Meetup Web Scraper CLI gem

Description

Search Meetup.com for events near you via a command line interface.

Objectives

1. Provide a CLI
2. CLI must provide access to data from a web page.
3. The data provided must go at least one level deep, generally by showing the user a list of available data and then being able to drill down into a specific item.
4. Use good OO design patterns.
5. Convert the app into a gem
