About 50% of the people on every event are newcomers to Portland or to the group. It's a great way to meet new people while enjoying new experiences. I host at least 20 events on the calendar per month. Most of the events are done on foot, but some are simply showing up at a particular destination for fun. Events include: Dining and entertainment walks (highli …

Hey dudes and betties, I just moved to Portland all the way from Michigan, so like a lot of you, I don't know many people around here. I gotta say (and I get the feeling that you're thinking the same thing) I'm getting a little burned out of all of these Meetup groups where the age range is from 20-40ish.  Personally, I don't think that is a good mix of people... many of us are single and ready to mingle, still enjoy the bar nights.... you get the idea.  Join up and let's have some fun and meet …

Are you a fan of jazz music (or other niche genres) or  just curious to know what it's all about and why we "jazzers" are so dedicated to the art (or somewhere in between?)? If so, join us as we explore the great music and more that Portland has to offer. I had originally created this meetup to bring out what I (perhaps mistakenly) considered a lost generation of jazz listeners -- namely, my peers in their late 30's through mid 40's -- but have decided to leave my emotional baggage behind :-) an …

Peace is something that everyone wants. Though we search for it in things around us, it's within us all the time, and readily available to experience all the time, too. Peace doesn't create or come from an absence of war. Rather, wars happen as a result of the war that people fight within themselves. But peace is what can end wars, by each person first ending their own inner wars. Portland Friends of Peace isn't about ideas, philosophy, religion or spirituality — nor are we against any of these. …

I moved to Portland almost a year ago with my partner. We only knew her cousin and no one else. Needless to say, our social meter was definitely in the red a few months later: ( I struck up a conversation with a woman on a bus, mentioned I didn't know anyone and she suggested joining meetup. We attended our first meetup two weeks later, a second one the day after. From those meet ups , we met 6 fabulous men and close to a dozen fantastic women. People from all different careers with an age range …

This is a group for people living in the Inner NE Portland neighborhoods (Boise, Alberta, Irvington, Concordia, Grant Park, etc).
