Peninsula and South Bay 20's-40's Girls who love books is a meetup group in which we meet at various cafes, bars and restaurants and each other's homes on the Peninsula/in the South Bay to discuss books we love. This group will have a focus on different types of literature new and old. The activities of the women in this group are not solely limited to discussing books - sometimes we will also go on try new restaurants, hikes, see movies,...Happy Reading to Everyone!

This group is for anyone who likes the horror and/or sci-fi genres. The members shape the group. There will be a book club, movie nights, new/classic/indie film outings, genre themed game nights and anything else that others may want to do.

Meet and discuss the books from Vaginal Fantasy Hangout on Geeky and Sundry. We will discuss the books and share our insight into what we liked, what we didn't and what we hope they will pick next as well as share what other things we are reading off the list as well.

Poetry, short stories, plays, novels, history, philosophy, science, not necessarily in that order, classics that are worthy of discussion, current and past, western and non-western, these are the works we discuss. The discussion is what is most important. We discuss these works to enlarge our understanding of the ideas that shape our culture and gain a deeper appreciation for what it means to be human.

This group is to bring together kindred souls interested in learning about and meeting people from different parts of the world while doing activities around the bay area that differ from just the ordinary Bar/club scene.

Meet other apocalypse sci fi lovers over drinks at various cozy bars in the city! Each month we will read a book with an apocalyptic setting picked by either the organizer or voted upon by members. P.S. Some people have asked about what the 1.00 fee is/how is it used.... Most meetup events charge a low fee because meetup costs to start a group. (when an organizer makes a group they have to pay before it is posted. This fee helps reimburse me for the money I paid, as well as cutting down on …

So this year we are celebrating 60 years with 007. Sure, Skyfall is a great movie, but what about the books? We'll be reading Ian Fleming's books starting with Casino Royale. Sure we'll talk about the movies: George Lazenby et al but it'll be fun to actually read the original intents. The locales of these books run the gamut from Las Vegas to London to Istanbul to Jamaica to Mahe Island. Hopefully we can find bars/restaurants that correspond to the locales and rap.

I couldn't find a group for slash fans in the area, so I started one! If you like the female-friendly fandom spaces of LJ, AO3, DW, tumblr, are excited for Yuletide, etc, please join up! I'm hoping to have some low key cafe and restaurant meetups, as well as movie meetups and tv nights if people are interested. Also of interest: some people have kindly told me about the San Francisco Bay Area Slashers (SFBAS) yahoo group. They have meetings at rotating locations in the Bay Area every other month …

GROUP CLOSED TO NEW MEMBERS Are you a married woman of Indian origin and would like to connect with other ladies like yourself but can't find a meetup exclusively for married Indian women? Well, then this meetup is for you. There are many single groups but none for married Indian ladies, its about time we have one. Lets face reality, life is very different once you are married. It's difficult to join the single ladies for late nights or get aways. We are mostly busy with our hubbys or if we have …

This friendly group welcomes you to Japan's rich world of artistic animation. Our focus is limited series, an institution in Japanese late-night television. These are not like American TV shows that just add more episodes until the ratings drop. They are planned as complete stories in 12-26 half-hour episodes, sometimes with just one writer and one director. Like movies, most suck, but some are brilliant. We will be watching the brilliant ones. Japanese TV has four seasons corresponding to the q …

Join us on a fun film project! Its a party we serve free food and drinks at every meet up! Our way of saying thanks for your interest in our project.

I am new to San Francisco from the east coast and looking to meet some new girlfriends. I started and was a member of a book club in New Jersey and loved it. This group is for ladies only (sorry boys) in their 20s/early 30s who are looking to meet some new friends and share their love of reading.

Beautiful, inspiring, thoughtful, provoking, insightful, quirky... just some of the words that describe our members; the films are pretty good too. It's back! (like a bad penny). The East Bay Indy/Foreign/Doc film group returns! Do you love really cool under the radar films? Maybe they don't make the billboards or the commercials; you hear about them from a friend or maybe on Fresh Air or you manage to see a preview when attending another gem. Frankly everyone I love big noisy films as much as a …

Although most of us have careers and enjoy a host of other interests from fitness to wine tasting the one common thread is that we enjoy a little intellectual escapism from time to time. The purpose of the group is to help geeks connect with other geeks and while the core events will most likely be socials and get tog …

We are connecting the dots by telling stories: about life we are living, about travel we took last winter, about last movie we saw, about premonition over last night's dream, and about food. Sharing stories over food is a tradition, something we all have done since we were able to recognize lights and sounds. Taken from a dictionary, the definition of "Food" is, a noun: "any nourishing substance that is eaten, drunk, or otherwise taken into the body to sustain life, provide energy, promote grow …
