So I wanted to start a group for people in my age group (say 25-35 as a ballpark, by no means exclusive though) that could get together and just chill out. I was thinking something along the lines of 'how I met your mother' kind of thing. I just moved here like 7 months ago and it's been hard to build up a coherent group of friends so this seemed an easier way to synthesize one. It'd be cool to have lots of different kinds of people join. I felt like a lot of other groups are too one-dimensional …

Do you like to dance but your friends don't? Do you not know where to go? I know I've been there. In my opinion when it comes to hitting the clubs, the more the merrier! I know there are a couple other dance meetups in the Calgary, Salsa and Ballroom but what if you don't know how to salsa or waltz? Plus you don't have a dance partner :( Anyone can have a few drinks (or none at all) and get on the dance floor and get jiggy with it! Join this meetup and we'll rule the dance clubs of Calgary!

Rule #1: always know where the exits are. This rule is not only important for daily life (zombies notwithstanding, what about fires? Or ninjas?), but in a larger sense, it's important to realize that there is no one right way to live.  Mainstream culture has decided we operate in a pseudo-democratic, consumption-driven global economy.  Okay.  But what if we don't want to? The beautiful thing about rule #1 is that it is a rule made for the present, not the hypothetical future.  It is a rule we c …

Welcome to the Calgary Dungeons and Dragons Meetup Group! Over the past ten years we have welcomed many newcomers, some old school from when the game was first introduced to the public, to the fresh wide-eyed explorer whose interest was piqued by some of the great literature that has inspired the game (or even by the most recent incarnations of Dungeons and Dragons); and through the years our enjoyment of this great game has never diminished. If you have a great sense of humor combined with th …

What is Steampunk? Steampunk simply embodies a time and a place. The time... the late 19th century, the place... a steam powered world, where air travel by fantastical airships and submarines is as common as traveling by car, train, or boat It's  a place where national boundaries and interests are vastly different than our own version of history, where the elegant and refined are as likely to get pulled into a grand adventure, as the workers, ruffians, and lower classes. The idea of space travel …
