About us
Established Wednesday 12 June 2002 and opened Friday 14 June 2002 with first in-person MeetUp activity Tuesday 2 July 2002, The New York City Sci-Fi/Fantasy MeetUp Group is the oldest continuous still existing active Science Fiction, Fantasy, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Speculative Fiction and/or adjacent, ancillary, associated, complementary, related and/or supplementary genres, MeetUp Group on MeetUp, as old as MeetUp itself, and likely the oldest still existing of any MeetUp Group.
What happens when you put Farscape fans, Stargate fans, Star Trek and Star Wars fans all under the same roof with comic book fans and fantasy fans and even..*gasp*...science fiction writers??????
Answer: They all sit down and talk about scifi. Join us!
The New York City Sci-Fi/Fantasy MeetUp Group is one of the few MeetUp Groups that still regularly meets in-person, in-real-life in the corporeal/material/physical/real/substantive/tangible World, not just virtual online meetings in the ether.
