We are an institution for those unable to communicate with their friends about their secret love of things bizarre and fantastical. Looking for people none too squeamish about horror or up to speed on the latest science fiction, plus people who enjoy classics? Drop in, drop us a line. Let’s do coffee and riff the latest box-office bomb. In other words- do you like horror and sci-fi, be it games, movies, books or art? Come join us then, and make some new friends! Please keep in mind we do host …
Greetings! We are fans of pretty much anything Joss Whedon related. The group started out years ago as a strictly Buffy fan group but many of us also enjoy other sci-fi shows, especially those created by Joss. If you come to one of our meetups you will likely hear discussions about Firefly, Dr. Horrible, Dr. Who and other iconic sci-fi shows. We will occasionally have group outings or activities in addition to or in place of the regular monthly meetup. Mostly we just like hanging out with lik …

Hi, thanks for stopping by! I started this group out of my interest in Positive Psychology, meditation, mindfulness, flow, resilience, optimism and related applications to health, relationships, business, parenting, education and personal growth. An interesting aside is that several current and former faculty at The University of Michigan have been instrumental in the development of Positive Psychology. I'd like to do things like a Positive Psychology book discussion, have informal chats, inv …
Do you like B-movies, Cult, grindhouse films, and other unique cinema? Then look no further!
