Meet other local Storytellers and all those who enjoy the art of Story Telling! Inspired by The Moth http://www.themoth.org/podcast Let's gather together and practice the ancient art of story telling. Telling your own stories from your own life or yarns woven from the spirit moving in the moment. It is human to tell the story of our day, of the great hunt or battle, of stocks won or lost, children doing silly things and relationship gone awry. It is how we shake off the turmoil of daily life an …

The renaissance is here, and it brought ice-cream! So, here’s the idea: Ideas. Unfiltered, unencumbered, and unapologetically enthusiastic ideas. Ideas that lead to grease-smeared hands, lavender sorbet, things that go bang, clouds of steam, those goggle-marks you see on crazy chemistry geeks, and some guy (or girl) in the background juggling and swinging from a trapeze. We are a collective of intellectual eccentrics, passionate about learning and our various (and yes, I mean various) arts. Wal …

"Play Dates in Seattle" is a venue for making new friends with a similiar interest: live theatre . Through meetup, we plan "play dates" -- pick a show, pick a date and announce it to the group. We like to add a social component (dinner, drinks, dessert, etc) before or after the show to create social opportunity for friendship to grow. Some of us also have season tickets to certain theaters, but that's not required to join this group. We're a new group, and we're open to other ideas as well. If t …

We are a group of women and a few wonderful men who like to walk and talk every Wednesday morning. We have been the Empty Nesters Walk and Talk Group for over a year but decided that our title, although reflective of our age group, might be too limiting. We have different walking speeds, different interests, different life experiences but we all want to get out and explore the Eastside and sometimes West, sometimes mountain hikes, sometimes chocolate factories! We meet regularly Wednesday morni …

Seattle-area ladies united in the bold pursuit of new friends, drinking, and irreverent fun-making. Lurk no more: if you were wondering where all the fun, creative, independent, literate ladies are, you found us. I started this meetup in part because I felt like so many of the other women-centric meetup groups tend to be a little heavy on the butterfly imagery or Sex and the City connotations.  Or focused around professional networking, babies, or exercise.  And those are all great things--espec …
