This is a group intended to facilitate a network of Irish Expats and friends who enjoy getting together for a chat, attending Irish events, reminiscing about Ireland and all things Irish. I started this group to connect with fellow Irish countrymen and women in the Hartford area and beyond. Suggestions welcome.

So I came across a meetup group entitled "No Kidding" that specifically targeted people without children, but wanted to do everything I was interested in doing. So this group was born. There is no reason we can't have it all! Fun, friends, social life (outside of children's social calendar) and more. I believe and have been told that this next phase of life is about being friends with your childrens' friend's parents - I'm sure I messed the punctuation on that phrase - but the facts are the fact …

We meet on Thursday nights in Sandy Hook, typically, and occasionally on weekends. We are looking for fiction writers who are serious about their craft. You don't need a ton of experience, but you d …

For many medieval-fantasy enthusiasts, a visit to a renaissance faire is the result of a convergence of an interest in history and mythology, a personal creative spark, and the drive to bring the vision of the imagination to life. But the faire season seems to flash by, and we find ourselves anxiously awaiting the bud of spring green to herald in the next adventuring season for our inner hero/heroine. But the adventure need not fade with the fall of the las …
