From New Friends SF

🥂 After-Work Drinks & Dinner | Meet New Friends in SF Looking to meet new people and make some new friends in SF? Come join us for our first New Friends SF meetup! 🎉 We’re getting together for after-work drinks, food, and good conversation in the Financial District. Whether you’re new to San Francisco or have been here for years and just want to expand your circle, you’re welcome! Come alone — it’s encouraged! Most of us will be meeting for the first time, so there’s no established group you need to fit into. The whole idea is to have a relaxed evening, meet people you might not otherwise cross paths with, and hopefully leave with a few new friends. 🥂 📅 Thursday, September 24 ⏰ 5:30–7:30 PM 📍 Schroeder’s, Financial District, San Francisco Food and drinks will be available for individual purchase. Please RSVP only if you plan on attending, since we’ll be keeping the first meetup to a manageable group size. Excited to meet everyone! ✨

Otherwise, just show up as you are, grab a tea or a pastry if you want to, and come ready to unwind. Look for the tables with the game boxes in the seating area! ***

Just some convivial folks hanging out at a neighborhood pub with their skechbooks. You don't have to be an "artist," or whatever that means, to be here. Bringing art supplies is a great idea though! Hydration is encouraged! The Flying Pig sells soft drinks and other n/a options as well as beer and cider. 
We come up with a theme or prompt for each week. You're free to use it or ignore it. It's about inspiring to stray from the norm. Speaking of which, this week's theme/prompt is [TBA]
