Boston has many venues such as the MFA, HFA, Brattle, Coolidge Corner, and local libraries offering movies which demand more from the audience than the typical Hollywood fare. We view the selected film and then go to a nearby restaurant to discuss. Sharing thoughts and ideas from the multiple perspectives gathered, we learn from each other and also have some fun. The goal of the group is to create a community for people who are interested in film and with that in mind, please RSVP with consid …

We pick a movie and meet there. Sounds easy, cause it is! Afterward, we'll grab a bite or get a drink. Feel free to suggest new Meetups. Also check out Noho Film Group and our Facebook page. -Jonathon Podolsky Movies@Podolsky.cc

Welcome to Maha's Meetups! My name is Maha. I have quite a few interests and several passions which I enjoy sharing with others. Rather than creating a Meetup group for each one I figured I'd simply put them all in one place! (It's also cheaper!) The meetups here reflect my personal interests and so a suggestion to have a Boston Red Sox party is simply not going to happen! :) Current Maha Meetups: Maha Kirtan Gita Yoga Pickup Soccer Movie Night Detailed Descriptions: 1) Maha Kirtan Maha Kirt …

No club, if it wants to survive, can open itself to all comers. Clubs depend on exclusivity; if the conditions of membership aren’t enforced or argued away by the more insincere members, it dies or becomes something only faintly resembling what it set out to be. Let me begin, then, by telling you exactly what I want this club to be. Once a month, Bostonians who enjoy reading aloud great literature will gather at one of city’s premier watering holes to do just that. (Dive bars won’t provide the q …
