore or too crunchy - you've finally found your place. The word "yoga" literally means union - we want to bring people together - because, after all, isn't geeking out with others a lot more fun?! The YQdio will offer "regular" yoga, in addition to our Original flavor - as well …

Calling all fans of the Fantastic. Whether you can't wait to watch the next great epic SCI FI /Fantasy show, play the next great video game or discuss the merits of Sandman VS Spiderman, we all want to discuss and share our passions. I started this group because I'm excited to meet new people who share the same interests as I do. It'd be great to meet up for some good food, a cold beverage and spend some time learning about the newest thing or discussing some classics. Outings to movies, comic s …
