Hello, me (38F) and a few friends have been trying to start a book club. We are setting it up so that every month is a new genre/topic. This last month we read Eragon (for Back to School aka books we read in grade school), and this month we are reading The Shining for Suspenseful September. We meet the last Sunday of the month at Sociable.

We’ll eventually have a discord set up, it’s a work in progress. Please let me know if you are interested!

Recently moved here to the twin cities and I’m looking for recs on local craft groups or meetups! I enjoy scrapbooking, junk journaling, crocheting, felting, sewing, drawing, and painting. I’m always down to try a new craft!
also, im in my late 20s and looking for groups with ppl around my age

Hey what’s good everyone! 29M from Saint Paul, just simply looking to expand my circle and meet some new local friends who are heavy into Minnesota sports. Always down to meet up to watch a game somewhere/attend a game. Really just looking for a chill new friend group

Drop a reply if you’re down to connect!

M4F] Twin Cities — Looking for a Lego-loving grandma (50–75) for building sessions and companionship
Body:
Hi. I’m looking to meet a woman between 50 and 75 who enjoys building Lego sets and would like some companionship around that.
I like the focus and the small sense of accomplishment that comes with putting a set together. I’m hoping to find someone who feels the same way — someone who’d enjoy sitting down with a set, talking while we build, and maybe grabbing coffee or a meal afterward.
This is about shared hobby time and genuine company first. If you’re in the Twin Cities area (or nearby), like Lego, and are open to meeting in a public place to see if the conversation clicks, feel free to message me.
Tell me a little about yourself and a set you’ve enjoyed (or one you’d like to build) so I know you’re real.

57(m) looking for a partner(s) to smoke other pickleball teams . In reality I’m just a beginner 😅 and seeking similar who is willing to go out there and give it their all.

Looking to play mostly weekends in Wolfe Park St. Louis park at the pickleball courts which are outside. I have no rating except 5⭐️ in being nice and friendly.

I’m interested in collaborating on a regular (weekly or monthly) hangout for Creative Magical Thinkers.

NOT a “networking” event. 👎

I want this meetup gathering hangout to be more about brainstorming ideas and helping people with solutions.

I’ve been self employed most all my life as an Entrepreneur and Entertainer (magician). I would like to brainstorm, collaborate and help others.

I like the “Magic” and serendipity that comes from solution focused thinking.

Comment if you’re interested?
(Don’t comment if you’re not)

Straight dude in his late 30s here. After struggling with self esteem issues and social anxiety for a long time, Im trying to figure out how to meet women in my same situation in the Twin Cities. I see these sites like Break the Bubble or Meet Up have disclaimers like THIS IS NOT A DATING EVENT or LEAVE THE PICK UP LINES AT HOME. What are you supposed to do if dating apps dont click? Thanks for any help or insight, this kind of took some fear to get over in posting.

Hi! 23f who graduated last year and moved to St. Paul for a job just under a year ago. Originally from TX and recently met another post-grad guy also from TX. Was wondering if there were any transplants or post-grads in their mid-twenties in St. Paul or Minneapolis looking to meet new people and explore. Especially with the weather getting nicer, looking to get outside more to enjoy the end of summer and all of the fall activities.

Are there any meetup groups for anger management/anger recovery?

Break the Bubble is a meetup group that draws big crowds to brewery taprooms (and other locations) in the Twin Cities. Our next event is Friday 9/4 (5pm-9pm) at Padraigs Brewing in Minneapolis. No fee to attend, just show up, put on a nametag, buy a drink, and start chatting. It's that easy!

BYO creative project! Painting, sketching, writing, fiber arts, digital arts, etc. Any medium is welcome, as long as it's portable, won't leave a permanent mess, or be too loud for other park visitors.

We will be meeting at a picnic table near the Visitor Center, close to the parking lot. Probably to the left side of the building by the big trees. Look for the table with a festive balloon :)

I will bring a couple extra chairs, but feel free to bring your own if you like, and bring any beverages/snacks you might want. You can drop in late or leave early if needed, no pressure. You're also welcome to just come and hang out if you don’t feel like bringing your own project with you. I will be supplying some coloring materials as well.

Just a casual hang out & craft while enjoying some nature. I'm looking forward to seeing you all there!

In case of bad weather, the visitor center is open until 8pm. We can move to the indoor lounge area, or under the covered patio next to the building.

Let me know if you have any questions. I will post any updates here if they come up. You can also join the discord group or facebook event here:

Anyone interested in getting together at a coffee shop/library/park to help each other crotchet? I’ve been teaching myself with YouTube videos and stuff but am at a point where I need another human to discuss some q&a with and give me a second opinion on if something looks right. If anybody is an expert and willing to help a beginner or another beginner wanting to waddle through self learning with another beginner, let me know.

I’m a queer, progressive, Gen X woman—looking for crochet buddies. If interested DM me! :)

anyone at the fair tonight and what to meet up love to have partner to try all the foods with. Sunday 8/30

Hi! I’m a 29 year old Swedish man who is visiting the Twin Cities from November 6th to 9th. Staying at a hotel in Minneapolis. Going to an NHL game on the 7th, otherwise I have nothing else planned if you want to meet up. I like to try local restaurants and bars, visit museums, and take long walks when I’m travelling. But of course open to any other suggestions as well.

My fiance (32F) and I (34M), have recently got in to pickleball and are looking for beginner friends to play doubles with. We also like to play board games during the winter. Mostly looking for people in the 20s-30s bracket. We don’t have kids and love dogs. It’s been tough meeting people being from out of state.

We mostly play at courts in Bloomington. Looking forward to meeting some people!

This is an open invite to join me for boardgames at the Roseville Dreamers Vault Friday September 4th. I will arrive around 5:30 and play filler or chat with whoever is there. At 6:30 we will decide what longer games to play. You'll know me by my bald head and bushy beard. I usually grab a table at the back left of the gaming area.

As this will be during the State Fair only a few blocks from it, you will likely want to avoid Snelling if coming from the south. Taking 280, Dale, or Lexington are likely faster. If you're coming from the north it shouldn't impact your drive.

I do my best to bring a wide variety of games. Last time we played Illusion and Container. You can check these games out on boardgamegeek.com.

Crosspost. Let me know if there’s a more appropriate local sub to post this in!
