Formerly known as The Alexandria Movie Fans Meetup Group. I changed the name and location info to better reflect the membership and goals of the group. We will still be having our great events in Alexandria, but I hope to expand the group geographically into DC, Maryland, as well as further into Virginia. This will give everyone many more movie going options and more chances to to meet new people. I also would like to start hosting more themed events, such as Indie Movie Nights and Classic Movie …

This group is for people who really love and appreciate cinema with all its different forms and expressions. We'll see only films that are in limited release. It could be a small indie American movie, a foreign drama, a documentary or an experimental animation. I hope ladies and gents who attend will be interested to stay after shows and share their impressions of just watched film while having a drink or two. This is a perfect meetup for people who love movies and want to talk about them. I int …

Come into the ArtHouse ! Meet with local film and arts lovers to watch indie, foreign and classic films! We'll also attend art gallery openings, theater performances, Embassy evenings, museums, author readings and interesting concerts. And more often than not, there will be a reception! The idea will be to keep the price down and participation and conversation up! We'll go wherever art house films are screened in town--museums, cultural institutions, embassies, local film festivals, …

Greetings! The purpose of this group is for like minded people in the DC/Nova metro area to meetup and enjoy films in the horror, cult, bizarre, and independent genres.  Activities would mostly include film viewings, but other ideas are also welcome. Anyone who is a horror/cult film buff has come to the right place. Genres aren't strictly limited to above genres, for example I very much enjoy Yakuza themed cinema (however romcom suggestions may get u banned :) The goal is to have group consensus …

A comic book club that meets twice monthly to chat about anything related to comic book culture.  We love floppies & trades, golden age & modern, superheroes & indies, comic movies & shows, characters & creators, toys & games, spinners & cons.  Generally we see movies and have TV nights, meet at comic books stores and coffee shops in and around the northern Virginia / DC Metro area.

… Ideally dinner and discussion will follow after each movie. This meetup is free, I am not asking for donations, but if you offer to buy me a small popcorn I won't protest.   See you at the movies!      

Love graphic novels? Wish you could meet with fellow readers for interesting discussion? Same here. Let's meetup and talk about great graphic novels (and maybe have a glass of beer or wine on the side! ⎯perhaps tea and crumpets while reading From Hell?) Join us in exploring all genres and styles, from Watchmen and V for Vendetta to Maus and Persepolis (with a liberal sprinkling of Jhonen Vasquez, Neil Gaiman, Frank Miller and others in between).

Do you listen to new bands but feel too old to go to their shows? Or, do you tend to go but feel weird about being the oldest person there?  There are lots of great shows coming to town and there is NO LAW against grayhairs going to live new music. The solution is to go together.  We can strategize ways to stay up beyond our bedtimes!   All members are welcome to suggest any kind of new music event on AH. The "Hipster" label is entirely tongue-in-cheek. We're not all that strict about the "ag …
