A mix of a writing circle and an art collective,  Brush & Quill will use a combination of structured activities and improvisational writing and drawing to create individual and collaborative poems, prose, drawings, and paintings.   In addition to writing and art, we sometimes break out a word or art game.  Although, we sometimes do structured writing and art activities, the group, overall, is more of a social art and writing session.   We typically meet in and around Silver Spring, Rockville, an …

I would like to advance the notion that art collecting is not competitive and should be pursued without the necessity of bragging rights. I would like to explore lesser-known collecting avenues such as drawing and printmaking. I would also like to concentrate on representational painting, drawing, and printmaking by living artists. There are a fair number of good ones out there and I think it would be enjoyable and satisfying to find out who they are and attempt, within one's means, to suppor …

… Our meetups tend to range across topics, comparing and contrasting to other novels, drawing parallels to science, history, world cultures, politics, religion, or philosophy, and generally tangenting wherever the conversation takes us, often towards unexpected epiphanies (“Carrot Top is the herald of the apocalypse”). If you want a stodgy, pretentious literary critique, this probably isn’t for you. But if you’re looking for a great group of interesting people who share your love of speculative fi …

… So, I'm starting this group in hopes of drawing together music fans who like their songs fun, danceable, and melodic — retro style, with maybe a bit of the new for good measure. My hope is that we can meetup to talk about our favorite artists, songs, albums, producers, etc. And maybe eventually even have some "listening parties" or attend some local shows of interest.
