Welcome! Every month we'll be getting together at location in the Alexandria area to share tips about technique and gear, (gently) critique each other's work, listen to presentations by professionals and to just enjoy the company of other folks who are into photography, regardless of whether its done through film, digital, or some other technology we haven't come considered yet. The group has a wide range of experience levels, from folks just starting out to professionals who've worked in the fi …

We are a group of runners in our 20's and 30's, with members ranging from beginner runners to those who have been running for years. Nothing like knowing others are waiting for you to make sure you go out and run! We are not competitive, regardless of pace (we have some very fast runners in the group, and very slow runners, and even if you can't run the whole thing, and need a walk break, it's ok).  We always welcome new faces! Our weekday runs are always by time, not distance, so that we can al …

The old saying goes, if your dog is over-weight, you are not getting enough exercise.

Runners and walkers are welcome. The goal of the group is too share dog friendly races in the area and to provide a forum so that dog owners can meet and train together.

Welcome to Arlington, DC Hiking Group! This meet-up group is for people who like to hike and get outdoors. Our hikes have evolved over the last 2 months.

Welcome! This meetup aims to be a "gaming clearinghouse" of sorts for the Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC area: We want to connect players to games and games to players. To that end, we want to create and maintain meetings that get roleplayers in the same place, trying different games, meeting different people, and doing the sort of networking that forms new groups, or gets fresh blood into established ones. I try to organize at least one meeting a month (usually a one-shot game); …

Why “somewhat” difficult? Partly it’s about humility: Not everyone will agree about what qualifies a book as “difficult,” and occasionally we’ll read something that you don’t struggle with at all. But no matter what your opinion of, oh just for example let’s say Slaughterhouse Five, most people can agree that it at least requires more concentration, more analysis and more reflection than The Notebook (nothing against The Notebook if that’s your thing). Maybe Vonnegut -- or Great Expectations, o …

Hello aspiring heroes! Noticing, at the time, that there were no local, official meetups for a superhero roleplaying game group and plenty of those seeking one, I decided to forge just such an opportunity. Champions, Marvel Superheroes, DC Superheroes, Villains and Vigilantes, Mutants and Masterminds--whatever your particular brand of poison, let's meet together and brew it here! If you're looking for a steady game in a group that promotes collaborative creative expression, action, story and unf …

The Virginia Happy Trails Running Club is composed of people who like to run on dirt trails.

The club members are of varying running abilities and ages. Many run ultramarathons, but some don't run at all. The VHTRC holds a monthly training run -- we call it the "PB&J run" because we love post-run snacks as much as we love the runs themselves. (Participant …

A group for local military riders who are either new to the area, new to hitting the road on two wheels, or just enjoy weekend adventures with fellow heroes.

Let's face it, the reason you've stumbled across this page is because you love (or might be interested in) strapping 1 or 2 pieces of wood, fiberglass, and metal to your feet as you go screaming down the mountain - just to ride a rickety ol', freezing cold chair to the top to start over! We encourage …

This group was inspired by the hundreds of workshops I have given all over the US. Photographers were asking for ways to build their portfolios with high quality images and unique concepts. They were running out of ideas / did not have ideas, could not find models, locations or sets and were hitting a wall. After all a photography web-site filled with photos of your dog or your own children might not say "professional" in a way you want it to. This is what we will do here. The instructors will a …
