The Star Trek Association of Towson (STAT) is a club where science fiction fans gather and socialize through monthly club meetings and an annual convention. Although founded in 1978 by Star Trek fans, STAT long ago broadened its interest to include all SF television shows, movies, books, and science. We put on the Shore Leave convention every July - it is one of the biggest fan-run SF conventions in the Eastern USA. The upcoming convention in July of 2010 marks our 32nd anniversary!

A group for anyone and everyone who loves Science Fiction, Fantasy and Comic Books! Whether you're a hardcore Trekkie or you just happen to have read Lord of the Rings (only ten times!) this is the group for you. We're fans of all things geeky: movies, books, comics and tv. We'll have monthly dinner/happy hours to talk about our favorite media and upcoming events, we'll go to movies and local conventions and above all we'll have a great time!

Every second Thursday of the month we meet downstairs in Politics and Prose's remainder room to discuss science fiction. We are a friendly bunch and our topics have ranged from Scarab-Beetle Head-Sex to how much we all dislike Greg Bear. Some of the books we've read in the past include: The Forever War - Joe Haldeman Yiddish Policeman's Union - Michael Chabon Doomsday Book - Connie Willis Darwin's Radio - Greg Bear Fleck and the Elixer - Rudy Rucker Snow Crash - Neil Stephenson The Sp …

The New Castle County Association of Aspiring Authors is closing. Thanks to all of you who have participated and offered your support to members of the group. I wish you much success in your writing endeavors.

We are a group of writers who enjoy imaginative, perhaps even offbeat, fiction. Our goal is to write well--or at least better--but with the freedom to make mistakes. We are not here to necessarily produce polished, publishable fiction, but to rather to carve out a space where writers can experiment and have fun in a relaxed and supportive environment. Speculative fiction--which includes science fiction, supernatural horror, steampunk, dystopian fiction, magical realism, fantastic allegory, and …

From Andrew: While living on the west coast, I discovered the "Geek Club", a place for all things to please the inner geek in all of us! When I moved out here, I wanted to find something like that and I started this group. Our event types are really dependent on what the members ask for. Video games, museums, boardgames, movies & book discussions, it's all fair game! The group is open to all ages, genotypes, prototypes, and even meeples! From Michael:  Lived here all my life, and wanted to help …

ArtKlub is a group of friends who are local Northern Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, and Washington DC artists that meet weekly for fun, self-education and encouragement, and to obtain critiques and try vet new ideas. Sometimes we're pencil to paper, sometimes we're discussion and goofing off.

If you are like me then you may have grown up on comics. We have also seen comics expand into movies, games, digital etc. Over the years, I have gone from DC to Marvel, currently a combination of both plus some new comers. DC has quite a few comics’ book stores, but they aren’t the places to sit back and discuss our experience. I suggest getting together at a local restaurant and having an open discussion on classic story lines and new/up to date material. Feel free to contact me if you have oth …

Tired of joining book clubs only to end up reading stacks of books that aren't your style?? Think outside the box and join us for something different! Each month, the group will pick a genre, not a book, for the upcoming month. You find a book in that genre that you want to read, then share that book with the group. Yes, everyone reads something different, but we discuss how our books each fit the genre and members get to hear about other books that they might want to read in the future. Possibl …

We are the oxymoron to the geek and nerd stereotype - the "social" nerds and the "chic" geeks. Sure, we love Battlestar Galactica, but that doesn't mean we can't hold our own at a high class social function. Yes, we can debate the finer points of whether Han shot first, but we can also jump into the fray and talk about the latest in pop culture. Although we can explain the relation between a "Hobbit" and a "Halfling" to someone, it doesn't mean that we locked ourselves away from society and stud …

Interested in meeting some cool nerds? That depends on who you define as a nerd, you may ask. You also may wonder who is welcome in the Geeks and Gaymers (spelling intentional) group. While my intention is to create a more LGBT-inclined group of friends, straight allies are very welcome as well. Nerds? Anyone who enjoys any or many of a plethora of interests, including but not limited to: Board Games, Science Fiction (Books, Films, TV, etc), Fantasy (Books/Graphic Novels, Films, TV), Speculative …

This is a book club for anyone around 20-30 years of age, who are single, but tired of the whole bar/club scene and want to meet people over stimulating discussions of literature and current bestsellers... and of course over a plate of food at whatever restaurant we meet up at!

The community of geeky/nerdy girls is growing everyday. But there isn't always someone who can share in your current obsession. Want to share your passion for media, technology, gaming, books, comics, manga, etc? Especially with fellow females of the Lancaster area community? Time to meet up with us. Not only is it fun to talk about Comic book vs Tv show Walking Dead or the Oculus Rift being created through Kickstarter, but learning new things and getting your next book suggestion is a blast whe …

Ever read C. S. Lewis or Tolkien and envied their bond in the Inklings? Wish you could have a beer with N. T. Wright, Brian McLaren, Charles Townes, or Francis Collins? Well...this group can't promise to reach those heights of intellectualism. But we can at least enjoy great conversation, share what we're reading, what we're learning and expand our minds by association, ALL while enjoying a good beer or coffee at one of Baltimore's many great hangouts. I hope we can read each others' work, share …
