Our interests cover a wide range, including science fiction, science fact, fantasy, and many related fields.

The Star Trek Association of Towson (STAT) is a club where science fiction fans gather and socialize through monthly club meetings and an annual convention. Although founded in 1978 by Star Trek fans, STAT long ago broadened its interest to include all SF television shows, movies, books, and science. We put on the Shore Leave convention every July - it is one of the biggest fan-run SF conventions in the Eastern USA. The upcoming convention in July of 2010 marks our 32nd anniversary!

We are the oxymoron to the geek and nerd stereotype - the "social" nerds and the "chic" geeks. Sure, we love Battlestar Galactica, but that doesn't mean we can't hold our own at a high class social function. Yes, we can debate the finer points of whether Han shot first, but we can also jump into the fray and talk about the latest in pop culture. Although we can explain the relation between a "Hobbit" and a "Halfling" to someone, it doesn't mean that we locked ourselves away from society and stud …

From Andrew: While living on the west coast, I discovered the "Geek Club", a place for all things to please the inner geek in all of us! When I moved out here, I wanted to find something like that and I started this group. Our event types are really dependent on what the members ask for. Video games, museums, boardgames, movies & book discussions, it's all fair game! The group is open to all ages, genotypes, prototypes, and even meeples! From Michael:  Lived here all my life, and wanted to help …

Home of the North Virginia Browncoats We are a multi-cultural group comprising all ages and sexes. Our standard monthly activity is a Nerd Lunch held the first Saturday of the month, but have small meetups held throughout the month. These small meetups can be a simple movie outing or a trip to a local gathering, ie. the Maryland Renaissance Festival, Comic Book shows, Sci-Fi conventions, etc. Come on out and make new friends and geek out over your favorite genre topic.

Interested in meeting some cool nerds? That depends on who you define as a nerd, you may ask. You also may wonder who is welcome in the Geeks and Gaymers (spelling intentional) group. While my intention is to create a more LGBT-inclined group of friends, straight allies are very welcome as well. Nerds? Anyone who enjoys any or many of a plethora of interests, including but not limited to: Board Games, Science Fiction (Books, Films, TV, etc), Fantasy (Books/Graphic Novels, Films, TV), Speculative …

A live, as opposed to on-line, book discussion group that reads speculative fiction like Science Fiction, Fantasy, Mystery, Graphic Novels and more! As this group grow I hope to include Movie, TV, and Game nights and possibly trips to events like Balticon or even New York Comic Con. I want this to be a content rich envirionment and I plan on starting some related topics on the discussion boards. If anyone would like to help with organizing or adding content, message me!

If you are like me then you may have grown up on comics. We have also seen comics expand into movies, games, digital etc. Over the years, I have gone from DC to Marvel, currently a combination of both plus some new comers. DC has quite a few comics’ book stores, but they aren’t the places to sit back and discuss our experience. I suggest getting together at a local restaurant and having an open discussion on classic story lines and new/up to date material. Feel free to contact me if you have oth …
