About us
Welcome to our Food, Music and Fun and Friends social group! (FMFF); also known as Feast and Beats.
This is a community for people who love to explore new flavors, enjoy live music and participate in exciting activities. Our events range from trying out new restaurants and food festivals to attending concerts and organizing game nights. We value diversity, inclusivity and having a good time. Join us and let’s create unforgettable memories together!
A few items to note:
No Shows: Organizing events takes a lot of effort and planning. Sometimes we even make paid reservations for attendees. As such, when someone doesn’t show up without updating their RSVP, it can negatively impact our ability to host successful events. To help us accurately determine attendance, please make sure to update your RSVP status regularly.
This is a common courtesy that we expect all members to follow. We monitor our events for No-Shows and will remove members who have more than three instances of not showing up without notice. Additionally, changing your RSVP to “Not-Going” on the same day as the event will also be monitored for repeat occurrences. After three strikes, the member will be removed from the group. Please adhere to these policies so that we can continue to grow our community and provide a fun and enjoyable experience for everyone.
No Tolerance for Bad Behavior: We expect all members to treat each other with respect and kindness. Any form of misbehavior will not be tolerated and will result in immediate removal from the group. If any member makes you feel uncomfortable or disrespected in any way, please let the host know so that appropriate action can be taken.
