I don't believe the East coast has a monopoly on intellectuals. I mean what smart person wouldn't want to live in this climate? But it can be difficult to find the smart, well-educated, cultured people here. So, if you think you fit that description and are interested in meeting other brainy people for friendship, dating, or networking, please join us. Suggest a meetup-arts, cultural events, live music, hike, book discussions, politics, etc.

For those of us that are into the more subdued, intellectual side of life and just happen to be queer. Take note that this group will focus more on the book-reading, museum-going, tabletop-gaming, or just generally quiet getting-to-know-you aspect of things... and is likely to be the antithesis of the popper-sniffing, club-going, casual-encounter side of the rainbow. Nerds, geeks and dorks alike are all welcome!
