Let's make some funny videos and post them online. Hello, my name is Wes and I'm looking to put some like minded people together to produce short comical videos to post online. My role in this would be that of the organizer/creative director. A Lorne Michaels type figure, if you will, who leads with an iron fist and has final say in what goes out online in our name.

We post an optional writing exercise, and if there are takers, we read and comment on their work. Occasionally we hold ha …

Thank you so much for looking into the Get Trapped in a Book Writing Group. Writing a book can be lonely and intimidating when you are trying to go it alone, but often when writers get together they do more talking than writing. This is a friendly but focused group. We work in 45 minute SILENT sessions with a short break. It is not a critique group, not a writing class, not a plotting or brainstorming party and not a workship. We work QUIETLY together. It is for writers who would like the struct …

Why This Meet up? There are numerous Singles Meet up groups out there, of which I have tried a few. Unfortunately, what I found is those groups don’t really bring people with common interests together, as long as they cater to happy hours, everyone jumps in. Subsequently, you get a bunch of total strangers with nothing in common except the alcoholic drinks in their hands. It has got to be a better way for singles to socialize!!!! How about an intelligent conversation with a couple of laughs ov …
