There are plenty of great healthy gluten-free groups out there, but I noticed a lack of gluten-free drinking/social groups in the DC area! Join this group if you live a gluten-free lifestyle, want to make new friends, and share similar stories in a relaxed social setting. Feel free to bring non-gluten free friends to show support! Our goal: once bars in the DC area see there is a thirsty (and fun) gluten-free crowd, more bars will get on board with gluten-free beer options :) So let's meet-up an …

I recently moved to Leesburg from New Jersey. Being new to the area, I quickly discovered that the best way to meet new people is at the local bars. It seems like all the young people are either hiding or going all the way to DC for a fun night out. Going out in Herndon/Reston is fun, but even that can be a production (carpooling, paying tolls, someone has to be the DD, etc.) This group is for people in the 21-30 year old age range living in Leesburg/Ashburn/Purcellville who want to enjoy local …

Do you like to draw? Do you like to drink? Do you like to do both at the same time, while hanging out with similar folks? Much like the combination of chicken and waffles, drinking and drawing go down smooth, in a delicious combination that needs to be tried to be believed, and yet upon checking out the other meetup options, I quickly realized I'd be either the only one drawing or the only one drinking, neither of which isn't awkward. Ergo, I'm setting this up to see if other folks might be inte …

It’s hard to make new friends at our age after we have devoted our lives to children who are grown and to our career. We often stay closer to home these days for a variety of reason. I miss my friends from High School and beyond who have moved all over the country and I don’t like to travel alone. I miss the very cool days of the 60’s, concerts, road trips and our youth when we threw together a potluck party with all the neighbors who invariably had guitars and sang. What a magic time it was.

I'd like to get a group of men together 35 to 60 who are divorced and mostly single (ok if you re-married). For bonding, support, socializing, dinners or drinks out, brunches, house parties, sports (watching and playing). I'm new with a year under my belt in DMV area and would like to build some kind of social network. I realized after two divorces (and 3 kids) that I had not built many lasting male friendships. Lots of stories to share from the online dating thing to numerous geographical reloc …
