Job Seeker Meetup: An in-person peer support space for job seekers

This is a relaxed, in-person gathering where job seekers can connect, share, and support one another through the ups and downs of the job search. Looking for work can feel isolating — but you’re not alone. This is a welcoming space to: * Talk openly about your experience * Swap advice, encouragement, or leads * Build a community of people who truly understand * Learn practical job search strategies from career coach Annie Nogg. Whether you're between jobs, changing careers, or figuring out your next step — this is a place for you. **This program takes place in the Jobs and Career Center - 4th Floor of the Main Library (100 Larkin Street)**

Discover SF -- Haight Ashbury Street Fair

WhatsApp: https://chat.whatsapp.com/J063PZxP0WE5BLU0gwl3Ll \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- You must have seen this iconic image somewhere, yes, that is Haight Ashbury, a neighborhood known for counter culture, and histories. Haight Ashbury is where the Summer of Love happened in 1967. Also Grateful Dead, Hippies, counter culture etc.. The Victorians are still there, and so are the record stores, the vintage shops, the head shops and the murals. It's a genuinely great six blocks to walk. And on this Sunday, the Height Ashbury Street Fair would hold its 47th event. We will be there, a walk through history. **Our day:** coffee at 11:30, an easy walk up into Buena Vista Park for the view, then down through the fair with a few stops where we tell you what actually happened on each corner. At 2:15 we walk out the far end into Golden Gate Park for **Comedy Day** — a completely separate free festival that happens to land on the same Sunday, five minutes away, in its 45th year, with 50-plus comedians. Blanket on the grass for the afternoon, then dinner in the Inner Sunset for whoever's hungry. Two unrelated free festivals, one Sunday, five minutes apart. That's the whole reason we picked this date. \#\# What we'll stop at **Buena Vista Park.** The city's oldest park, 1867, and a real forest in the middle of San Francisco. The crest is where they lit the fire, and it's one of the best views in town. One more thing nobody tells you: when the city moved its cemeteries out in the 1930s, WPA crews lined the park's drainage gutters with leftover marble headstones. They're still there — you can read names and dates off the stones under your feet. **710 Ashbury.** The Grateful Dead's house from 1966, raided October 2, 1967, everyone arrested, front page news. Private home now, so sidewalk only and keep it down. **635 Ashbury** half a block up is where Janis Joplin lived. **The Psychedelic Shop on Haight.** The Thelin brothers opened it in January 1966, before there was a scene to sell to. It's where the funeral was organized, and where Ron gave away every last thing on the shelves the day it happened. **Haight & Clayton — the Free Clinic.** Opened at 558 Clayton in June 1967 on a single argument: health care is a right, not a privilege. Thousands of kids had arrived with no money and no doctor, so somebody built them one. The free clinic model spread across the country from this corner. Of everything the sixties made here, this is the piece that lasted — not a sound, not a look. An institution. **The Panhandle**, one block north the whole way, where the funeral ended. Free concerts on a flatbed — the Dead, Big Brother, Jefferson Airplane, playing for nothing. The Diggers handed out free food here every afternoon, on the theory that if you can just give things away, you should. **Amoeba Music, 1855 Haight.** In a converted bowling alley since 1997, still one of the largest record stores anywhere. Not a plaque, not a museum — somebody's actual job. **And the fair itself,** which started in 1978 with Supervisor Harvey Milk's backing. That's a full decade after everything above, when the Haight had been through hard years and people were trying to bring it back. Worth knowing while you're standing in it. What's under your feet isn't the Summer of Love — it's the people who stayed after. \*\*\* \#\# The day **11:30 — Coffee To The People, 1206 Masonic Ave.** Right at the fair's east gate. Couches, bookshelves, been there forever. Say hi, get a coffee, meet a few people before we move. **12:00 — Up into Buena Vista Park.** A gentle climb through the trees to the crest. Introductions happen here. **12:45 — Down Haight Street** through the fair, stopping at the places above. Six blocks, no rush, nobody marching. **2:00 — Out at Stanyan.** **2:15 — Hippie Hill and Robin Williams Meadow.** Five minutes into Golden Gate Park. The slope above the meadow is Hippie Hill, where the drum circle has been going more or less continuously since 1967 and will be going on Sunday. We set up at the bottom of it for **Comedy Day** — a separate festival with its own organizers, in its 45th year, 50-plus comedians, noon to 5pm, also free. Blanket down, and that's where we are for three hours. **5:00 — Comedy ends.** **5:30 — Optional Dinner in the Inner Sunset.** Fifteen minutes through the park to 9th & Irving, which is nothing but places to eat. We'll pick on the day and split across a couple of tables. Come if you're hungry, peel off if you're done. No reservation, nobody counting. **Join [TownFlame](http://www.townflame.org/), Make Life Happen.** **Liability Waiver:** Participation in TownFlame events is voluntary and involves social interaction in public spaces.

Designers and Engineers at Salesforce Park

**RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/UL9L3xS2ksuRqWeh34rd **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later** Hey builders and creatives, Join me for an evening of real shop talk about the thing on all of our minds right now: how AI is reshaping what it means to be a designer or an engineer. We'll kick things off with about an hour of app-guided one-on-one chats to break the ice, and then we'll split into small groups to head out for a bite at a local spot. The Gist IRL app handles all the pairings, so you always know exactly who you're chatting with next and can dive straight into the good stuff: What's actually in your stack right now? Cursor, Claude Code, Figma Make, v0, Lovable, something I haven't heard of yet? What's changed about how you work in the last six months? And the big one - how are people actually landing jobs in this market? Referrals, portfolios, side projects, going independent? Everyone at this event is navigating the same shift, and it's a fantastic way to compare notes with your peers in a warm, easygoing setting. Once the rounds wrap up, the best part begins. You'll select a few of the folks you hit it off with the most, form a small squad, and pick a nearby restaurant and head to dinner together right then and there. By the end of the evening, you're at a table with 4-6 designers and engineers swapping workflows, hot takes, and job-search war stories over a great meal. Whether these folks become your regular dinner crew, your go-to people for "hey, have you tried this tool," or you just enjoy a really memorable night out in the city, I know you'll be glad you came. The Plan: 6:00PM: Check-In. Follow the link to set up your quick profile on your phone. 6:05PM - 7:25PM: One-on-One Rounds. The app pairs you for focused chats. Find out who's using what, how AI is changing their day-to-day, and what's working (and not working) in the job hunt right now. 7:25PM+: Form Groups & head to dinner. Reconnect with your favorite matches, form groups of 4-6, and pick a nearby restaurant and head to dinner - your group leaves together tonight. Let's skip the usual routine of just collecting contacts and instead actually go to dinner together, maybe even discovering the people you'll be trading tool recommendations and job leads with all year. And when the plates are cleared, you can easily keep the conversation going through the app without ever needing to hand out your phone number. I'm so excited to gather around a table with you all and see where the night takes us. **RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/UL9L3xS2ksuRqWeh34rd **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later**

Adventure SF -- Cracking Folsom Street Fair

**History walk • Group volunteering • Explore one of San Francisco's most unconventional festivals** You may have heard of SF's famous Folsom Street Fair, or you may have wanted to check it out one day but never made it. Here is a chance to do so, with a group, with an official role in the festival. Folsom Street Fair is a unique SF culture adventure experience, as **weird** as SF can get. It is the world's largest leather and kink event, having 250k to half a million visitors every year. Fairly dense in one day. Definitely 18+ adult theme. https://www.folsomstreet.org/ Its volunteer organizer is turnout.org, which we have cooperated in the Pride parade before. So we will do a history tour of the festival, then attend the festival as volunteers. The recommended shifts are: Safety Team Support 2-5pm There are also other shifts, like volunteer sign in, floaters, hospitality etc., you can check them out and sign up at below. Yes, you must sign up there to attend the group volunteering. https://turnoutinc.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/?id=90549 The role of safety team support is to walk the festival ground in pairs or groups, under the instruction of the safety team. So you get this official role to wander the ground, watch all the actions, while doing good, as part of the festival organizing body. We think group volunteering after a history tour is the right way to crack this niche festival of SF. Of course the volunteering part is optional, you are also free to attend it as simply spectators. ## The day **12:00 — Sightglass Coffee, 270 7th St.** Coffee, introductions. Two floors, plenty of room, just outside the closure. **12:30 — Step off.** **12:45 — Ringold Alley.** One block south of Folsom, between 8th and 9th. It's a registered historical landmark and a public memorial to the leather community — bronze bootprints and granite markers set into the pavement, names of people who built this neighborhood. Almost nobody walking to the fair knows it's there. We're stopping here first on purpose: it makes today a history instead of a spectacle. **1:00 — West along Harrison.** One block parallel to the fair. You'll hear it for fifteen minutes before you see it. This is the stretch where our Friend Circle happens, so you go into your shift knowing the people you're working beside. **1:15 — Eagle Plaza, 398 12th St.** The public plaza built for the leather community next to the SF Eagle, with bronze stars set into the walkway and the leather pride flag overhead. Last stop. **1:25 — Volunteer HQ.** Check in, badge, coat check, grab something from the hospitality tent. They ask Folsom volunteers to arrive early because you have to cross the fair to get there. **2:00 — Shift starts.** **\~5:30/6:00 — Shift ends.** Back to HQ, food, and we regroup there. **6:30pm** Optional group coffee/dinner Folsom Street is a nonprofit that has given away more than $7 million to community organizations since 1984, almost entirely on the backs of volunteers. That's the machine we're spending an afternoon inside of. See you at Sightglass.
