Are you a Seattleite who recently moved to Silicon Valley? If so, then this group is for you. My boyfriend and I recently moved here for work and weather, but there are several great things that we miss about Seattle – the small-town feel, the amazing restaurants, the charming neighborhoods, the coffee shops and the sports teams just to name a few. So, we decided to start this group as a way to feed the Seattleite within. Activities might include meeting up at sports bars to catch a game (Seahaw …

Hi there! Did you know? 67% of Americans drink. 100% of people have at least one interesting thing they can teach someone else.

I am new to Berkeley via San Diego (via Bay Area, via Seattle, via Philadelphia, via Santa Barbara :) and looking to meet some new girlfriends. I started and was a member of a book club in San Diego and had a blast. We actually had a great group of girls who ended up being friends- reading, going out, running races, together, etc! I'd like to recreate something similar here in Berkeley/Oakland! This group is for ladies only (sorry boys) in their mid 20s/mid 30s (roughly!) who are looking to meet …

This is a group for 20s and 30s in the east bay interested in adding some weekly runs and geting together with people their own age. All running levels are welcome. I started this group to meet other runners who are interested in meeting at a local bar, going on a run and then grabbing a drink after or meeting up on a Saturday for a long run and grabbing breakfast. There are so many running groups in SF and Berkeley areas that I can't make because of location and timing that I thought it might b …

This is a meetup for women who appreciate beer and want to brew it. Brewing has predominately been considered a male undertaking. The oldest written document is a Sumerian Clay tablet. It is a recipe for beer. Beer is made up of the same ingredients for bread and everything needed was found in any kitchen of that age. It was women who brewed the beer. They had a goddess, her name was NinKasi. She was a brewmaster. For over a millenium and centuries after, women continued to brew beer. Women entr …

“This is a group for anyone interested in walking, Friday night activities, coffee, chatting about life etc. All skills levels are welcome. I started this group because I thought it would be nice to get outside more and because I am terrible at making Friday night plans so being a single gal, I often am cooking something up last second or not up to anything. It seems like a walk and then a beer or coffee would be a nice way for people to make friends, get outside, and enjoy this beautiful city. …

We're SUN. We're single. We stay single because we like it, but we're not obviously weird. We hang out -- get drinks, go to clubs, play cards, race shopping carts (http://youtu.be/FMrIy9zm7QY), and chat. A lot. We're unprofessionals, and we contemn "networking." We talk to people because we like them, not because they'll get us where we want to go.

New to the area? Having trouble finding new friends? Us too! The goal of this meetup is to meet new people in the Bay Area. Whether moving here for a job or moving here right after college, let's face it, it's difficult to meet new people outside of the work environment. We're aiming to introduce new people over drinks in the area, keeping the group size small, and cheap, with a low time commitment.
