What is a salon?

1. grand sitting room: an elegantly furnished room in a large house where guests are received and entertained

2. social gathering of intellectuals: a regular gathering of prominent people from the worlds of literature, art, music, or politics, especially one held at the home of a wealthy woman. Salons were especially popular in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.

3. place for hairdressing or beauty treatments: a commercial establishment where hairdressers or beauticians work, sometimes part of a larger store or a hotel

4. expensive clothes shop: a shop selling elegant or fashionable women's clothes, especially expensive designer clothes

5. art exhibition or gallery: an art exhibition, especially one devoted to the work of living artists, or the hall in which the exhibits are displayed

This group caters to the second definition; social gathering of intellectuals.

Ever just want to talk about what is going on in the world (past, present or future) with a group of fun, diverse and intellectual individuals. You know the kind--the get more fun and intellectual the more wine they drink kind

Are librarians becoming extinct?
If I were in charge of revitalizing Haiti I would start by....
Designer condoms anyone?
What is up with the Tea Party?

Anyone interested in a little fun intellectual stimulation? No high-brows allowed - save that for the French Language Meet-up :)
