What we’re about
This meetup is a collective of creative and curious souls who want to be inspired by the world and each other. Whether it’s a visit to a Museum in New York, a concert in Princeton or watching the sunset on a junk in Ha Long Bay, we can share the wonders together.
A little about me…. I’ve been a professional photographer for over 18 years. I’ve actually been designated a Master photographer by the Professional Photographers of America (PPA). I am one of the few women to have this distinction. I’m also a lover of travel, food, art, music, theater and great conversation! This group should satisfy my many pleasures. I presently also facilitate Princeton Fine Dining also. Whether you are a painter, a writer, a photographer, a musician, a gourmet, an architect or just someone who enjoys all the wonders and culture of the world, please join me. You may reside in Princeton or San Francisco; it really doesn’t matter. This group is about travel, beauty, culture and camaraderie.
Join me for the adventure.

Hoping the Spring weather has finally arrived for Princeton Porchfest! The fourth annual Princeton Porchfest will be held Saturday, April 26 from 12-6pm, hosted by Arts Council of Princeton.
Porchfest is a free, walkable music festival where neighbors offer up their front porches as DIY concert venues. Talented performers play 45-minute sets throughout the neighborhood during this day-long celebration of music, art, and our wonderful community.
Though walking around town is not really conducive to a meetup group activity (everyone get's lost), this year Porchfest will conclude with the Official Porchfest After-Party! There will be three musical sets on the Palmer Square stage, to begin at 3:30pm. We can bring your lawn chairs or blankets to Palmer Square and meet as a group. Enjoy lawn games, bubbles, and beer.

- Just in Time on Broadway SOLD OUTCircle in the Square, New York, NY
I know I'm always complaining about juke box musicals, but here is one I actually want to see. Johnathan Groff is such a mega talent of musical theater. I'd love to hear him sing all those romantic songs of the 50's and 60's for 2 hours.
Tony Award® winner Jonathan Groff (Merrily We Roll Along, Hamilton) returns to Broadway this spring as Bobby Darin, the legendary singer whose short but remarkable life took him from teen idol to global sensation. Developed and directed by Tony Award winner Alex Timbers (Moulin Rouge), Just In Time is an exhilarating new musical that immerses audiences in an intimate, swinging nightclub complete with a live band, a stellar ensemble cast, and iconic Bobby Darin hits including “Beyond the Sea,” “Mack the Knife,” “Splish Splash,” and “Dream Lover.” Discover the man behind the music – a once-in-a-lifetime talent who knew his time was limited and was determined to make a splash before it was too late.

- Good Night, and Good Luck. SOLD OUTThe Winter Garden Theater, New York, NY
I've had a lot of requests to see the production with George Clooney. Tickets are very pricy because he's in it but I was able to snag some rear orchestra group tickets for 1/2 price. I think this is a very timely piece for today!
In a landmark theatrical event, two-time Academy Award® winner George Clooney makes his Broadway debut in Good Night, and Good Luck, an electrifying stage adaptation of the critically acclaimed film.Tune in to the golden age of broadcast journalism and Edward R. Murrow’s (Clooney) legendary, history-altering, on-air showdown with Senator Joseph McCarthy. As McCarthyism casts a shadow over America, Murrow and his team at CBS choose to confront the growing tide of paranoia and propaganda, even if it means turning the federal government and a worried nation against them.
Under the direction of Tony Award®-winner David Cromer, from the original screenwriters Clooney and Grant Heslov, Good Night, and Good Luck chronicles a time in American history when truth and journalistic integrity stood up to fearmongering and disinformation - and won.
TICKETS: The rear side** orchestra seats are for $164.00 are out
