A group to make friends with other women new to Chicago, have a cocktail or dinner, a good laugh, and enjoy an interesting read. We currently meet once a month to discuss a book selection, but are also branching out for happy hours, movies, festivals and other adventures. Our members tend to range in age from 20s to mid 30s, but all are welcome!

There are several book clubs out there but they either seem to be disbanding, specialized or for women only so I decided to start this one. I am the former organizer of a large book club in Nashville which, I'm proud to say, is still going strong and I hope to bring that same success to this one. I had the opportunity to read a lot of great books I may not have picked up on my own and I hope to be introduced to even more! This is a co-ed bookclub that will meet once a month, at local coffee sho …

Calling all women of Northbrook (& nearby)! I'm hoping this group helps to create a strong, close-knit community of women in the Northbrook area.

To cover the spectrum: From light-hearted, fun social gatherings (game nights, movie nights, wining, dining, comedy shows, musicals, etc.), to more adventurous activities that we've a …

This is a group for people interested in Steampunk with some passion for science fiction, history, and sane, intelligent conversation. We are kindred spirits with an interest in alternate historical imaginings. We will watch movies, read books, listen to Steampunk music, talk ideas, and find places, primarily in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, to dress as and explore our characters. Inclusive, welcoming, but not kinky.  We are travelers of time and the imagination.

Sometimes being a geek girl is a lonely experience. It's hard connect with other women when they're staring at you funny because you're trying to explain your theory that the nature of a child's mutation stems partially from genetics as seen in Polaris and Magneto, but mostly from some sort of trauma before puberty - the time in which most mutants first exhibit abilities. Ex: Nightcrawler wanted to disappear because of his demonic appearance, and he did. You flashed 'em a little bit of your geek …

This meetup group was originally developed to explore the meaning, possibilities and potential of time travel. Many books, movies and TV shows have been created, such as The Time Tunnel and The Time Machine, with fascinating and often absurd notions of how time travel can take place. However, can time travel even exist? If so, what is the potential for mankind? Together with time travel there are many other fascinating physical "impossibilities" such as teleportation, faster than light travel, …

Join us for Beatles parties, movie nights, book clubs, and other fab events.
