Hi, so I am a 22-year-old Twin Cities resident looking for a local tech scene to engage with personally. Any there specific recommendations for any tech meetups or events to get to engage with the community? I would greatly appreciate any leads!

Basically I think it would be fun to start a club for adults not necessarily nsfw but like a gaming club or a secret society were we really just play board games and eat pizza or spend time looking for opportunities together to build skills and learn new things is anyone interested?

Looking for someone to see the Backrooms movie with this week. I usually go to the Woodbury theatre cause they don't cost a crazy amount like other places.

Guy in his late 30s, flexible on Tuesday or Wednesday at 2pm or the 7:20 showing or can go on Thursday/Friday at 7:20pm.

If you're into liminal spaces, urban exploration, or that whole backrooms aesthetic we'd probably get along anyway. If we vibe, I'm always looking for a regular movie buddy since I tend to miss things not having anyone to go with. Mostly into horror but open to action, fantasy, sci-fi, and superhero stuff too.

I was really looking forward to seeing this movie so I really don't want to miss it. No pressure, just don't want to see it alone. DM if interested.

This is an open invite to join me at the Dreamers Vault in Roseville Friday, July 10th. I will arrive around 5:30 and chat/play short games with whoever is present. At 6:30 we will decide what long(er) games to play. I will grab a table towards the back of the gaming area on the left side of the room. You'll know me by my bald head and bushy beard.

I do my best to bring a wide variety of games so that both new and experienced gamers will have something they'll find fun and interesting to play. Last week we played "Hey, That's My Fish!", "No Thanks", "Container", and "Ad Astra". If you want to know what those games are, check them out at Boardgamegeek.com.

Hi all!

I’m wondering if anyone would be interested in doing a get-together at a park this summer. Mostly focused on making arts & crafts, of any sort. As long as it’s portable and won’t leave a permanent mess. Open to all ages, genders, identifications, etc. Just hanging out on a nice summer day, working on a creative project. I really enjoy meeting other artists and seeing what people are working on.

You’d be able to bring food, drinks, snacks, etc. And if crafting isn’t your thing you could bring a book, game or just yourself for some friendly, laid back chat.

I’m thinking of doing it on a weekday evening, either Mon, Wed, or Thurs (I’m busy Tuesdays). Somewhere between 5:30-7:30pm. It wouldn’t have to be that long, and people could come late / leave early as they wish. Or possibly a Sunday afternoon like 3-5pm ish.

There are a few parks I’m thinking of that have nice covered picnic shelters:

Springbrook Nature Center in Fridley
Akin Riverside Park in Anoka
Aquatore Park in Blaine
Or maybe Columbia Park picnic area in NE Minneapolis

If anyone knows another NE Mpls park, or any other park that has a good picnic area, especially if it has shade or a shelter, I’d love to hear about it.

Let me know if this sounds interesting to you! If it works out, this could be an ongoing thing, maybe meet at a coffeeshop or somewhere in the winter?

UPDATE:
Hey! I think I’ve come up with a date & location for a first meetup. I know it’s a little ways out yet, but I’m thinking Monday Jul 27, 5-7pm, at the Springbrook Nature Center picnic shelter.

I feel like that would be a good place to start, because the shelter is right next to the parking lot, very easy to find. If you can’t make it right on time, or need to leave early, no big deal. Just drop in! I’m hoping to do another meetup again in August, possibly at a different park, and probably on a Sunday afternoon. Things are still up in the air.

I’m planning on making a more formal post in this sub about the meetup a bit closer to the event, once the details are more finalized.

I’ve also been thinking it might be good to have an indoor backup plan, in case of crappy weather. (Rain, but I also consider 90+ and super muggy to be unpleasant even for sitting in the shade!) I reserved the meeting room at Northtown Library for 5:15 to 6:45pm that day, just in case. (Can cancel if not needed). If it turns out to be a small group, there’s also a Panera cafe about half a mile from the park, if people would prefer that.

Let me know what you guys think! Panera or the library for a backup? Or should we just try to reschedule if the weather’s bad?

Should I start a group chat here on reddit for us to keep in contact? Or would people prefer discord? Would it help if I created a facebook event, or no? So many questions! :)

I'm a 42, non-binary, very shy non-professional artist looking for someone else to work or collaborate with. I produce a lot of raw material, but have no idea what to really do with it. I specialize in abstract art, photography in particular, post as 50m30n3-3153 on DeviantArt if you want an idea of what I do. I've never worked with another artist, but I'd love to find a person who could take the stuff I make and take the next step in the process and create something from it, someone I could bounce ideas back and forth with. Since I dont do this as a day job, this could be a really low pressure arrangement.

I haven’t played soccer since middle school and I’m wanting to join a chill soccer league and play some games in the summer/winter. Anyone looking for a midfielder/defender?

I am an adult in my mid 20's. I hate to admit it, but I cannot swim. And I want to learn how to swim. Is there any affordable swim school or is anyone offering private class? If yes, please DM me!

What is a reasonable price for the course? I live in twin cities area.

I’m a 25 year old male, relatively new to the Minneapolis area and tryna find people that are open to chilling n hanging out, having game nights, maybe a lil friend group or summ. I’m a pretty chill person, def tree friendly 🍃🍃, love music industrial rock and rap mostly but lots of other genres and sub genres, def not a trumper nor super religious but that’s totally fine if you are just givin an idea of who I am type dealll🤷🏽‍♂️ loll

Hobbies i like: Love listening and sometimes making music, playing poker, board games, video games, sport like basketball and soccer, going to outings like bars, arcades and such.

I’m new to the Northeast Minneapolis neighborhood and want to start a casual, social book club to build community and support local businesses.

We’ll meet up once a month to grab a coffee together and chat, then each order next month’s book at a rotating book store in our area. I’ll be putting up flyers, but wondering if anyone here is interested in joining?

If you have any initial recommendations for meeting spots, stores, or books you’d want to read together, I’m all ears!

Heyo Twin Cities,

We have a discord with some local guys in their 30s-40s who play various games together through the week. Right now were looking for some people who enjoy some UT2004 deathmatch and capture the flag action.

The game is free to download, timeless, and we have our own MN dedicated server.

DM me if interested with some details about yourself. Thanks!

Hello! I am a 22 year old Male who just moved to Minneapolis and I would love to meet some new friends!

I currently work as a producer for an experiential marketing agency, but for a year I drove the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile!

I love to do creative writing (I am writing a comic book!), play guitar/sing, go rock climbing, musical theater, west coast swing classes, museums, trivia, board games, video games, etc.

I am also sober (no alcohol, smoking, drugs, etc), I'd love to meet some other sober young folk, but I can still have lots of fun with anyone, anywhere! I like anything active or creative, but I am down to explore the city and try new things!

Feel free to comment or DM, thanks!

hi! i’m looking for people to hangout with in the twin cities this summer around my age-ish (21f)

i like going to the movie theatre, shopping at the mall, thrifting, pc games, road trips, and just anything outdoorsy

i’ve made another friend on here and we’d love to try making a little spontaneous friend group!!

My husband and I just moved here from Asheville, NC, and Golden, CO prior to that. We're looking to put down roots and form a community here. We both work remotely (9-5), are in our early 40's, have three dogs, enjoy being active, but also love to sit around and chat, listen to music, and just enjoy company of kind and curious people. In our free time we are frequently making things or working on projects.

Other things we fancy doing/seeing/going to: farmer's markets, art/other quirky festivals, pub trivia, pickleball (very beginner!), biking, going to movies, camping/traveling, bowling, go to concerts and comedy shows, etc. We're liberal, like to laugh/not take things too seriously, but also enjoy a quality chat about life and the universe as well. We just learned about Music Mayhem trivia and would love to try it if there are any music buffs who want to join us for this! Or any of the above!

A million years ago i was in a karaoke league and really loved it. Im looking for folks who might be interested. Here's what I remember of the format, but I'm sure I can get the organizers of that league to share info with me. I'll reach out if I get enough interest here.

This occurs at a bar or any venue with a karaok3 set up.

There are teams of 5-8 people, who compete across 3 rounds weekly. Rounds are things like - group numbers, solo acts, and a weekly changing round(musicals, boy bands, oldies).

What made competitive karaoke fun was that numbers were choreographed, we got fun outfits, fake set pieces etc.

Any karaoke fans want to start/join something similar?

If so, where should we go??

EDIT: Rail Werks Brewery it is! I'll keep this post updated when the day comes with what I'm wearing/look like so people can meet up with us. You're also welcome to shoot me message if you wanna meet up beforehand or something 😁

29M here and brand new to MN. I moved here for work and am staying alone in Eagan. I know nothing about MN besides mall of America lol. What’s some spots to visit or if there’s anyone willing to hangout get drinks, watch the World Cup or show me around! Bored out of my mind sittin here lol

I’ve heard that Applebees is also the spot to be at for some reason. Anyone willing to go grab a bite together?

I’m new here from Dallas, originally from Chicago. Let’s hang out, hit a trail, travel abroad. Where do I meet people? Geez.

I will be in Minneapolis for a week for work and was wondering if anyone could recommend places to visit and meet people. M38 and honestly any suggestions would help! just looking to kill time at night! I appreciate your recommendations!
