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! *** ***

Chef Josh is going to be making Steak Bites with au pouive sauce, and a veggie option, while squeezing out some traditional Fijian kava bowls and more progressive Kava cocktails. Kava is a root from Polynesia (The islands, where I'm from!) that is drank ceremonially/socially for thousands of years. But it may not be for everyone as it does numb the mouth and produce a body buzz. I'll have the full NA Menu of Kombuchas on draft, NA Functional bevs, NA Beers, NA Wines, and much more. Come to the beach!

Cafe Social

Sun, Jun 14, 6:00 PM

From Mature Singles Connections: Fun Gatherings

4.6

**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. 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.**
