Outdoor Movie Nights! When Chicago's warmer summer weather allows it, we set up an outdoor movie night each month to take advantage of the season (generally May - Sept). In October, when it gets a bit too cold for movies, we set up a haunted house and pumpkin patch. The lawn space opens early for people to spread out their picnic blankets, mingle with their friends and neighbors, and grab a bite to eat. Before show time - we grill out and BBQ for a few hours while we wait for dusk. People are e …

A movie group. We will attend a movie twice a month at the Davis Theater in Lincoln Square and disscuss it over a bite to eat at one of the many nearby pubs and restaurants. The group is for anyone who loves movies. These are first run mainstream movies.

This is a social group for people in their 20s/30s in the South-Western Suburbs (Berwyn to OakPark to Naperville to Downers Grove) who are looking to meet like minded people for fun times! I propose wine, bars, happy hours, bowling, dinner, game nights, movies, and more!

We are a non-for-profit meetup group developed to support the little Queer Film Festival in Chicago. Our goal is to foster a community of passionate volunteers to acquire and showcase quality queer films. Mainstream theaters are hard to come by. We seek small, intimate venues such as wine bars, music lounges and art galleries conducive to social/mingling and make high quality independent programs more accessible to our community. Here are some of our ideas of future meet ups: 1. Women's movie ni …

The Book (Was Better) Club is for cinephiles and bookworms alike. Each month, members will select a book for which a film adaptation was (or will be) made. To keep discussions productive, caps will be placed on how many may attend a given meeting, but meet-ups will be held at least twice a month. So if you don't R.S.V.P. in time for one, just join another! Events will range from discussions (over coffee, tea, wine, or my personal favorite: FOOD) to in-home movie viewings and trips to the cinema.

This is a group of people that get together each Tuesday night to get to know each other. We always eat dinner together. Every other week we play triva at a local bar or have a game night. On the other weeks, we hang out and then spend sometime reading the bible and listening to what God is saying to us...Sound like a weird combo...Jesus might be more fun than you'd think. If you want to make friends, have fun, and look into the God thing (or pursue it more), we're the group for you.

This group is for single men and women ages 25-50,  who are looking to meet new people/friends in the far western suburbs (Lisle, Glen Ellyn, Downers Grove, Woodridge, Naperville, Aurora, etc).

Movies will be scheduled at different theaters throughout the western suburbs: 1st run, 2nd run, matinees, evenings, weekdays, weekends, and drive-in. We'll als …

If your looking to meet some local girls that are in their mid to late 20’s and 30’s that live near the Northwest suburbs (Aurora, Naperville, Oakbrook, Wheaton, Schaumburg, Addison, Lombard etc.) area to do some adventurous type of activities such as Indoor/Outdoor rock climbing, biking, hiking, bowling, indoor racing etc or just want to meet up after work for happy hour, catch a good movie, or comedy show or get together at someone’s place for wine and cheese and game night then this is the gr …

Calling all women of Northbrook (& nearby)! I'm hoping this group helps to create a strong, close-knit community of women in the Northbrook area. I'd like to help connect women in the area and build new friendships. I'd also like us to capitalize on our collective experiences, wisdom and passions. For what purpose? To cover the spectrum: From light-hearted, fun social gatherings (game nights, movie nights, wining, dining, comedy shows, musicals, etc.), to more adventurous activities that we've a …

Hi fellow introverts. Please read guidelines below, before joining this group. (Thank you) We schedule most of our meetups in Lake County, but since we've been getting more members from all over the place, we've been scheduling more meetups in Chicago, Cook County suburbs, and a few north of the border in Wisconsin, or a bit West in McHenry County, just to give you an idea of locations. For those of us who are introverts/loners and/or "live inside" our heads, making new friends can be more of a …

This is a meetup group for desi film/movie lovers from any culture or background. Although the primary focus will be on Hindi ("Bollywood") movies, we can change things up once in a while up with movies in other languages (Malyalam, Urdu, Tamil, etc.). We'd like to start with simple Movie outings and maybe some Dinner + Movie nights. These could be at theaters or at someone's place (it would have to be for movies that aren't newly released). However, we'd like to expand into more creative ones s …

Unite with fans of the fabulous, yet defunct, movie-riffing TV show Mystery Science Theater 3000. We meet one Saturday evening per month to provide MSTie group support and watch an episode. We also get together for field trips to see Cinematic Titanic, Rifftrax, and the occasional bad movie or two. The group has been together five years. Stay cool, keep it light and you'll be welcome indefinitely. Thanks for understanding, and hope to see you soon. Our regular monthly meetups consist of mingling …

inspired by an amazing friend who started a very successful meetup to connect with like-minded new mommies, i've decided to start a little group too!  girls about town is dedicated to nurturing all of my favorite hobbies -- and hopefully yours too.  our events span a whole spectrum of socializing ranging from meeting up for a movie, trying delicious new restaurants, sunday brunching, art classes of all sorts, potluck dinner parties, a good day of spa-style pampering and much much more! we'll be …

Hi ladies! I reside in the Lake County, IL. area, & have found that there are not many if any interesting groups on this site for those of us in the far north west suburbs. All the great groups of people appear to be located in Chicago! I myself did not wish to travel all the way to the Chicago land area on a weekly or monthly basis to meet new people, or to make a new friend, especially being that the individuals in the group that I had attended did not wish to do the same for me! NO bueno! Thu …

This group has merged with Gen X/Y Social between the cities - please join our group on that meetup site instead.  Thanks! I have found it difficult to meet young people in their 30s and 40s along the Illinois/Wisconsin border. It seems that most groups in this area are under 40 or over 50 and forgot about the awesome kids who grew up in the 80 and 90s listening to grunge and alternative. Whether single, divorced, newly separated, or in a relationship, we often don't have enough time to find pe …

This group is for young (20's and 30's) single women who are looking to build new friendships in the Chicagoland area. I have another group in the western burbs, but no one seems to be very active in it, and no one ever suggests any meetups. I've been trying to think of a way to make sure people are active in this group, so I've made us a facebook group page where we can all talk and decide on meetups for our group. I thought people might be more likely to chat with other members on facebook, th …
