What we’re about
Experimental, group focused on trying new things, creating unique events, growing as a person, making friends, and taking intentional action to try to become a better you.
Is it better to be alone, or with people?
Are you more likely to hit a goal if it's well defined and you know what you're aiming for?
Will the outcome be the same regardless of what you do, or do your actions determine or impact the result?
How does one build a strong community and really get to know people?
Time flies and life gets busier as you go, so you have to be more intentional to set aside time to maintain relationships or to make progress on a goal/ side project. I find it doesn't tend to just happen randomly or on it's own.
What kind of person are you aiming to be? What does the best you look like?
What hinders you or prevents you from becoming who you want to be?
Is there a cost if you don't reach your goals?
I'd like to push myself and encourage others to grow in these areas. It won't be perfect, but even just trying seems to have a merit on its own. I find it's easier to work and be creative when you have others who are similarly minded/ passionate.
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Cooking Mondays4020 W Ray Rd, Chandler, AZ
Experimental event. Plan to start cooking around 6pm.
Been wanting to learn how to cook for awhile, I'm no expert, but here's an event to get myself to cook more often. Feel free to join in if you'd like. I'll plan to try to make some kind of food item this day (and perhaps over time, make it in bulk for meal prepping)
To sustainably make this event public, I ask that if you are able to, please contribute $3-5 to help with the cost of ingredients. If you have more experience and are open to teaching, that could be a possibility as well.

I'd like to try to get myself in the habit of doing certain events, but I also want to help declutter this main page and make it easier to see variety of events. As such, I may post official events less often, but if anyone wants to help me test my website side projects, and also attend events off the official, feel free to check out this site I'm trying to build out

*Not comfortable putting my addy publicly, so MESSAGE ME on Meetup OR TEXT me 480-516-2582 for address prior to it starting. I'm within about a mile of the map addy below. If I don't hear from you by the day of the event and I know you don't have the addy, I may move you off of the Yes RSVP list.As a heads up, my house has cameras set up throughout to discourage bad behavior. I don't go through the footage unless something comes up, but here's a heads up so you're aware.
- Tech Tues - Learn Programming / Website Dev + Side Projects4020 W Ray Rd, Chandler, AZ
Wider time range to accommodate more ppl, no need to stay the whole time or arrive at the start.
If you want to do programming, this is ~probably more suited for those who already know the basics. But, even if you're ground zero, I could direct you to some educational material/ vids, and then just help answer questions here and there.
Doesn't have to be coding related, feel free to bring a side project of your own to work on, a book to read, an item to crochet, etc. I have some misc workstation computers that you as needed.
This is primarily a learning/educational/productivity event, so please only come if you primarily plan to focus and try to learn and get work done.
Simple example websites I've created:
https://talk.azfriend.us
https://reactui.azfriend.usCan also include game development. I've created simple computer game demos, which ppl can contribute to in various ways, code, music, art, story-writing, etc:
