Casual Meetups San Francisco

Monthly Movie Happy Hour

**We are hosting a Monthly Movie Discussion Happy Hour at the Flying Pig Bistro in the Mission every 3rd THURSDAY of the month!** Join us for an evening of movie talk with your fellow movie lovers. We'll start by forming groups where people will take turns sharing 1-2 quick movie reviews of what they've watched recently (no spoilers unless the group decides it's ok). After group sharing is done we'll mix and mingle for general discussion. Please come prepared to share at least one movie review with your group. The Flying Pig has a great selection of beverages (including non-alcoholic) as well as food for dinner or snacking. Please consider purchasing something to support the Flying Pig since we are not paying for the venue. Let me know if you have any questions!

I just have to remember to bring it next time." --Bob "I brought a vintage deck filled with proxy moxes. I won even before my opponents got to take their first turn! How cool is that! Of course, the next game I waited around while everyone destroyed everything i had in quick succession.

La Hora Feliz, Viernes en el Muddy Waters Cafe!

**La Hora Feliz at Muddy Waters Cafe!** === **NOTE TO ALL:** This is a free group. But, the owners are nice to allow us to met in their venue on a Friday night, at no cost, so even though there is no obligation, it is a nice gesture to support the place, by consuming some food or drink(s) from them. Thanks in advance! **NOTES TO NEWCOMERS:** \* If you are NEW to the event, please arrive around or after 6:30 PM. Most attendants arrive from work or after dinner, so there's NO expectation we will be right on time. If you arrive too early, just be patient, somebody will arrive! \* Most of the regulars tend Not to confirm at the Meetup invite (And that's OK, we are a relaxed group). The group is usually bigger than the number of confirmed people online. \* How to find us? The venue is small, but if in doubt, just check with anybody behind the counter. they already know most of the regulars. \* Format is 100% Spanish. It is not a language exchange, but it is usually up to whoever you are speaking to (People are friendly if you are struggling). \* The group is a mix of Spanish native speakers and medium/advanced non-native Spanish speakers. But we don't really have a minimum level, it depends on your personal level of comfort. You can always ask others to speak slowly or clarify, that's OK. Everybody is nice and friendly! Salud! -Viviana, Elisa, Diana, Federico (And the rest of the regulars),
