Poetry, short stories, plays, novels, history, philosophy, science, not necessarily in that order, classics that are worthy of discussion, current and past, western and non-western, these are the works we discuss. The discussion is what is most important. We discuss these works to enlarge our understanding of the ideas that shape our culture and gain a deeper appreciation for what it means to be human.

Having spent a good part of my life in Marin, I'll be the first to admit that the county isn't exactly known for its nightlife. But that doesn't mean there's nothing to do here once the sun goes down! This group is intended for those who want to explore the potential of Marin nightlife, be it meeting and mingling at a local lounge, checking out a new restaurant (or an old favorite), dancing to live music, seeing a show or theater event, attending a book or poetry reading, braving an open-mic ni …

… Sometimes, we'll do Salon-style creative gatherings in private homes where we can share poetry, song, dance, photography, painting, etc. (I welcome any Caps who want to be a co-organizer or who want to host a gathering to get in touch with me.) My next birthday will be my 50th...and I wondered how many other Caps with birthdays the day AFTER Christmas (or other "lost in the shuffle" dates) there were in the Bay Area. Wouldn't it be something to create a camaraderie through this venue...where Cap …

Seeking anyone who enjoys making music with their mouth like Bobby McFerrin. Do you sing, whistle, or beat box? Actual instruments are NOT needed, but skilled musicians are still welcome. I hope to unite a mix of interesting people and styles for a recording and performance project. Most beat box is like rap or pop beats, so maybe we can take it to a new level with big band classics or jazz standards. I would value any feedback so we can get this group started. Thank you ~Gino Jazz
