WHY THIS GROUP: As a 48 year old lesbian I am committed to maintaining my health through healthy life choices and physical activity. For several months I have been on a quest to find other women my age who are active. For the most part this search has taken me outside my circle of intimate friends, and I have connected to a small group of wonderful women who also enjoy moving their bodies. However, I keep thinking there must be other women our age who like to play. After all, we are all so norma …

We're here to discuss issues related to practice, but not necessarily the details of actual practice. We have a wide range of interests and have several different discussion topics each meeting.

Ever hear about the Art Salon of Paris in the 1800's and New York in the early 1900's. Our artist friends agree that we need a place today to gather, discuss the arts, show current work and reflect on past artist's work. It is an experiment, testing to see whether the topics that intrigue us have meaning and significance beyond a select few, and seeking to create a time/space within which we can stir a lively, rigorous discussion about the state of art - local, national and international - yours …

I've been a Nintendo fan since the days of the NES. The Wii U is going to be released in two months and I'm excited to play it. But let's face it; you can't have "asymmetrical gameplay" without a handful of people to play asymmetrically with. This meetup group will focus on gathering in public spaces to get our fill of Nintendo's brand of multiplayer excitement. All experience levels are welcome. And the classic "blue turtle shell" effect present in almost all Nintendo games tends to assure that …
