☀️ Private Pool Potluck Party & Splash! 🏊♂️ (South Bay LA)
Sun, Aug 16, 9:00 PMLet’s beat the August heat with a relaxing afternoon of swimming, great food, and awesome company! We are hosting an intimate, private pool party for a small group of 12 to 15 people to keep things cozy and fun. 📅 **When & Where** • Date: Sunday, August 16th, 2026 • Time: 2 PM onwards • Location: Private residence in South Bay LA (The exact address will be sent directly to confirmed attendees the day before the event). 🍔 **Food & Drinks (Potluck & BYOB)** • Food: Please bring a dish to share! Think main dishes, summer salads, finger foods, fruits, or desserts. • Drinks: This event is BYOB. Please bring your own alcohol, soda, or juice. • Comment below: Please post what food item you plan to bring in the comment section so we do not end up with duplicates! 🛑 **Important Pool Safety Rules** • No Glass: Absolutely no glass bottles are allowed near the pool area. • No Ceramics: Please use plastic, paper, or metal containers and plates for your potluck dishes. • Safety first—broken glass or ceramic in a pool means draining the whole thing! 🎒 **What to Pack** • Your swimsuit and a towel • Sunscreen and sunglasses • Your favorite drinks in aluminum cans or plastic bottles • A folding lawn chair (We have some seating, but please bring a camp or lawn chair if you can to make sure everyone gets a comfortable spot!) ⚠️ **Important Note on RSVPs** Because this is a private home, space is strictly limited to 15 people max. Please only RSVP if you are 100% sure you can make it. If your plans change, please update your RSVP early so someone on the waitlist can take your spot. Can't wait to swim, eat, and hang out with you all! 🏖️

AI, Art & Vibecoding - StrangeNew.World @ 310 Coffee
Fri, Aug 7, 10:00 PMWe frame ourselves as **"a support group for the technological singularity"** and we are an eclectic mix of open-minded thinkers, artists, and tinkerers who believe in embracing the emerging technologies and capabilities in the most humanitarian way possible. Our meetings have a super casual and open atmosphere where all are welcome to contribute. Feel free to come late or leave early. So whether you're an AI enthusiast or skeptic, a creative professional already using AI on the daily, or someone just starting their first vibe coding project, this group may be for you! **NOW NEW & IMPROVED (Until the end of summer!)** We are doing "Hack-a-salons" after every meeting (starting at 5pm) now that 310 Coffee is staying open later. So please bring your laptops or art projects, or works in progress that you have questions on or want to present to the group. No podiums... only passion projects, good people and great vibes! ☺️ **What to Expect** Interesting conversations, relevant content, and educational resources. We are a diverse community of people who want to help each other and the world around us. We meet in person once a week at **310 Coffee in Culver City from 3-5pm**, we share our work and interesting news in our Whatsapp group, put on remote Learning Labs, go to events together, and encourage our members (who have the availability) to participate in a learning collective where we can volunteer to give each other one-on-one crash courses in various artistic, technical, and entrepreneurial disciplines. Here is a list of what we can teach: [https://strangenew.world/labs/what-we-know](https://strangenew.world/labs/what-we-know) We also encourage each of our members to take on a Passion Project, which could be as simple as getting up and running with a new artistic medium or project, or as complex as laying the groundwork for your dream business or career. We believe there has never been a better time (at least in OUR lifetimes) to set your sights on what your ideal life would be two years from now and then just start moving toward it. And maybe we can help you do that by giving you the hand-holding you need to get over that first hump, which can sometimes be the most difficult part. **How to Give Back** If you are a member looking to give back, or if you like what our organization is doing, then please follow, subscribe, rate us, and smash that like! 🤣 I know it seems silly to many of you, but in the attention economy, just the act of following us, liking our posts, and reviewing our events can make a huge difference in how the algorithm shines upon us. Also, if you would like to support us in a more direct way, please consider giving us a one-time donation, subscribing to one of our tiers, or sponsoring us. We pay for a lot of stuff out of pocket, so please consider becoming a patron to support the overall longevity of our group and vision. [https://strangenew.world/support-us](https://strangenew.world/support-us) **More Information** What we explore during our meetings really depends on who shows up and what they want to discuss: * The changing job market. What skills will matter in 10 years * The future of business and the creative industries * Chatbots, LLMs, and Agentic Workflows * Using AI for scientific or artistic exploration * Will generative art destroy Hollywood or save it? * What is consciousness? What constitutes intelligence? * The various types/platforms of vibecoding and which is best for your project * The end of capitalism as we know it * Are we entering the 2nd Cognitive Revolution? **Learn more at: [https://strangenew.world](https://strangenew.world)**

👆👌The Gumbo Brothers 🤩🤩
Sat, Aug 15, 5:30 AM**MR. WANDERLUST 📍1254 S Figueroa St, Level 8, DTLA** **Every Friday and Saturday at 1030-11pm till 1am** **@thegumbobrothers** **Step into a world that feels like a hidden chapter from a globetrotter’s diary… ✨** **Mr. Wanderlust isn’t just a venue, it’s an experience, a sophisticated piano bar and jazz lounge wrapped in storytelling, where every corner feels curated from a life lived across continents. From vintage books and collected artifacts to globally inspired cocktails crafted by master mixologist Melina Meza, the entire space breathes elegance, mystery, and late night allure. Think intimate rooms, warm lighting, live music, and that “you accidentally found something special” kind of vibe.** **Now layer that with The Gumbo Brothers ft. Apollo Jai 🎶🎶** **A high-energy live hip hop fusion that pulls from New Orleans jazz roots, 70s funk, 90s hip hop, neo soul, and smooth R&B. These guys don’t just perform, they move a room. Live instruments, rhythm, personality, and over 20 years of experience bringing crowds to life across LA. It’s the kind of show where you come for a drink and end up staying way longer than planned.**
