Please sign up for email updates so we can contact you. Your email will not be public.
That said...there are some rules.
Please post a close up photo of your face and a name (not a number) when you request to be a member!
If you respond "yes" for an event please show up on time. If you change your mind please change your RSVP to "no" so the event host is not waiting and watching for you.
If you respond "yes" and the event fills, you will move to the "wait list"...but if you change your mind...please change your response to "no". The wait list moves up automatically when someone drops out. So pay attention to the wait list and your email.
If you "no show" 3 times without a good excuse to the event host or to me you will risk being removed from the group.
After those admonitions we DO hope to see you at an event! You make the meetup!!

You might remember a movie in the 90s called "This Boy's Life" starring Robert DeNiro and a very young Leonardo DiCaprio.Tobias Wolff (born June 19, 1945, Birmingham, Alabama, U.S.) is an American writer who is primarily known for his memoirs and for his short stories, in which many voices and a wide range of emotions are skillfully depicted.
Wolff’s parents divorced when he was a child. From the age of 10, he traveled with his mother, who relocated frequently and finally settled in Seattle, Washington, where she remarried. Wolff wrote about his childhood in the 1950s, including his relationship with his abusive stepfather, in This Boy’s Life: A Memoir (1989; film 1993), which was perhaps his best-known work. His older brother, the novelist Geoffrey Wolff, was brought up by their father (an aeronautical engineer and a pathological liar) and wrote about his childhood in The Duke of Deception: Memories of My Father (1979). The brothers were reunited when Tobias was a young teenager.
Wolff served in the military as a paratrooper during the Vietnam War, after which he was educated at the University of Oxford (B.A., 1972; M.A., 1975) and Stanford University (M.A., 1978). He was appointed writer in residence at Syracuse (New York) University, where he taught from 1980 to 1997. His first published collections of short stories were In the Garden of the North American Martyrs (1981; U.K. title, Hunters in the Snow) and Back in the World (1985). Wolff also edited several anthologies of short stories, including Matters of Life and Death: New American Stories (1983), A Doctor’s Visit: Short Stories by Anton Chekhov (1988), and The Vintage Book of Contemporary American Short Stories (1994).
