Hi right back at you! Seems we have similiar interests...my undergrads in SpEd and I have a JD. I am an RtI guy for CPS...Area 1. We should definitely meet-up for coffee and conversation. How's your next few weeks look?

Hi Frank! What a great profile! I was smiling as I read the whole thing. Couldn't agree more about New Zealand- what an amazing country for so many reasons! I chuckled about your wine+blizzard tale- sometimes that exactly what you must do when you travel! Have a drink and make the best of a seemingly bad situation. And exactly, a "shift in perspective." If only more Americans understood this profound mindset.

Hi Frank! Welcome to the HSP Group; it's a pleasure to have you with us. I appreciate what you said about Dr. Aron's book.. it had the same pivotal effect on me. I look forward to hearing more from you on the 14th :-) So glad you can come!

Being a painter I see the isms in planes, it's a ride to work through but at the end of the ride there's purity and peace. Is it all Tao or just the peace? Focused attention seems to work too!

Primitivism, nihilism, modernism, determinism, fatalism... Okay that's enough of "-isms" for today. My head hurts.

The Creative Social Club (CSC) is the largest multi-disciplinary, eclectic Meetup Group dedicated to the arts in Chicago, organized exclusively to facilitate socializing and the shared enjoyment of life. Comprised of current and aspiring creative professionals, creatively oriented individuals, and enthusiasts of human creativity, the CSC meets regularly to celebrate diverse expressions of the human experience – encompassing visual arts, literary arts, performance arts, and more – while taking advantage of the exceptional social, cultural, and entertainment amenities that Chicago offers as a world-class city. Nearly shut down when its Founder left the group in July 2009, the CSC has grown to over 1,000 members with over 50 Meetups, excellent ratings, and positive reviews.

Although our members include a core of accomplished creative professionals, participation in the Creative Social Club is strongly encouraged for any individuals who have a healthy appreciation for human creativity and enjoy socially and positively engaging other people who share the same passion. Members tend to be smart, sociable, laid back, and happy people. Along with its sister group, the Good Times Institute (GTI), the CSC endeavors to be "well-organized and relaxed", with "fun, friendly, smart people to be around", as described by one of our group reviews. We try to do things just a little differently from other Meetup Groups – more personal, less formal/reverent, unconventional, and innovative/risk-taking. Membership is FREE as Meetup is our labor of love, and we are also cost-conscious in organizing Meetups with starving artists in mind. For a more detailed description including an overview of the variety of Meetups we organize, click here. See the video below for a fun moment from one of our Meetups.

Our motto is "Be Creative. Be Social". If you are worried that you are not creative enough to join, just be more social. And remember: Membership in the CSC is free, but you only enjoy its full benefits if you participate.

Welcome to the Creative Social Club!
