We gather to share a unique perspective that belongs to people of asian descent and to cele …

Meet other local surfers to share stories, help out new people to the sport, talk waves, and plan outings and surf. This is a group of local surfers looking to meet one another and be social. This is a very social group. It is very difficult to 'plan surf' here in New England, as the surf can be very sporadic. We plan surfing events when possible, but many of our events will be of the social nature including beach clean ups, surfrider fundraiser events, after work cocktail hours, and other even …

Let's talk about money. Most people today have little, no, or faulty information about money. How to earn it, save it, or invest it -- in a smart and succesful way. Let's talk about HOW MONEY WORKS. I have knowledge to share, and I want to learn from you as well. There's always room to improve each others' lives. I want to start this group with a discussion of Lynne Twist's new book, The Soul of Money: Reclaiming the Wealth of our Inner Resources. But ideally, I want to LEARN FROM YOU and use th …

Living On Purpose: Starting the Year with a Powerful Resolution and Resolve Each year, we make a commitment to ourselves for ourselves: to change something. Or to give something up. Or maybe to start a new project, or learn something. For most people, the coming year is going to be very important on many levels – financially, our relationships / interrelationships, and in our personal development. And the New Year is a powerful time to create this change and prepare for the coming year. We can c …

As teachers who love to travel, we’re interested in saving this group!! Our plan is to organize monthly gatherings where teachers can socialize, share war-stories, and ideally, make connections with other people who like to travel and have the same vacation schedules. We’re not necessarily planning to organize any trips at the moment, but rather to provide a means for teachers to network with each other. If at any point someone is interested in organizing a trip or other adventure, however, the …

Please note that you must have a recognizable picture of yourself that includes your face as one of your Meetup photos in order to have your membership request approved.  This is so that our event organizers can recognize you at our events.  Thank you! Welcome! This group is for those in Boston who like to play strategy (and slightly silly) games and be social at the same time. It is perhaps easiest to break this down word by word: Strategy games: We will not be playing Apples to Apples, LCR, or …

Hey all, this group is for people that are new to the awesome city of Boston (or surrounding areas)! Since this group was formed early last summer we've done a little bit of everything: going out to dinners, grabbing drinks, visiting museums, brewery tours, ice skating, going to comedy shows, bowling, and exploring specific areas of the city. Our crowd is usually half regulars, half newcomers so don't be shy if you've never done meetup before! Organizers make sure there are always a lot of fun e …

As I write this (30 May 2012), we're heading into summer, when everyone is planning vacations and otherwise looking for ways to relax and, especially, to have a good time.  What better way to have a great time than to listen to live music, dance, and meet new people?

For the present, I've closed the group to new members.  We're pretty far into a specific graduate text on differential geometry and it would be impractical for anyone to play catchup at this point.  The group will reopen when we finish this course of study (or if I decide to include more general meetings).  Thanks for your interest and please feel free to contact me. Are you interested in reviewing or rounding out your knowledge of graduate-level mathematics?  The purpose of this group is to und …

The plan is to get started with a few casual meet-ups, i.e. trivia nights, bowling, happy hours, etc. to get a feel for things and then step it up with some bigger trips, like snowboarding and golf outings.

It's time to rekindle the group for the new year, and there are a few changes.  I welcome your thoughts on them. 0.  First, let me address some questions people have asked.   This is a writing group, not a critiquing group.   You don't need to distribute work ahead of time or do any homework.   You can write anything you want; there is no preferred genre or style.  You can come as frequently or infrequently as you wish.   You can RSVP or not, show or not.   We do not charge, we do not judge. 1.  …

The new language of video is pervasive. It has become the medium for training, entertainment, social advocacy, promotion, and just plan diversion. Creating short (less than 10 minute) well crafted stories requires a small group effort that moves us from our reliance on the online world to face to face collaboration with like minded creative people. This meet up group will bring together small teams of creative individuals to work together to conceptualize, plan, execute and critique short video …
