I'm here at Naomi's Coffee in beautiful Morgan Hill, drinking my Americano. On a casual search on my iPhone yellow pages app, within a 10-mile radius, I find over 60 churches and about 10 practitioners of alternative medicine. Sheesh! I did a search in meetup for a freethinking group, and the nearest ones are in Santa Cruz and San Jose. I figure there MUST be people in the Morgan Hill/Gilroy area who celebrate science, skepticism, and rational thought--People who aren't prone to believing there …

Are you stuck on a problem that needs solving? Maybe you need completely unbiased minds, brains from varied backgrounds to pump new life into finding a solution. You're not alone - we've all been there. I've started and run several successful Web and tech businesses.

What I did know was how to lead brainstorming sessions which led to the solutions we needed and were searching …

Interested in science fiction / fantasy / video games / vintage MTG / AD&D / having a few drinks / making some friends, and enjoying fellowship of some pure-blooded geeks every couple weeks? How is this different than other local groups? A lot of groups strongly emphasize just games, for instance. There are also groups similar to this in far-away lands, like San Francisco.
