What we’re about
Meeting new people is a challenge and do you ever find yourself having more than enough things to do but no one to do it with. Expect an eclectic mix of activities ranging from happy hours to movies, plays or concerts, live music, dancing, and outdoorsy stuff like kayaking or bicycling and more (whatever randomly pops in our heads or you suggest). Expect food of some sort before, after or during many events.
This group is for people who don't take themselves too seriously and want to meet others in small groups.
If you want to be an event host so you may post an outing just let us know. The cool thing about hosting is you pick, the what, where and when of things that you want to do!
Please invite others to join our group to help it be vibrant.
Welcome aboard!
Don't send instant messages through meetup to folks you haven't met. Propositions to meet outside of meetup events to a virtual stranger is creepy. Of course a relevant message to an event host regarding an upcoming meetup is different.
Thank you for that consideration.
Players there are plenty of other sites if you just want to hook up one on one, don't make folks feel unsafe here. If you have done a meetup with someone and want to send them a good to see/meet you followup to me that is totally different, but if they do not reply or aren't interested don't be a "meetup creep". Of course it's great if folks "meetup" and some magic develops. So please remember while it is fun to "meetup", this group is not "hookup.com" or "match.com". Not everyone here is single or seeking a romance.
Remember if you receive an unsolicited message or suspicious or inappropriate behavior, please report it to Paul S, it is grounds for immediate dismissal of violating party. They probably are spamming others here and in other groups. We will ban them.

Introductory Latin Dance Class and Dance Party
$10. Prior participants welcome. New format! Rather than 1 step in about 4 dances
WE will learn steps in 3 or 4 different dances.
- Bachata, you can dance this to latin songs and it is fun to blues too
- Rumba (very useful on slow songs to be a little more sophisticated than just doing that 7th grade snuggle we did)
- Salsa, very popular and sexy, learn a couple easy steps with us
Plus to learn a fun easy line dance you see at most Pinellas venues or weddings, the Cupid Shuffle.
Watch youtube.

About the show
Share an intimate evening of original songs and the stories that inspired them by singer songwriters Geri X and Sam Hastings. In a world where gigs often demand the “hits,” loud rooms, and endless entertainment, this evening will be a reset button. It’s a chance for the songwriters to share the songs that don’t make the setlists — the ones that dig deep, the ones that reveal who they really are as people. And it’s a chance for audiences to experience music in its most human, unpolished, and ardent form.
About the songwriters
Geri X – Professional sad person and internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter, bringing her signature raw honesty and storytelling. https://www.facebook.com/GeriXofficial
Sam Hastings – Sam’s songs are rooted in sincerity and depth, drawing listeners into experiences that feel both personal and universal. His music finds beauty in vulnerability and truth in the quiet moments we often overlook — a rare mastery of intimacy and emotional force.
