I enjoy going for a run at a very leisurely pace but I don't run on a consistent basis.  I'd like to blame it on a busy schedule but the real culprit is lack of discipline.

Every week, I would like to schedule one evening run during the week and one morning run on the weekend. Most runs will be in Cottage Grove or nearby.

I've been a Nintendo fan since the days of the NES. The Wii U is going to be released in two months and I'm excited to play it. But let's face it; you can't have "asymmetrical gameplay" without a handful of people to play asymmetrically with. This meetup group will focus on gathering in public spaces to get our fill of Nintendo's brand of multiplayer excitement. All experience levels are welcome. And the classic "blue turtle shell" effect present in almost all Nintendo games tends to assure that …

As a transplant from Seattle, I've been missing my poetry workshop mates and I haven't discovered a group on here or in this city that quite fits. I'd like to have a place that provides opportunity for serious workshopping of poetry, as well as helps fellow poets write new poetry and have a safe place to share their poetry and experiment. How this workshop would run: Groups shouldn't exceed 5 people, so if there were more folks then we would split into smaller groups. Everyone, if they so choose …

If you're looking to get offline and meet great new people in and around St. Paul, this group is for you. Life is crazy busy, making it hard to meet new people. I don't know about you, b …

This group is for like-minded parents/caregivers/kindred spirits who want to raise their children to appreciate nature and who want to pursue outdoor activities with other families.

I imagine we'll have events as simple as a BBQ, or as complicated as a several day rock climbing and camping extravaganza. I'd love to meet others in the area who like to be outside and aren …

This is a casual, laid back, friendly book club discussion about the books we are reading. This book club meets in the Saint Paul Midway area. This book club may or may not be currently open to new members.  Due to the personal nature of book club discus …
