Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of (or is interested in creating) a couples supper club and wine club where we alternate eating out at various upscale restaurants, or rotating dinners at our various homes, could do a theme related to books or something else. Also if you have any suggestions on book clubs in general, or drama clubs, or writing clubs, that info would be greatly appreciated. Also looking for kindle owners club where we can lend our books to other members etc for free.
Thanks. Anne
how about i call it: Eating Food At Interesting Restaurants And Drink Wine Sometime After Dusk CLUB.
Didn't think single people liked to hang out with married folk. But of course anyone who is interested to try it is welcome, as i can tell from the overwhelming response to my thread, it will be dinner for ONE.
(uh oh, ALERT !! American Language Police be aware i said FOLK
SO funny! I'm from the midwest (if you count Chicago where I grew up) , but lived in NYC for years and now here. Yeah, I thought I would try at least, thanks for the 411 on this. What is this forum for then? forgive me I'm confused is it just for info or for socializing? I'm not new here (depends on the semantic police of this forum but I would like to meet some people. As I spend most of my days writing reading and playing piano and of course studying wine (ok drinking wine... ) Well if anyone including you is interested let me know!! AND I APPRECIATE YOUR POST-- Seriously, this Dubai Expat Forum makes people from NYC look like cupcakes-- tough crowd!
I would bet it you ask the owner of the forum what it is for, would be some this and that about bringing expats together but... in the end, isnt it always about money ??
Forum is what you make of it.
Most people come, get info about moving to what country they are intersted in, move or dont, and have those intial questions. If move, might go to a few initial meetups, meet some folks, and form their own little group and move on....
Few of the regular posters see it as their online social forum and have a 'rapore' if you will each other.
I dont tend to drink but really cant stand the taste of wine even though I did try to for a while, think Pat Green with his guitar standing on a stage is great live music, and reading from the kindle is something one does if have nothing else to do (I read ALOT HERE).
You can always post an event and see if anyone will show up
LOL!!!! that's funny-- ALSO thanks for the 411---
I READ A LOT as well, almost a book every other day (i kid you NOT)
I guess I will try and post an event (what have I got to lose, I have no friends here yet)
I was a lawyer in NYC (ok now I realize no one will ever come to an event or respond to me) but I AM REFORMED-- I am enjoying my life and just want to have some fun.
I will post an event and hope some one will show up (stranger things have happened)
I'm happy to host at my place.
Kindle and data swapping, movie nights and boardgames.
Can I get the numbers on interested people, then I will set up an introduction evening
The site was doing movie nights every few weeks for a while. Maybe you could get that going on a regular. Maybe a movie then dinner thing could be done every two or three weeks.
Not so sure about a game night, at your apartment. You are a female and is not safe to have people from this site just randomly know where you live. Have met some VERY weird people that were honestly a bit psycho. A crazy american that came to quiz night comes to mind as I am typing this....
Just forewarning, that everyone says they want to do something and are bored, but then hardly anyone ever seems to show up.
Well said Jynx and you are spot on about not letting anyone know where you live or at least until you know them well. I am sure that Jynx etc have given up counting the pms they get from men on here.. just being friendly
Something tells me moderators are not allowed to do this
Really though, this would take some of the fun out of seeig the other side of pammy's lovely convos she gets into on here. Sticking it out :spit. Think sometimes is worth it but good to know have this option.
