Speed Friending - Board Games / Social Games

Join us at Oakland United Beerworks on Sunday. Let’s bust out the board games, play throughout the night, and name new friends along the way. The bar has it's own collection of games but we encourage people and are happy to bring their own games as well so that we may be introduced to new forms of fun. We'll drink ans make lasting memories. It's a great way to interact and meet new people in the area. If you dont drink and dont wanna play games, that's cool too. Feel free to just chill out and chat with others. The more, the merrier! There’s food available at the spot. We will go somewhere after the event if people want to continue the night.

Drink and Draw: [Insert theme/prompt here]

Just some convivial folks hanging out at a neighborhood pub with their skechbooks. You don't have to be an "artist," or whatever that means, to be here. Bringing art supplies is a great idea though! Hydration is encouraged! The Flying Pig sells soft drinks and other n/a options as well as beer and cider. 
We come up with a theme or prompt for each week. You're free to use it or ignore it. It's about inspiring to stray from the norm. Speaking of which, this week's theme/prompt is [TBA]

Cafe Social

**Friends** Please read carefully as there is new info here. This event meets 2nd and 4th Sunday of every month. **This week we are meeting at Espresso Roma Cafe in Berkeley. There are a few picnic tables on the side of the cafe that can accommodate about 24 people. When facing the cafe they are on the left side in the grassy area. We may meet there or at the long tables under the canopy depending upon availability. For new attendees we will have a balloon on the table to identify our group. We hope new people will become regulars to this social group, Do not attend if you are on the waitlist as this is causing the crowd to get too large. Sign up early as seating is limited at the cafe. If you show up and are not on the going list you will be asked to leave or sit somewhere else. Three no shows will get you removed from the group so please change your RSVP if you cannot make it and give someone on the waitlist a chance to come. Please don’t do this at the last minute unless it’s an emergency. We will initially allow 10 members on the going list and then we will be adding people from the waitlist balancing out the event by gender. We will be posting the coffee meetups month by month to give more of the newcomers a chance to sign up and get a spot. Moving forward we will talk to the owners about providing enough chairs for the long tables and not just the smaller ones. Thanks to everyone in advance for your cooperation.** Read less ## Attendees
