About Us
“I wanna do it, but not alone.” That’s how this group started — and it still describes us pretty well.
This is a community for active, open, curious, polite, and sociable people who genuinely enjoy meeting others and doing things together.
We love dining in beautiful places, having meaningful conversations, watching movies, playing games, hiking, playing sports, exploring the Bay Area, and trying new things together.
But our goal isn’t simply to fill events.
We want to build a real community — a place where newcomers become familiar faces, familiar faces become friends, and people come not just because they want something to do, but because they want people to do it with.
Come for the event. Stay for the people. 💛
### 🤝 Our Team
The group is co-hosted by Vas, who helps keep everything running smoothly and the community active when I’m not in the Bay Area.
We also have regular event hosts- John and Asterios, who lead some of our recurring events and contribute enormously to the continuity, atmosphere, and quality of the group.
We’re truly grateful for the time, energy, and care our hosts put into this community 🙌
### 🌿 Our Main Rule
Please treat all members and organizers with respect — at events, in chats, and in comments.
We want this to remain an open, friendly, and welcoming community where people feel comfortable being themselves, meeting others, and participating.
### 💛 About Contributions
The group is free to join.
To cover Meetup, Zoom, and other organizational costs — and to make it possible for us to create diverse, high-quality events — some events have a small participation fee, usually $2–$10.
We also gratefully accept donations. Every contribution goes toward supporting and developing the community 🤗
### 🍽️ A Special Note About Group Dinners
Our dinners are different from casual Meetup events. We make restaurant reservations for a specific number of people, and every RSVP represents a real seat at the table.
If you RSVP “Going,” please treat it as a commitment.
A no-show doesn’t just leave an empty chair — it affects the restaurant, the organizers, and another member who could have taken that spot.
For this reason, priority for limited-seat dinners is given to members with a history of reliable attendance.
New members may be moved from Going to Waitlist until they personally confirm their attendance.
Repeated no-shows or last-minute cancellations may result in losing priority for future dinners.
We love welcoming new people — we simply ask everyone to respect the commitment that comes with reserving a seat.
### 💡 Share Your Ideas & Become a Host
Our hosts are an important part of what makes this community special.
Hosting is a privilege earned through involvement, trust, and contribution to the group. We do not cold-assign hosting responsibilities to people we don’t yet know.
If you’ve been an active member and have an idea for an event you’d love to organize, DM me.
We generally look for hosts who:
- Have participated regularly in the community for at least 3 months
- Understand and share the group’s mission, culture, and values
- Have strong people, communication, and organizational skills
- Can create a welcoming atmosphere and take responsibility for an event from planning through execution
All events must be approved by a group leader before being published.
Once approved, we’ll publish the event together — and you can grow as a host and become an even bigger part of building this community.
💛 This group grows not because of numbers, but because of the people who show up — with openness, curiosity, reliability, and respect.
If this resonates with you, welcome.
We’re looking forward to meeting you at one of our events!
