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.

This is a group for people who refer to themselves (or have been referred to by others) as Geeks. …or Nerds. …or Hippies. …or Freaks. …or Dweebs. …or Dorks. …or any other miscellaneously mis-fitting, socially non-conforming term that can't be classified as being considered "mainstream" (as if anyone really knows what THAT is), and probably isn't nearly as derogatory today as it was a few decades back, because, these days, we're taking over the WORLD, man! 'Cause we RULE now! (Safety in n …

At any moment, see what your mind is doing. It is going into the past or the future. It is angry about the past or anxious about the future, isn't it?

All the human values that we treasure and cherish - Happiness, Joy, Love, Compassion, Caring, Friendliness, Enthusiasm, Creativity, Relationships - can only be lived and experienced in the present. But, when we are caught up in the chat …

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 …

This group is all about 20-something-year-olds stepping out of their comfort zones and trying new things. The idea is to pick one random thing each week for the group to do together, such as attend a dubstep show, go snowshoeing, visit an art gallery, barhop in Downtown Minneapolis, run a 5k, etc. I started this group because I love doing random things. Recently however, after landing a 9-to-5 job, I haven't been as spontaneous as I would like to be, which is why I created this group: I want us …

This may be an opportunity to share your skill or learn a new one. The group is open to everyone - no previous experience necessary.
