Meeting to discuss our own poetry. Working out chinks in the armor, making improvements, listening for sounds, searching for themes and generally becoming more self-aware as a writer, as well as learning to become better self-critics. And of course a good place to chat with other poets and find community, and lay it on thick with pet peeves regarding the state of poetry. We would also go to occasional readings and maybe if everyone is up to it to an Open Mic as well. We will begin by meeting o …

A group for those who have graphic novels and comics sitting on their shelves and are willing to swap books with others. Whether you are looking to complete your collection, part with your old comics, or just want to try out something new, this group might work for you. I'm starting this group because I have quite a few comics and graphic novels which I have enjoyed, but don't plan on reading again. Additionally, comics and graphic novels can be a pretty expensive hobby. While I will always supp …

The idea behind this group is to offer a place for people interested in wine to experience wine together. Learning about wine on your own is tough and I find quick tastings at wine shops or huge crowded wine events equally unhelpful. Here we can have a small group, take our time, and get to know more about wines and each other. Whether you know nothing about wine or you're an expert, all that matters is that you're interested. My hope is to do small group tastings that I know I always want to d …

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 …

The book club is supposed to be relaxed and social & to bring people together who love to read & want to meet new people in the north side neighborhoods.

We hope to both simply let people know about these events an …

This is a group for all the beautiful, intelligent Chicago/Evanston ladies in their 20s with husbands or serious boyfriends who wanna hang out together.
