From movie nights and scenic walks to trivia nights, dinners, karaoke, cruises, and so much more â thereâs always something happening here!
This year, weâre thrilled to share that Mathew, our incredible Founder and Head Organizer, has been named one of Meetupâs Top Organizers â a well-deserved recognition that highlights the passion, creativity, and community spirit that keep this group thriving.
Whether you're single or in a relationship, new to the city or just looking to expand your social circle, youâre welcome here. Our events are designed to foster fun, friendships, and lasting connections in a supportive, laid-back atmosphere. Many of our members return again and again â some after trying other groups â because TM&SG simply feels different... in the best way possible.
đŹ Love Movies? So Do We!
At TM&SG, we celebrate storytelling in all its forms â from the Good, the Bad, to even the delightfully Ugly. We seek out both blockbuster hits and hidden indie gems, curating a variety of films that spark conversation and bring people together. But we donât stop at the screen â we keep the energy going with countless other social adventures too.
đ Everyone Is Welcome
Creating a warm, inclusive, and respectful environment is at the heart of everything we do. We proudly welcome members of all backgrounds, regardless of race, religion, gender identity or expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, marital status, or social class. We believe everyone deserves equal access to events, opportunities, and information â No cliques. No favourites. Just good vibes and great people.
âš If someoneâs behavior goes against this standard, we take it seriously. We want every member to feel safe, respected, and connected.
So why not take a chance, try something new, and see what happens? Whether itâs your first event or your fiftieth, weâre excited to meet you and share in some amazing experiences together.
Come join the adventure â TM&SG is where stories begin, friendships grow, and fun never stops!

About the show:
After more than 60 years electrifying people all over the world, the mighty, legendary, R&B/Soul kings The OâJays are set to embark on their final tour! Featuring original members Eddie Levert Sr and Walter Williams Sr, who have been singing together since they were kids!
The OâJays are touring history, a connection to an era and a sound that formed the soundtrack for the lives of several generations. In 1972, Gamble & Huff, a team of producers and songwriters with whom the OâJays had been working for several years, signed the group to their Philadelphia International label.With this magic formula, often called The Sound of Philadelphia, The OâJays scored their first number 1 and million-selling song, âBackstabbers:, followed by more chart-topping pop and R&B singles including âLove Train,â âPut Your Hands Together,â âFor The Love of Money,â âI Love Music,â âDarlinâ Darlinâ Baby (Sweet, Tender, Love),â âLivinâ For The Weekendâ and âUse Ta Be My Girl.â
This success propelled The OâJays to be the first black vocal group to perform in arenas throughout America during the 70s and 80s. Eddie Levert Sr, Walter Williams Sr, and Eric Nolan Grant, who joined the group in 1995, continue to thrill fans today.
Throughout their career The OâJays have achieved 10 Gold albums, 9 Platinum albums and 10 #1 hits. Itâs been a long journey but thanks to the fans the LOVE TRAIN is still going strong!
