We are a group of independent game developers, students, and fans. We share a passion for game development and the independent games that we love to play. We meet every other Sunday at the Schaumburg Public Library, at 6pm. Our meetups usually last around 2 - 3 hours but the great thing about the meetup is the relationships with other developers that you will build. We are not just colleagues we are friends and are willing to help with feedback on projects and other needs that fellow indie …

I was 36 when I had my first baby and found out I was pregnant with my youngest right before my 40th birthday. When I got together for playdates, I was always surprised that I was 10 years older than the other moms. They were in grade school when I was in college! It would have been nice to meet some other moms who grew up in the same decade as I did and spoke the same language. If you are a "mature" mom looking to meet other women who are going from breastfeeding to hot flashes, come to Nibbles …

Sometimes being a geek girl is a lonely experience. It's hard connect with other women when they're staring at you funny because you're trying to explain your theory that the nature of a child's mutation stems partially from genetics as seen in Polaris and Magneto, but mostly from some sort of trauma before puberty - the time in which most mutants first exhibit abilities.

The Meetup Group is unaf …

Underwater WHAT? Underwater Hockey is a co-ed, non-contact, water sport played on the bottom of the pool. It is a very unique game in that it is 3-dimensional and requires you to play while holding your breath. Players wear fins, for speed, as well as masks, snorkels, and protective gloves and headgear. The sticks are short -- about one foot long -- so players can move them quickly through the water. Sticks flick and flash as players maneuver the puck on the bottom, shoot the puck past (or over) …

… We will descend on unsuspecting clubs like an unruly flash mob, spinning and grinding and gyrating (and maybe doing 'the lasso') until we stumble sweatily out the doors, hungry for the nearest taco/pizza shop. We'll share tips and advice on what to wear (and what not to wear) out, seek out fun nights at different clubs, practice hilarious synchronized moves together (with no expectations of ever getting good at them), and support each other no matter how bad we look.   For those of you who are i …
