At least once a month, we vote on a graphic novel or trade paperback to read. Then we get together to discuss. It's just like a book club, but with comics! From time to time, we'll also have other comic-related events to attend - movies, conventions, and anything else you can think of that might appeal to fans of sequential art. If you're on Facebook, you can join in the group discussion here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/NYCComicsAndGraphicNovels/

Not all creative people are looking for criticism.  Some just want inspiration, friends, and the chance to be creative with others who just get it.  While originally a writers' group, this group is going to tour great coffee houses, where members will have the opportunity to do art or writing alongside each other.  We'll be each others' cheerleaders on our journey, whether that be writing your memoir, standing in front of a microphone reading a poem or singing out loud, or just having friends to …

This Meetup Group is for people with an interest in all-things-science to get together, and not just on Saturdays. Maybe you often find yourself starting to tell a science-related story at a party, only to trail off awkwardly when you realize that you're not as clear on the details as you thought. Or your friends are hinting that they'd really rather not hear about Planet Earth anymore. Quite possibly, while others reminisce about Saturday morning cartoons, you fondly recall watching Mr. Wizar …

Do you need people to drink shamelessly with in order to summon the courage to get on stage to croon in front of a large crowd of karaoke g …

We toil in obscurity, trying to write the next great historical novel. Or maybe just the *next* historical novel. Few who have not tried it understand the woes of the historical writer: you do not know your world as well as a writer of contemporary stories, and yet you are not as free to invent it as a fantasy or sci-fi writer would be. Still, there is something uniquely satisfying in transporting readers to a different time, or using real events and places as a backdrop for a story that gives t …
