If you would like to practice the instrument you are playing than this is a place for you. We are interested in: blues flamenco folk and popular …

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 …

Looking to meet new people in the gay community without having to go to the city? Look no further! This group will hopefully serve as an opportunity for those of us in the northern suburbs to make new friends and plan fun and unique social outings. It can be difficult finding other local LGBT folks when we're limited to the downtown scene. The lack of suburban venues for the gay community can often feel isolating, so let's change that! I welcome anyone to join this group, and I look forward to t …
