House concerts and small venues are a great way to experience your favorite musicians in a more intimate and informal way. At a house concert there is no bad seat, because you are all just sitting in the living room while the musician plays just feet from you. Intermission usually includes chatting to the musician about what inspires them or why they wrote a particular song. There is usually shared food and a great opportunity to meet your fellow concert goers. Unlike big venues you really get t …

Seattle-area ladies united in the bold pursuit of new friends, drinking, and irreverent fun-making. Lurk no more: if you were wondering where all the fun, creative, independent, literate ladies are, you found us. I started this meetup in part because I felt like so many of the other women-centric meetup groups tend to be a little heavy on the butterfly imagery or Sex and the City connotations.  Or focused around professional networking, babies, or exercise.  And those are all great things--espec …

Welcome!  Sundays at 5:30 I'm hosting a gong meditation for an hour (-ish) in my warm, peaceful home by Green Lake. I've been studying Acutonics (sound therapy using acupuncture points) for many years.  Gong music creates a powerfully soothing, nurturing, relaxing environment that's perfect for contemplation. It's a beautiful way to re-ground yourself during a hectic week, or give yourself some mental space to ponder life's mysteries. Beginner meditators welcome!  You don't need to "know how to …

Do you spend more time designing and building musical instruments than you do playing them? Does playing an instrument make you want to improve the instrument more than your chops? When you attend a concert are you more interested in the gear than the performance? If any of these apply to you, then you may be suffering from MInDS (Musical Instrument Design Syndrome). We can help. SMILE, the Seattle Musical Instrument Lutherie Encounter, is a local meet up of people involved in designing and buil …

This meetup is like a cross between a pool team and a social club.  It's for people that are part tiger/part shark. We're tigers in the sense that we have hobbies and interests other than just pool and to those we consider ourselves a tiger. That includes maybe music, art, sports, photography, or whatever else your thing is. As long as it's not offensive then this is a welcoming atmosphere.  We're sharks in the sense that we are sharky at pool.  So, what it all boils down to is this: For anyone …
