This is a meetup group for desi film/movie lovers from any culture or background. Although the primary focus will be on Hindi ("Bollywood") movies, we can change things up once in a while up with movies in other languages (Malyalam, Urdu, Tamil, etc.). We'd like to start with simple Movie outings and maybe some Dinner + Movie nights. These could be at theaters or at someone's place (it would have to be for movies that aren't newly released).

If you are a gay male 21 and older and live in Northen Cook, Lake or McHenry counties in Illinois or southern Kenosha county in Wisconsin, you may feel isolated from other gay men who live nearby, because you do not know how to get in touch with them.

This is primarily a gay male social group, but we are open to all positive attitude …

Outdoor Movie Nights! When Chicago's warmer summer weather allows it, we set up an outdoor movie night each month to take advantage of the season (generally May - Sept). In October, when it gets a bit too cold for movies, we set up a haunted house and pumpkin patch. The lawn space opens early for people to spread out their picnic blankets, mingle with their friends and neighbors, and grab a bite to eat. Before show time - we grill out and BBQ for a few hours while we wait for dusk. People are e …

When I first moved to Chicago 3 years ago, there was a group that met at the Landmark Century Centre Cinema once a month. That group moved too far into the art house scene for my taste, so I'm making my own. The plan: One Tuesday a month, descend on the Landmark at 7pm. Break up into groups based on the film, that way you can see whatever you want. Afterwards, reconvene at a bar around the corner to chat. Plus more. Suggested meetups are for people who want to organize an actual meetup, not prom …

Hi ladies! I reside in the Lake County, IL. area, & have found that there are not many if any interesting groups on this site for those of us in the far north west suburbs. All the great groups of people appear to be located in Chicago! I myself did not wish to travel all the way to the Chicago land area on a weekly or monthly basis to meet new people, or to make a new friend, especially being that the individuals in the group that I had attended did not wish to do the same for me! NO bueno! Thu …

We are a non-for-profit meetup group developed to support the little Queer Film Festival in Chicago. Our goal is to foster a community of passionate volunteers to acquire and showcase quality queer films. Mainstream theaters are hard to come by. We seek small, intimate venues such as wine bars, music lounges and art galleries conducive to social/mingling and make high quality independent programs more accessible to our community. Here are some of our ideas of future meet ups: 1. Women's movie ni …

Looking to meet new people in the gay community without having to go to the city? Look no further! This group will hopefully serve as an opportunity for those of us in the northern suburbs to make new friends and plan fun and unique social outings. It can be difficult finding other local LGBT folks when we're limited to the downtown scene. The lack of suburban venues for the gay community can often feel isolating, so let's change that! I welcome anyone to join this group, and I look forward to t …

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. I'd like to help connect women in the area and build new friendships. I'd also like us to capitalize on our collective experiences, wisdom and passions. For what purpose? 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 of people that get together each Tuesday night to get to know each other. We always eat dinner together. Every other week we play triva at a local bar or have a game night. On the other weeks, we hang out and then spend sometime reading the bible and listening to what God is saying to us...Sound like a weird combo...Jesus might be more fun than you'd think. If you want to make friends, have fun, and look into the God thing (or pursue it more), we're the group for you.
