Intellectually curious? If you love the Resident Associate lectures at the Smithsonian, taking advantage of the latest quirky offer from Groupon, or just exploring all the unusual and somewhat geeky things the DC metro area has to offer, this group is for you. We get together and explore the lectures, exhibits, plays and off beat activities of DC, while meeting new people. Our members tend to be in their mid twenties to mid-fifties, but all are welcome.

If you're a builder of web things or a creative designer, writer, or UXer who wants to get out of the house (or office) a bit, then come join us. We'll be the group of people nerding out over laptops in various coffee shops and art spaces around Arlington, Virg. This *is* a meetup catered to entrepreneurially minded folks who like to brainstorm actionable ideas with each other while developing, designing, writing, or making cools things. This *is not* a meetup group (a) to solicit web work (b) …

Coming into 2012 the Tech Meetup has been solely underwritten by the Digital Dynamo and has sponsored the Tech Meetup with attendees from The Capital PC User Group (CPCUG).

From Andrew: While living on the west coast, I discovered the "Geek Club", a place for all things to please the inner geek in all of us! When I moved out here, I wanted to find something like that and I started this group. Our event types are really dependent on what the members ask for. Video games, museums, boardgames, movies & book discussions, it's all fair game! The group is open to all ages, genotypes, prototypes, and even meeples! From Michael:  Lived here all my life, and wanted to help …

ArtKlub is a group of friends who are local Northern Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, and Washington DC artists that meet weekly for fun, self-education and encouragement, and to obtain critiques and try vet new ideas. Sometimes we're pencil to paper, sometimes we're discussion and goofing off. We are there to create, inspire, and share.  We help hold each other accountable to making deadlines for commissions, when asked to do so. This is not like book club, sipping tea and having intellectua …

The purpose of this group is to bring together geek chicks in western Fairfax County (Clifton, Centreville, etc.) who are looking for IRL friends. Maybe you have a lot of friends in other places, but no friends in your neighborhood to meet for coffee, lunch, video gaming, etc. This group aims to bring together those folks to start friendships.

I know there are some nice, liberal 20s-30s brainiacs out there in Bethesda...and I think it's past time for everyone to meet up! If you are an open-minded "young professional" dork, geek, science nerd, etc (you get my drift) but you also love being social and having a glass or two of wine, come on out and enjoy a happy hour with like-minded folks. People often message me about the age range -- we're a fairly young group!  If you're looking for something a bit different but still Nerdy, check ou …

There was one book in college that especially amazed and confounded me: James Joyce’s Ulysses. With a reader’s guide on my lap I eventually did made it to the final glorious yes, but I was fully aware that most of the novel’s depth and richness had washed right over the limited pathways of my mind. It’s been awhile, but I’d like to take another stab at it. This time I’d like to start by properly fortifying myself by doing some necessary supplemental reading. And while I’m at it, why not meet som …

To be frank I am looking for good people to hang out with during the weekday. I jealously reserve the weekends and evenings to spend with my spouse. Age, sex, and all the rest does not matter. The interests are all mine and are not required either. This is in no way a dating group. I simply enjoy talking to people and learning about their lives. All meetups will be in public places, so no worries. Hope to see you soon.

We are the oxymoron to the geek and nerd stereotype - the "social" nerds and the "chic" geeks. Sure, we love Battlestar Galactica, but that doesn't mean we can't hold our own at a high class social function. Yes, we can debate the finer points of whether Han shot first, but we can also jump into the fray and talk about the latest in pop culture. Although we can explain the relation between a "Hobbit" and a "Halfling" to someone, it doesn't mean that we locked ourselves away from society and stud …

I know there are some nice, liberal brainiacs out there in Bethesda...and I think it's past time for everyone to meet up! If you are an open-minded dork, geek, science nerd, etc (you get my drift) but you also love being social and having a glass or two of wine, come on out and enjoy a happy hour with like-minded folks. This is an extension of the original young-professional-centric BNW, put in place for those nerds who have emailed BNW about the typical age range and decided to not join because …

Nerdfighteria is the community that sprung up around the VlogBrothers on YouTube - brothers John and Hank Green. We believe in the nerdy-life, making the world a better place, and just having a blast while we do it. The general community tends to skew to a younger demographic, so Adult Nerdfighters began a few groups on Facebook to connect with other likeminded awesome people in their own age group. We thought that a Meetup group would be the best way to organize events and shenanigans! If you t …

We're a group of folks in DC who are interested in learning about web development, mobile development, Ruby, PHP, and maybe even starting a small business. But we're not experts, that's why we're using Treehouse (teamtreehouse.com) as a learning tool.

If you're interested in getting started in the world of development, or if you want to take your skills to the …
