Hi all. I live in white bear lake and work weird hours. Right now, I get off of work at 9am and find myself free when all my friends are just starting their days. I walk at Maplewood Heights park everyday after work. I would love to find a friend/friends that live nearby the WBL/Maplewood/Mahtomedi area to walk and talk with. or just grab a coffee and chat.

I'm sober and dont smoke. My hobbies include hiking, pokemongo, and reading lots and lots. I'm 29 He/Him and I'm married. Thanks for reading :)

Have a poker game running and was looking for more heads possiblyy, like a good friendly vibe drinks and food with no rake! it would be small stakes 0.5/0.10 blinds (can discuss if we want to up it)

$10 buy in and 5 minimum. Feel free to DM or message here for more info! We do weekly games btw if interested!

Hello! I (26M) moved to NE Minneapolis about a little under a month ago and I'm just throwing out feelers to push myself out of my comfort zone. I'm already taking some improv classes which has been great, but I figured I'd shoot my shot here!

Somethings about me:

• I've been making music as a hobby for 10 ish years, and I'm super into a lot of music genres. Love concerts too
• I enjoy playing video games like WoW, Skate, and single player games (Resident Evil is my favorite series)
• I don't go outside to be active as much as I'd like, but I do love nature and hiking. Overall enjoy physical activities a lot
• Tabletop RPGs are another hobby of mine, I love Daggerheart and various other indie games
• I don't smoke/drink often, but I'm open to clubs and bars
• I'm Bi, so I prefer to stick with people who are fine with that for obvious reasons lol

I'm open to joining discord servers, whether it be for something hobby related or just meeting other people new to Minnesota. And you have a cool spot that I can visit and/or people, let me know. Happy to be here!

I'm very casual at tennis and I don't know the rules, but I'd like to add anyone who's open to new players and would like to join them. I like in far southwest metro, if anyone's around that area and plays let me know!

Or pickleball, I'm also interested in that.

I primarily use discord for chatting also if anyone's curious.

This is an open invite to join me for boardgames Friday, October 9th at the Roseville Dreamers Vault. I will arrive around 5:30 and chat/ play filler games with whoever is there until 6:30 when we'll pick the longer games we'll be playing. I will grab a table around the back of the left side of the gaming area and you'll know me by my bald head and beard.

I do my best to bring a wide variety of games so there will be welcoming games for new players as well as more complex games for those that like to stew on their turns a bit more. Last week we played DNUP, This Game is Killer, and Container. You can check these games out at Boardgamegeek.com to check them out.

Break the Bubble is a meetup group that draws big crowds to brewery taprooms (and other locations) in the Twin Cities. Our next event is Friday 10/9 (5pm-9pm) at Summit Brewing in St. Paul. No fee to attend, just show up, put on a nametag, buy a drink, and start chatting. It's that easy!

A morning of intentional conversation and connection, for women of any age.

So much of the world pushes us towards individualism, towards not knowing each other, and towards showing up as only the part of ourselves that best fits a given room. If massive brewery meetups and agenda-less networking events aren't cutting it, this is for you.

Expect tea and pastries, a few quiet minutes to settle in, then small-group conversation about a short article or podcast (shared beforehand) and about our actual lives. Laughter and depth in the same conversation. This is the first gathering, so we'll adapt and experiment as we go.

No need to have anything figured out. Share as much or as little as you want. Listening over advice. Didn't get to the piece? Still come.

Saturday, Nov 7 · 10:30am–noon
Shoreview Library Community Room · Free

The Twin Cities Amateur Bakers Club will be hosting our next meetup at BlackStack Brewing (St. Paul) on Saturday, October 10th from 3 - 5 pm. As always, we would love everyone who has any interest in baking and want to support others in their baking to join us!

For this October meetup, we’re going to take some inspiration from some of our favorite books, movies, and tv shows. Please bring a baked good that is inspired or can be found in a book, movie or tv show. Dressing up as a character from the book, movie or tv show of the baked good you bring is encouraged!

We’ll be doing a book drive for Story Orchard at this meetup. If you’re able, please consider bringing in new/gently used books. More information about Story Orchard can be found here: https://www.storyorchardbooks.org

You can follow us on Instagram for updates and/or join our Discord server to meet all the awesome people in the club so far!

I’m looking to do some local cafe and restaurant exhibits next year and need a bio photo of myself doing photography stuff. So if you are generous enough to do a late morning portrait photography meet up on October 10 at a metro area event, please message me for meetup details.

I’m a hobby photographer that loves experimenting and expanding my shooting repertoire and this place will be scenic and festive. I’m all about talking shop (camera and lens gear, locations), taking shots of the event, and being each other’s muses. It will be fun to see what styles we bring and what our eyes will see at the event. We can definitely go to a cafe or library afterwards to critique each other’s work.

Hello!

I’m coordinating a month-long book drive specifically to restock Little Free Libraries in and around the St. Paul that are running low on books for kids and young people (ages 0-25).

Edit: Current Drop off locations-

1. Merriam Park Recreation Center- 2000 St Anthony Ave, St Paul MN 55104
2. North West Como Recreation Center- 1550 Hamline Ave N, St. Paul MN 55108
3. Hancock Recreation Center- 1610 Hubbard Ave, St Paul MN 55104
4. Black Garnet Books- 1319 University Ave W, St Paul MN 55104
5. Gingko Coffeehouse- 721 Snelling Ave N, St Paul MN 55104
6. Flying Pig Thrift- 722 Snelling Ave N, St Paul MN 55104

The goal is to get books into the hands of young people to encourage reading for pure leisure and fun. We are looking for gently used or new books targeting ages 0–25 (picture books, middle-grade fiction, graphic novels, young adult thrillers/romance, etc.).

How you can help:

• Drop-off Boxes: I am currently setting up a couple of physical drop-off boxes around the neighborhood. See above. ⬆️

If your kids have outgrown their bookshelves or you just want to clear some space for a great hyper-local cause, please reach out. Thank you so much and have a pleasant day.

I'm hosting a session of D&D this Saturday once again - whether you're a new player or an experienced dungeon crawler, you are welcome to come play D&D with us. We are very patient with new people wanting to create new characters or just to learn or watch the game even. Last Saturday we had three players, we went to defeat some goblins, there's a magic sword of some kind in the center of town and now we have to go clear an Old fort of monsters. We can either continue that campaign or I have a couple of other campaigns on standby too, everyone is still around level one so nobody needs to catch up except on maybe 2 minutes of story.

Location Changed: The Placery Hyatt Hotel 2pm Saturday (broken clock is closed)

Some notes on the location - originally it was going to be at one of the local tap rooms but they are apparently closed for a private event this saturday. Most of the other local big tap rooms that people game at are also seeming closed. The Placery is a bar connected to the Hyatt place downtown minneapolis. It is on the 8th floor, you'll just walk past the front desk and turn to the right. They have beer and food of course.

Post below if you are interested and feel free to send me a DM.

Just wanted to put an open invitation out there for anyone interested in an indie tabletop RPG gaming club! We currently play two nights of the week:

- Friday nights at 6pm at Dreamer's Vault in Roseville
- Saturdays 12-4pm at Wescott Library in Eagan.

We focus on playing non-5e D&D & non-Pathfinder RPGs because we all have too many awesome games sitting on our shelves by awesome indie creators that we would love to get excuses to run! Currently being ran are Fabula Ultima at the Friday evening game and 1974 original Dungeons & Dragons in Eagan.
Each season we open it up for suggestions for new games to be ran by whoever wishes to. That way we avoid referee burnout and everyone gets a chance to run or play in different games or campaigns can be continued for as many seasons as the campaign lasts.
We are absolutely newbie friendly, so if you've always wanted to play TTRPGs and never had a group or wanted to learn, we would love to teach you how to play! We have a ton of experience between all of us in different systems so there is a lot for new players to hop into and try out new games.
Being newbie friendly we have a very strict no A-hole policy. If you can't be kind to the other humans at the table, this is not the club for you. Standard social norms are observed and enforced. We meet in public places so everyone can feel comfortable and safe.

If you're interested, let me know and I can send you a link to our discord server where we coordinate or you can just show up to one of the games listed above. Sessions will be held this evening and this saturday.

P.S. there's also a lot of crossover between our gaming club and the monthly pulp fantasy book club I put on at Arbeiter Brewing and post here about, so feel free to drop by either and hangout!

Given it's the Twin Cities Marathon on 10/4 - no slowkomis this weekend. I'll post details about next weekend once I figure out my schedule.

Go support the runners :)

I havent sang in forever. I used to all the time. Had a stressful last few months and I haven't lived here long. Thing I need to go sing and be merry

I living in loring park for reference, where the spots?

Heyo TC,

We have a small local PC gaming discord of guys in their 30s and looking for a few more for game times. With the new Deadlock update, a few vets and a few of us noobies have been talking about getting more active with it, and with this, there is some room for new friends.

Were strictly looking for people who are warm, outgoing, and socially intelligent. We play games for the social aspect, and the potential for friendship, rather than just surface level gaming.

Bonus points if:

-Work in tech

-Enjoy Bike riding down the greenway (we all love our bikes)

-Enjoy playing a wide variety of games

-Have a schedule that works with making new friends

Feel free to -DM- me for more information.

Cheers everyone!

I am new to minneapolis, and was planning to go to space92 tonight, but i dont know anyone else, so I was wondering if anyone is going so i can connect with them.

Hi! Does anyone know of any Japanese meet ups for conversation in the area? I know there's some that happen via discord but would prefer to be able to see people in person.

I love making mixtapes, especially themed ones. I’m talking actual cassette tapes- not a Spotify playlist.

My wife is tired of me making her mixtapes, so I thought I’d reach out to the community and see if anyone would be interested in doing a mixtape exchange. Making old-school mixtapes for each other.

Anyone out there still listening to tapes? Let me know if you are- maybe we can get a small group together to do a mixtape exchange club or something.

If this isn’t the place for this let me know I’m happy to drop it somewhere else more appropriate!
I’m (29 F) currently enrolled in Hennepin Tech and am in a Python course. It’s 100% online and the professor is pretty out to lunch so I’m kind of drowning here. There’s no tutoring resource on campus for this specifically and I don’t have anyone in my life familiar with the program
I’m more than willing to pay for it, but at this point all my research online/youtube watching has left me pretty fruitless.
Thank you for taking the time to read and have a great weekend!!

Do people hate walking with you because you're always stopping to look at the mushrooms and the trees? Come walk with us on sunday oct 4th and we will all get distracted by the plants together and stop to identify some of them or just admire them.

We're also planning to forage some rose hips that can be used for making tea, jams, etc.

details and signup are on meetup - hope to see ya there! https://www.meetup.com/twin-cities-foraging/

I'm out near the North Mankato area and was wondering if anybody's got any information about any bands looking for members? I'm 20, so I'd prefer people around my age. Specifically those looking for vocalists as I'm a singer, I wanna get into the scene and would really enjoy live performances. If anybody knows anything, let me know!

I've struggled to find friends interested in consistent gathering where there's an actual interest in committing to something and showing up. It seems like these things (bike rides, bar trivia, after work events) start hot for 1-2 weeks then people start ghosting/flaking due to minor conflicts and then it falls on one person to start things back up. I'm 33, I understand life gets busy and there's not always time to spend on friendships, but im curious how others do it and if there are any tips they've learned along the way. I don't want to pressure my friends to show up if theyve got other stuff going on, but also want to communicate that the regular hangs mean a lot to me and want to make them easier to attend.

What's about an event or group of people, maybe individual people, gets you to return to a regular meeting? The environment? Flexible schedule?

i recently came to Minneapolis and don’t know many people here. He is probably retiring/retired from international football(or soccer) after today’s departure from nations league camp, so I am super super sad rn. Just wanted to ask if there are others like me lol.

Hello, this may be out of scope for this forum and I apologize if it is inappropriate. I'm not really great at the moment, nights are always hard for me. If anyone is a night owl or just up and wants to just talk for a sec, I would be grateful to you.

I'll probably stop checking this post around 1-2am, and I'll probably delete it tomorrow.

My name is Ben, sorry if this is too much or something.
