I am founding this group because I am a newly divorced father of two little girls. I am struggling a little bit after ending an 18 year marriage. i have little girls aged 4 and 6. I feel a bit challenged, i lost most of our couples friends in the divorce and I know absolutely no other single fathers in the same position. I would like to meet with like minded dads who accept the challenge of putting their children first. I hope to build a network of dads in a similar position.

MESSAGE FROM THE ORGANIZER: Hello Friends, I saw this group destined to be dissolved owing to the absence of an organizer, and I didn't feel like letting that happen. I took a bold decision to take on this group in spite of my other meetup, work, etc. keeping me quite busy. It would have been far too sad to have lost this group, which has so much potential, so many members, and so much yet to accomplish in the mingling of like minds. The good news is that it is still alive and I want it to …

From the long lost Creator of Dive Bar Adventures, Social Detective Agency and Champagne Campers... The Re-Opening of Los Angeles's Largest Urban Culture Meetup group... Yea, I'm BAAAAACK!!! Meet others who lack true refinement, lack a regal heritage, and lack a superior attitude towards all live cultural events. Yet live to experience live theater of all sorts, art galleries, dance troupes, and exotic nightlife. Culture is absorbed by bliss-full ignorance of any stuffy erudite concepts or serio …

The Purpose of this Meet-Up is to read, study, question and understand the Books of the Bible in a NON-Academic way. The way a person would if they just picked it up, read it, and tried to understand what God might be trying to say to the world. We try to understand the Why of the Stories rather than get lost in the What. The right to do this is anyone's. Not just "Christians". We do meet at a Church called Mosaic and there is a Pastor (Erwin McManus) who leads the time. This is NOT an attempt t …

We all know how self-defeating procrastination can be, waiting for a better time ("when I have more hours, when I am less rushed, etc.") until the opportunity is lost, but also that procrastination is merely a habit. J …

I recently joined LASFS [Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society] here in North Hollywood, and reread Theodore Sturgeon's classic "More than Human"; then a Jinni came to me in a dream. "Stop working solo! Call the lone wolf lefties together, bleshing a Sinister-Synergy-Meta-Mind-Meld-Alliance, a veritable whilrwind of wicked wittiness, to subvert the suicidal right-hand dominant culture which is screwing up this beautiful garden planet." Let's face facts! Kingdoms rise and fall, civilizations come …
