We can also go as a group to events related to science, technology, social sciences, or science fiction, such as movies, museums, conventions, etc.

Some members also participate in the Arts & Society Meetup Group (after all, science fiction, science illustration, nature photography, and architecture are all forms of art; and social sciences are relevant to science and to society) - that group meets the first Sunday of each month at the same location, and has an Arts Events email list, to let each other know about events (including science fiction events), and to see who would like to go as a group. http://art.meetup.com/515
