This is a Chicago-Suburban meet-up group designed for people who enjoy the cinema, fine cuisine and more.  Most evening events will consist of a movie, dinner, or a combination of both. Others may include a matinee followed by a film discussion afterwards at a local cafe. From time to time there will also be a foreign film, Indie or Classic movie scheduled, or even live theater. We will have dining venues which will include diverse cuisines from around the world or around the block. In addition, …

We will pick various popular and/or interesting movies at the Evanston Cinemark Theater to see on either Saturday or Sunday nights. If the film we pick interests you, join us. It is also possible that we go to Bravo's after the movie for a late night snack discussion about the movie.

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.

“I just looked at the pattern of my life, decided I didn’t like it, and changed.” — David Sedaris It’s not that simple for everyone. But it could be. You may have a job you love. A family you wouldn’t trade for the world. A killer wardrobe, flat stomach, car with seat-warmers and a Bose sound system, plans every night of the week, a ring, a mortgage, and a passport filled with stamps. You may have some of that. Or you may have none of that. What you do have is a desire for something more. For a …
