Who Am I? I wanted to make this group because I am so busy with kids and work that I am neglecting my favorite hobby: READING! Who Should Join? If you are a mom with young kids who loves to read and wants to make some close friends through the coming years, then this is the place for you!  I narrowed the area to Cedar Park/Leander so that none of us would have too far to drive.   You're welcome to join from other areas if you're willing to come up here for the meetings. What About The Books? T …

An Austin book club that brings together a group of people who enjoy fantasy and science fiction books, movies, and television. The club engages in a variety of activities, including book discussions, moviie/tv viewing (ie. Game of Thrones), and...well...pub-going, hence the parentheses around 'book' in the club name.

We are the Geeks. We are Whovians, Browncoats, Techies, Trekkies (Classic and NextGen), Jedi Knights, LARPers, board gamers, video gamers, B5ers, comic book fans (both DC and Marvel), and more. We come in every shape and size, and with countless geekish passions. But we also share much in common. We think differently. We share imagination. We share visions of brighter futures and worlds of adventure. We share a passion for figuring out new strategies and trying out new solutions. We share a love …

A writing group for the early birds or wannabe early birds who aspire to get some writing done in the early hours before the day everything. This is not an evaluation or critique meetup (necessarily), but just a shared commitment to starting the day with coffee, camaraderie and keystrokes. May it serve as a building block for your morning writing practice no matter what kind of writing you're doing. At this time there is one weekly meeting, Sunday morning. Saturdays and weekdays have been discus …

Everyone has a book, short story, screen play or something they have thought about writing. This group is about helping you write it. It is basically a think tank to help each other with ideas and sticking points and even give you a push in the right direction. We meet twice a month on Sunday afternoon for about 90 minutes or until everyone decides to leave. If you are kinda lazy about your writing and need a little push and can take a little helpful criticism, and laugh at yourself without gett …

We meet to discuss nonfiction books in a wide variety of genres--science, history, memoir, politics, and beyond! Members can suggest books at any time and we'll vote on three options a month before each meeting. Currently the club meets on the last Wednesday of every month, but if there's a consensus around another time we can make a change. The location varies from meeting to meeting and venue ideas are always welcome! Books we've previously read: June 2013 - "There's a Word for It: The Explos …

Gay Austin Geeks is a social group for like minded LGBT individuals to get together and have fun.  Focused on board and video gayming, sci-fi/fantasy, and anything else that makes you a geek, we strive to be all inclusive and allow for a fun social outlet for everyone. Our Meetups are primarily self driven, with the exception of a large once a month (details pending) meet up for everyone to enjoy.  If you have something you'd like to try and want a group of like minded people to do it with, plea …

Are you an aspiring writer, poet, novelist or other creative wordsmith seeking to find a group of like minded people to come together and encourage and help you feed and keep your muse? Have you been a writer for a long time now, and felt as though you've lost touch with that creative spark? Are you all too familiar with that dreaded literary monster known as "Writer's Block?" Or do you simply feel that you need more true friends, and people who are living the writer's life just as yourself and …

This is a group for individuals interested in reading science related topics and lively discussions. We also thought we'd read a little sci fi now and then as science is fueled by imagination, isn't it? We started this group to socialize and meet fellow book lovers. We're looking forward to meeting all of you--
