We are a group of kind, mindful people who enjoy simple pleasures such as the company of friends. We will get together for indoor fun such as movies, board games, party games, Wii, dinner parties, and the like. I'm open to suggestions for events.

The Marin Film/Foodies is a group of like-minded men and women who enjoy a wide variety of movies. Whenever possible, we try to match the ethnic cuisine of the film, but otherwise the goal is just to share a good meal and conversation after a movie.   We primarily watch movies in Marin County. We regularly patronize the Rafael Film Center, but also visit mainstream cinemas and other local venues. Very rarely we will venture outside Marin and go to a specialty cinema in the East Bay, San Francisc …

"I am eye. I am a mechanical eye. I, a machine, am showing you a world, the likes of which only I can see."  — Dziga Vertov   This is a group dedicated to providing a space for other documentary lovers to meet, see, and discuss rare, hard to access documentary films. My wife and I are both passionate about documentary film, and are constantly surprised that they get so little exposure. We thought a meetup group would be a great way to try and change this, as well as hopefully meeting some kindre …

Our basic mission: To see significant and/or interesting films playing in the greater San Francisco Bay Area and then to go somewhere close by afterwards to eat, drink, share company and discuss the films we just watched. The philosophy of the BAFS is to allow a network of wonderful Assistant Organizers to thrive and coordinate film outings at least every other week. Our goal is that this horizontal arrangement can continue, and that potential member hosts will schedule outings in the South, Eas …

I ran a cinema for many, many years, and what I loved the most was talking to folks about their experience of the films. In this meetup group, I hope we can create special, memorable filmgoing experiences where we can gather in an interesting venue, see a film together, and enjoy chatting over coffee, drinks or dinner. All suggestions for venues, films and gathering spots are welcome.

Enjoy film? Like discussions that move beyond likes and dislikes and explore the ways character and circumstance in film reveal true aspects of life and the ways humans relate deeply (or don't)? In this group we'll meet at the Landmark Theater in Berkeley for matinees on some Saturdays--September through November, view artful films, and then stroll to a local cafe' for discussion and coffee/tea for about an hour. Join for one, Saturday a few, or all four. Potential for movie and dinner as a fun …

Like the South Bay chapter.... "This meetup is here to help provide a social location for those looking for something a little less mainstream. We're a non-judgmental group who loves geeking out just as much as YOU DO!" The South Bay group has had such a great response, we thought there might be enough geeks in the peninsula area to make a sister group. Let's share geeky ideas, go geeky places, and do geeky things together! All manner of geeks are welcome:  singles, couples--even people w …
