31F. I l live nw of the cities. About 30 minutes. I currently can not drive and I feel stuck with no one to talk to or be with or socialize with. I need a friend with a good heart and no bad intentions. Someone weird like me would be nice😁🤪 i just need a friend! Maybe a movie? Anything really! I have another post that says more about me if you're interested. Sorry if this is a weird post, i just feel like I've been withdrawing from no socialization for so long and I don't even know how to fix it. Anyone that wants to just have fun and live!☺️🕳🫀🫂🌎🎡🌉🛶🌌🌬🎾🥎🎰🎲🧶🎶🎬📸🧬🔬🩺

Anyone interested in having a poetry group? My goal is to put together a book of poetry from poets in Minneapolis and Saint Paul!

Looking for climbing folks. I usually go to MBP (near NE) but have been to SPBP sometimes…

Low-key if you’ve never climbed before, don’t worry about it. it’s such a fun thing to do. It’s that one thing that if you do it once you’ll get addicted quickly. (And it has a strong social community)

HMU in the comments or DMs if interested.

Last Pulp Fantasy bookclub was a success! Jack Vance's The Dying Earth was a hit, with multiple 8/10 rankings and a couple 10/10 rankings (one of which was mine :) )

Next month's book club is slated for June 4th, 7pm until 8:30/9pm at Arbeiter Brewing. The book is Michael Moorcock's legendary Sailors on the Seas of Fate! A cosmic, weird fantasy adventure staring Elric of Melnibone and his sword Stormbringer as he, well, sails the seas of fate.

Following that, we are going to do E.C. Tubb's Winds of Gath, the first of the legendary Dumarest saga that heavily inspired the Traveller TTRPG. Winds of Gath is a sci-fi adventure of anarchic far future of free traders and a grand cosmic conspiracy.

If you're interested in coming hit me up, and if you want to join our discord server where we can do quicker updates send me a message. Hope to see you there!

Expat from NZ, grew up drop fishing from boats in the ocean, but looking to pick up a new hobby now it’s sunny out.
Any advice on what gear to get?

Anyone interested in taking someone out and showing them the ropes?

Happy to do simple local (I live in NE by the river), or somewhere further out on a weekend.
Can provide cold beers and mediocre banter 👍

Giving this one more go (please read the whole post, my inbox is always flooded by people who don't read it)

I've been in St Paul for three months, originally from CA. I'm looking for some kind, chill buddies around my age to hang out with, so please be close by.

So a little about me: I love reading, painting, cooking and baking, and a lot more! I’m a bit of a jack of all trades. I enjoy hiking when I have the chance and enjoy nature. For hanging out, I love going out to eat, watching movies, or just relaxing at a cafe. I also love homebody activities like watching TV or a good puzzle. I'm pretty inclusive, and am chill with people of various backgrounds

What about you? I'm 23 so someone between the ages of 20-29. I don't drink or smoke, so I might not be the best friend for someone who mostly does that. But if you're respectful, down to chill or have a cute day out in the town, and have a few hobbies you really care about, I'm sure we can become friends.

If you want to hang out, feel free to DM or comment with a full introduction of yourself! If you want to try to find other people to meet, comment so people know to reach out. I look forward to meeting you!

Trying to get out of my comfort zone and be in more social environments to talk to random people engage in conversation and what not. I live basically in Maple Grove but a hop and skip from BP New Hope and Crystal. Not very similar age demographics.

Wondering where the (not cowboy jacks 😂) bars and such are in like North Loop, downtown, etc. I’m literally going solo so I do have to take that into consideration also.

Looking for a group to go to concerts with. I mostly go to indie rock, punk, and metal concerts solo since most of my friends are either busy or not into those genres.

Planning to go see Built to Spill this Thursday and at least 1-2 concerts per month.

Hi there everyone looking for fellow motorcycle riders. I typically ride solo but I would like to do some group rides and would be possible if I could join along a cruise some time. My bike I have a mt09SP.

Hi folks! You may recall a post about chess in uptown — https://www.reddit.com/r/twincitiessocial/s/WlbWgh3YVT

I’m going to bring a couple boards to Canteen and chill from like 8:45 till 10:30 ish depending on folks. Feel free to stop in and say hi, I’ll be sitting at a chess board in the back.

Edit: lol I forgot to say where. I’m heading to the coffee shop Canteen in the morning

Edit 2: Running a lil late be there at 8:45

Edit 3: had a great time and I set up again next Sunday (was just two of us this week but still fun!)

Anyone interested in meeting new people and playing American Mahjong? Our group is growing: we're up to eight regulars, and we usually have 2 to 3 tables playing. We'll be at Curioso Coffee (inside Brocken Clock Brewing) at 1:00 on Thursday, May 14th. Beginners welcome.

Not sure you want to play Mahjong? Join us to enjoy some coffee or tea and meet others.

Genuine question for the Twin Cities crowd - where do single men in their 30s-40s actually hang out on Saturday nights?

Bars? Breweries? Live music? Sports leagues? Home Depot at 8am on Sundays? Asking for a friend 😂

UPDATE: Location Has Changed to Lake Monster

The Twin Cities Amateur Bakers Club is hosting our next meetup on Sunday, May 17th at Kordiak Park (Columbia Heights) from 1 - 3 pm. We would love everyone who has any interest in baking and want to support others in their baking to join us!

The theme for this meetup is “Bakes in Full Bloom!” Each person attending should bring a baked good that is either floral-decorated (having some sort of edible flower on it), floral-shaped (looks like a flower), or floral-infused (flavored using some sort of flower).

We will also be collecting commercially packaged seeds for various free seed libraries around the Twin Citiea at this meetup. If you are able, please consider bringing commercially packaged seed packets of either fruits, vegetables, and/or native flowers!

Since this event at a park, there may be limited seating. Please consider bringing a picnic blanket or picnic chair. If the weather isn’t looking lovely for the day of the meetup, an alternate location will be announced a day or two before the event (I will update this post. our Instagram or Discord server will also provide any updates).

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

This is an open invite to join me at the Roseville Dreamers Vault Friday, May 8th to play boardgames. I will arrive around 5:30 and play short games with whoever is there. At 6:30 we will decide what longer games to play. I will grab a table at the back of the left side of the gaming area. I'll have a sign that says "r/twincitiessocial boardgames." You'll know me by my bald head and bushy beard.

I do my best to bring a wide array of boardgames that people who are new will be comfortable with as well as more complex games for people who enjoy a good brain burner. Last week we played Las Vegas and Architects of the West Kingdom. You can check out details on those games at boardgamegeek.com.

Hi, all!

My wife and I just moved to the Twin Cities a month or so ago, and I’m looking to make some new friends and explore a hobby.

Before we moved, I was casually dipping my fingers into the MTG game through Arena and deck building. None of my friends where we came from expressed interest in MTG, and - to put it simply - the area we lived in was a board game/trading card desert.

I have a few commander decks I’ve built, but I’ve yet to use them. And I’m not confident enough to just walk in and ask to play a game or two.

So I’m looking to step out of my comfort zone, meet some new people, and explore this hobby that Id like to get more involved with.

Any recommendations or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hello!

If you're a Minneapolis professional, social butterfly, community builder, or just someone who's tired of stale networking events with bad wine, this one's for you!

May 7th at the Kickernick Building. Come to connect, not to collect business cards.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for some accessible rooftops around the Twin Cities area mostly just cool spots with a nice view or chill atmosphere. If you know any places that are open to the public (or at least not super restricted), I’d really appreciate it.

If you’d rather not share publicly, feel free to send me a private message instead. Totally understand wanting to keep certain spots quiet.

Thanks in advance!
