Border morris is too much fun, and just a bit dangerous--with danger increased exponentially with the addition of big sticks & alcohol (alcohol optional, big stick de rigeur). After March hits, we get busy rehearsing for upcoming gigs (our first of the year is Ojai Renaissance Festival, April 4-5), & while new dancers can come play with us during those times, we may not have much time for you--so it's always best to email first so we know you're coming, & can welcome you, warn you, or hide. …

I moved to LA from Brooklyn where I ran a Scrabble/Social group that was so fun I'm bringing the idea here. **UPDATE** This group, along with the other message board site, is already a couple hundred strong and its still growing. The meetings are more intimate and casual which can be a difficult atmosphere to achieve with lots of folks. To keep it intimate and swanky there are some rules members need to follow in order to keep from being politely removed from the group: ------------------------- …

Back then it would take many months on sailing ships for the beer to get to India and much of that travel was through ho …

I started this meetup over a year ago and haven't looked back since. I'm in my late 30's (gulp), and am SO not into the bar/club scene or crazy meetups with tons of people. I love board games (U.S.) and pop-culture trivia so I thought I'd start my own meetup group and host regular smaller-scaled game nights in my home. The smaller groups definitely make it easier and more fun in getting to know each other better. We get together once a month or so, play games ranging from DVD Trivia/Pop Culture …
