I'm starting this group because I would like to meet up with a group of good peeps on a regular basis to discuss the issues of the day like health care reform, recycling (just kidding), the bailouts, guns and gun policy, hunting, VA politics, and the answers to questions like, "Why are we here?" over massive quantities of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Guinness:) Actually, just kidding. I don't personally want to get hammered, but a beer or two over some good political and philosophical discussion w …

Have you recently moved to Baltimore? Or maybe not so recently? Are you in need of some social interaction? Do you like food, booze, movies, concerts, sports, festivals etc...? Do you care about buying local, recycling, and giving back to the community? Well then please join my group. I created this group because moving to a new city and meeting like-minded people is hard, especially when you are not in school and work for a small business like I do, with only 3 other employees... This group …

Ever look at something and say, "That costs how much????" Or look in your closet (garage, sock drawer, attic, etc.) and say, "If I had the time I'd sell this stuff or at least try to give this away." Well what if money was no longer in the picture and you could trade some stuff you don't need or want anymore for items you do need! This meet up is for people interested in trading items instead of selling or buying them. After all beauty and worth is in the eye of the beholder. You simply bring it …

Looking for folks who like flea markets, estate sales, auctions, yard sales, the thrill of the hunt. I'm in Arlington. We could get together to figure out the best sales, either go sales together, share tables at sales, talk ebay or live auction strategy, or learn about what we like collecting. Since I started watching Market Warriors (PBS) and auctioning some things as well, I'm obsessed! The sale I am most familiar with is Arlington's Civitan Sale, one Sunday each month from April through Octo …

I love to create different kinds of art and crafts, but it would be even more fun to create art with other women. Crafting can be kind of isolating. Plus seeing what other women are creating is inspiring and fun. If you are interested in meeting once or twice a month to work on projects, exchange ideas, make new friends, possibly enter crafts into area festivals, or take art/craft classes together, then let me know!

I am starting this group because I would love to find people that have the same interest in upcycling, repurposing, and refinishing stuff. This group would get together to talk about DIY techniques or outings to those dirty/junky places other people would overlook. I have not found many people, on my own, that really enjoy this same thing so I decided what better way then with Meetup. I hope to see you at a thrift store near you! If you love Pinterest then this is the group for you! Do you love …

"Crunchy" is a play on "granola-eating hippies."  This meetup group is for moms and dads who consider themselves on the more 'natural side" of parenting/living or for folks who would like to find out what it's all about.  We engage in play dates, field trips, and discussions.  Topics may include, but are not limited to: natural birth attachment parenting baby wearing cloth diapering co-sleeping breastfeeding extended breastfeeding adoptive breastfeeding cross-nursing child-led weaning on-demand …
