What we’re about
🔴 Important news: We've completed the transformation of this group from non-profit led to being completely run by volunteers from our wonderful community. This Meetup page is still the place to be for news about upcoming events. If you're not already a member, be sure you join this group because we will be able to communicate with you only through this Meetup group and Meetup messages sent by the group.
Our events offer a way for people to make new friends, go new places, and to do fun things together that are not focused on alcohol or romance. We insist on thoughtful, respectful behavior from everyone in the group and at our events.

- 'WICKED' AT CINEMARK CENTURY SAN MATEO 12 (WITH OPTIONAL DINNER AFTER)Cinemark Century San Mateo 12, San Mateo, CA
*** NOTE: Ticket availability for this movie is limited on the event date. We will be seeing the 3-D version that starts at 3:10 pm, which has the best availability. Folks in our group will be in seats D4-D8 and E3-E4 for this showing on Saturday, November 30. If you need tickets, we'll be reasonably close together if you can get seats in the upper section, as the theater is small. Please double-check your ticket selection(s) before purchasing (Downtown San Mateo theater) and post your seat(s) in the comments, so we can locate you.***
✨Let’s enjoy a movie together — because a Wicked Movie, Great Company, and Buttery Popcorn are a perfect match! 🎭
