We've enjoyed a wide range of plays... from Moliere to Albee, Neil Simon to Shakespeare, Chekhov to "The Laramie Project". Meetups happen once a month on a Monday evening at 7 PM, in a public space, emphasis on the word "pub". We typically end around 9:30 or so.

This group is for people who love to read the New Yorker magazine. I love the New Yorker magazine. I generally love people who love the New Yorker magazine. So, I decided to have a meetup where likeminded people can get together once a month to talk about current events, life, and whatever else comes to mind. Whether you are one issue behind, three issues behind, or three months behind; whether you skip the fiction section or only read the fiction section, this Meetup is for you. By popular dema …

So this year we are celebrating 60 years with 007. Sure, Skyfall is a great movie, but what about the books? We'll be reading Ian Fleming's books starting with Casino Royale. Sure we'll talk about the movies: George Lazenby et al but it'll be fun to actually read the original intents. The locales of these books run the gamut from Las Vegas to London to Istanbul to Jamaica to Mahe Island. Hopefully we can find bars/restaurants that correspond to the locales and rap.

When the timer goes off we go around the table and read aloud one by one. Nobody comments. We just read aloud. Then the next person picks a …
