Do you spend your days being serious, responsible, professional, respectable? Have a stressful job, have bills to pay, have people who depend on you? BEING A GROWN-UP IS HARD WORK!! Every now and then, we need to get out and play - whether it be for just an hour or evening - to reconnect with our inner child and to relax and reenergize.
SILLY DATE! BOSTON is a good clean fun Meetup group in Boston/Cambridge for singles and their friends. Members are fun, friendly, independent and are interested in getting together to meet new people, make new friends, try new and different things, share some laughs, and cut loose in a laid-back and supportive environment.
There is no typical meetup. We will try a little bit of everything.
Some past/upcoming events:
MUSEUMS (ICA, Museum of Fine Arts, MIT Museum) * STANDUP / IMPROV COMEDY (Joe Wong; Nick's Comedy Stop, Lizard Lounge, ImprovBoston, ImprovAsylum) * MOVIES/FILMS (The Muppets, Argo, Lincoln; Coolidge Corner Theater, Brattle Theater, Somerville Theater) * PICNICS (Public Garden/Boston Common, Hatch Shell) * THEATER AND PERFORMANCE (Shakespeare on the Common, National Theatre Live aka NT Live) * DANCING (Contra Dancing, Swing Dancing) * SINGING (Sing-alongs, Karaoke) * LIVE MUSIC (Dar Williams, Will Evan/The Sweet Remains; Berklee School of Music, ICCA Acapella) * FOOD (Dim Sum, Cheap Eats, Ethnic Eats; Taiwan Cafe, Brown Sugar Cafe) * LOCAL FESTIVALS AND EVENTS (Craftboston) * TRAVEL/ DAY TRIPS / WEEKEND TRIPS (Harbor Islands, Beaches, Providence, New York City)
Events start with a rough plan, but once attendees arrive.... we improvise!
Sounds good?
