We're an autonomous collective of like-minded young (at heart) people who share a love of the arts and the creative process in general. I started this group because there are tons of us in this city, but for some reason, we all seem to be scattered or otherwise barred from connecting with one another in a meaningful way. So, I figured that even the littlest excuse can help bridge that gap. To read a makeshift manifesto for the group, click here: http://www.meetup.com/Twenty-Something-Artists-Wr …

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 …

This is a "close reading" book club. It will utilize a different format than most clubs. Most book clubs discuss a book in one session. There are a small number of "close reading" meetups around, in which members discuss a book over a large number of sessions. I am not starting the latter type of group, because I recognize that it will be hard to find time to attend, say, a dozen meetups about a single book. So the format of this meetup will be a COMBINATION of online message board discussion - …

Hi I am Aili. I just moved back to Seattle after living in New York for three years and graduating from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. While I am living in Seattle I am working on a screen play. As you may know when you are writing a screenplay you spend a lot of time by yourself cooped writing; that being said, I have not met a lot of similar minded people yet.
