Pints & Perspectives: Oysters, Cocktails, & Patio Hang
Sat, Aug 8, 1:00 AMKicking off August with our 2nd meetup with a pint, glass of wine, or one of the amazing cocktails or mocktails found in Emeryville (the bartenders are phenomenal!) Heading to Prizefighter in Emeryville for their summer Salty Pearl Friday! Great local food (or you can bring in your own) Good people, relaxed conversation, and laid-back East Bay vibes. Whether you recently relocated to the Bay Area or you’re a longtime local looking to swap some stories and meet some down-to-earth folks, come pull up a chair on the outdoor patio with us. I'll be reserving a few tables and the location is dog friendly so feel free to bring your pup! * **When:** Friday, August 7th at 6:00 PM * **Where:** Prizefighter (3401 San Pablo Ave, Emeryville) - we'll be out on the patio! Come say hello—we can't wait to meet you! ⚠️ **A Quick Note on RSVPs:** Space on the patio is limited, and we want to make sure everyone who wants to attend actually can! At our last meetup, about half of the RSVPs ended up being no-shows. Because our attendee cap was full, it meant some really great people on the waitlist missed out on coming. If your plans change (totally get that life happens!), please update your RSVP at least 24 hours in advance so I can automatically open up your spot for someone on the waitlist. Thank you so much for helping keep this a respectful and fun community!

Coffee Talk at Ain’t Normal Cafe
Sat, Aug 1, 4:30 PMOne of my favorite weekend rituals is grabbing a pastry at Starter Bakery and a coffee at Ain’t Normal in Rockridge. If you haven’t been to either, you’re in for a treat! Ain’t Normal is a multi-roaster cafe that takes coffee seriously. Come hang out and chat with fellow group members. As per usual, feel free to bring any beans that you’re drinking and really digging (not a requirement, just a fun talking point). If you bring beans and are open to it, bring a bag or container and you can trade beans with someone. Also the cafe is right next to the Rockridge BART station which makes it very easy to get there. See y’all on Saturday!

Stitch & Sip
Wed, Aug 5, 1:30 AMBring your knitting, crochet, embroidery, cross-stitch, or any project you are working on. If you are an absolute beginner and would like to get started, I suggest picking up a kit to get you started on a project.
