Marin Brunch Club: Cultivar (Sausalito)

Sun, Jun 14, 7:30 PM

From Marin Brunch Club

Six seats. Good wine. Even better conversation. Cultivar recently opened in Sausalito and it’s exactly the kind of place worth gathering around — intimate, inviting, and new enough that it still feels like a find. **What to expect:** A relaxed mid-day Sunday brunch with a group of people who enjoy good conversation. And if the mood strikes after, Sausalito’s downtown is fun to explore with local shops and waterfront views. **Who this is for:** You like exploring new places. You’d rather have one real conversation than five forgettable ones. You care about the atmosphere and even more about the people in it. We’re slowly building a small group of people who look forward to seeing each other. We’d love to see you there. **To reserve your spot:** All attendees will initially be placed on a **waitlist**. As this event has limited space, not all waitlisted guests will be moved to the **“Going”** list. Once you receive my direct message, you will be moved to the **“Going”** list only after your deposit* is received. *There is a $20 deposit to secure your spot. All deposits will be returned to you at brunch or if you cancel with more than 24 hrs notice. Why the hold? Small groups only work when everyone shows up. This keeps us accountable to each other from day one. Thank you for understanding!

The Friday Night Exhale: Tacos & Taps

Sat, Jun 6, 1:00 AM

From Pints & Perspectives: Social for late 30's-early 50's

**The Friday Night Exhale @ Wondrous Brewery in Emeryville** Let’s kick off the weekend by trading our professional hats for something a bit more human. Join us for a night of good craft and real conversation. We spend enough time being "on" in our careers—tonight, let’s just be people. I’m looking forward to hearing about your favorite travel memories, the music that gets you through the week, or the board game you're secretly a nerd for—the stuff that makes you *you* outside of the office. **The Details:** * **The Vibe:** Low-stakes and high-quality. Let’s leave the LinkedIn talk, business cards, and politics at the office. We’re here to exhale, not debate! This group is open to all genders, sexualities, and backgrounds. * **Seating:** We’re capping under 20 people across a few smaller tables in the outdoor area so we can move around and keep the conversation flowing. * **Food:** BYO-Eats! There's a Mexican spot on the corner with great tacos—feel free to grab some and bring them over! * **Furry Friends:** The patio is dog-friendly, so feel free to bring your pup. * **The Fun:** I’ll be bringing a few board games and conversation starters to break the ice. Look for me in the **brown boots and jean jacket** when you arrive—I can’t wait to meet you! *** ***

If you’re curious about the typical age range, it can be hard to predict, as many attendees discover the event through online advertising and don’t RSVP in advance. Because of this, I don’t always know exactly who or what ages will be attending—this is also a big reason the event is free to attend. Based on my experience hosting 100+ events, the predominant age range tends to be 30–65, though each event is unique and attracts a diverse mix of people. **DISCLAIMER:** This event is advertised on multiple social media platforms, so the RSVP count may not reflect the actual attendance. The host is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged belongings. Additionally, the host is not responsible for the DJ, live band, or any music played at the venue. **Please bring PHYSICAL ID \~** Only requirement to attend Singles Mingle is that you're single (your wing person does not have to be single, they just won't receive a wristband or an icebreaker game but they are welcome to attend with you). **ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER:** Food and drinks are available for purchase and not included with Singles Mingle. **Mission Statement:** Singles Mingle is on a mission to get singles off of dating apps and out meeting one another in person. Our goal is to offer a refreshing alternative to dating apps by providing monthly events where singles can meet, make friends, and enjoy a lively social atmosphere. We believe in the power of face-to-face connections and aim to create a space where individuals can step out of their comfort zones, delete the dating apps, and experience the genuine joy of mingling. Join us at Singles Mingle and let's redefine the way you approach meeting new people.

May 2026 Book Discussion: Aftertaste - Daria Lavelle

Sun, May 31, 7:00 PM

From Books & Brew (Oakland Bookclub)

4.8

The results are in! The book we'll be reading and discussing for our May meetup is: Aftertaste by Daria Lavelle. ***Summary***: Konstantin Duhovny is a haunted man. His father died when he was ten, and ghosts have been hovering around Kostya ever since. Kostya can’t exactly see the ghosts, but he can taste their favorite foods. Flavors of meals he’s never eaten will flood his mouth, a sign that a spirit is present. Kostya has kept these *aftertastes* a secret for most of his life, but one night, he decides to act on what he’s tasting. And everything changes. Kostya discovers that he can reunite people with their deceased loved ones—at least for the length of time it takes for them to eat a dish that he’s prepared. He thinks his life’s purpose might be to offer closure to grieving strangers, and sets out to learn all he can by entering a particularly fiery ring of Hell: the New York culinary scene. But as his kitchen skills catch up with his ambitions, Kostya is too blind to see the catastrophe looming in the Afterlife. And the one person who knows Kostya must be stopped also happens to be falling in love with him. Set in the bustling world of New York restaurants and teeming with mouthwatering food writing, *Aftertaste* is a whirlwind romance, a heart-wrenching look at love and loss, and a ghost story about all the ways we hunger—and how far we’d go to find satisfaction. Lavelle’s debut is a multi-course tasting menu of a book that will sate, delight, excite, comfort, and inspire even the pickiest of readers.
