Exploring the culture and night life of Chicago can get expensive. This is a meetup group for things a little more on the inexpensive side- a great for parties, discount theatre tickets, bar discounts, free billiards nights, free days at museums, trips to the zoo, etc. The less expensive it is to go out, the *more* we can all get together! We'll see if we can get group discounts to some events, explore some "free days" at museums, go visit cheap greasy spoon diners, throw parties, etc. I'm a …

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). However, we'd like to expand into more creative ones s …

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 …

This is a group for Christian believers who love to enjoy life and get away from the mundanities of life. From 1-4 hour festivities to mini-vacations, we can get away from the ordinary! Bible studies and church events are great, but this group focuses on exhibiting what we learn in Christ outside of a church setting understanding that a believer's life should demonstrate the Love of God in interactions with people and gatherings outside of the church. The Word of God tells us to: "Be wise in the …

So you're bored, I mean like really bored and you decided to sign up for meet up. There are some crazy folks out there and meeting them in private at a local spot still seems disheartening. He might be bald or she might have 10 kids and three divorce under her belt..yea, crazy shit. My goal for this meetup group is to occasionally hit up clubs/bars and dance our asses off. Maybe grab some last minute tickets to go see a-no-longer-in-his-prime-but-is-still-trying comedy show, a good laugh is alw …

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.

What happened to us??!! If your like me, your single or divorced, busy with a full time job, and with commitments at home which don't allow you much time for yourself. I find myself spending way too much energy on the daily grind instead on having fun, staying active, and investing some time in myself.

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 …

Welcome to the Friends of Bill Morton meetup group!

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 …
