League of Legends is also a popular title with us. We want to create a friendly, enjoyable environment for all kinds of gaming. Members should be familiar with the games, but do not need to b …

All inclusive dance calendar for the Twin Cities area to cut across genre of music and type of dancing. There is something for everyone in the Twin Cities!!! About ten years ago, Jim Uttley started his personal dance calendar on pen and paper so he would know where the hot spots of the evening and what his choices were. As fellow dancers saw him glance and refer to this calendar, they began to ask for a copy to which Jim was happy to oblige. This calendar soon grew into a 20 page Word Document, …

'Cause we RULE now! (Safety in n …

This meetup combines two of my favorite things:  Comedy and Drinking. The Minneapolis area has several great venues for live comedy including standup, improv, and sketch, so let's experience it and make some new friends at the same time. The Minneapolis area also has a number of wineries and wine bars.  I like wine, but drinking alone has such a social stigma, so Meetup to the rescue.  Expect to see events at wineries, wine bars, restaurants with nice wine lists, and maybe even a wine bus.

Hello! This group is for more or less seasoned screenwriters. We will come together in order to encourage each other with new and on-going projects. Members will also have an opportunity to help each other with the actual production and presentation of their works - either in staged-readings or actual shoots. I started the Paris Screenwriters Meetup, which is still on-going and is being led by our co-organizer. I have relocated (at least temporarily) to Minneapolis and would love to get togeth …
