Casual Meetups San Francisco

Monthly Movie Happy Hour

**We are hosting a Monthly Movie Discussion Happy Hour at the Flying Pig Bistro in the Mission every 3rd THURSDAY of the month!** Join us for an evening of movie talk with your fellow movie lovers. We'll start by forming groups where people will take turns sharing 1-2 quick movie reviews of what they've watched recently (no spoilers unless the group decides it's ok). After group sharing is done we'll mix and mingle for general discussion. Please come prepared to share at least one movie review with your group. The Flying Pig has a great selection of beverages (including non-alcoholic) as well as food for dinner or snacking. Please consider purchasing something to support the Flying Pig since we are not paying for the venue. Let me know if you have any questions!

I just have to remember to bring it next time." --Bob "I brought a vintage deck filled with proxy moxes. I won even before my opponents got to take their first turn! How cool is that! Of course, the next game I waited around while everyone destroyed everything i had in quick succession. But that's ok, I had fun!" --Amy If you are looking for websites to help you with deck ideas for casual magic, here are a few that are highly recommended: Magic Deck Vortex (http://www.magicdeckvortex.com) Essential Magic (http://www.essentialmagic.com/) Especially check out the combos page...highly useful for breaking things not meant to be broken.

La Hora Feliz, Viernes en el Muddy Waters Cafe!

**La Hora Feliz at Muddy Waters Cafe!** === **NOTES TO NEWCOMERS:** \* If you are NEW to the event, please arrive around or after 6:30 PM. Most of the regulars arrive from work and sometimes after dinner, so there's NO expectation we will be right on time. \* Depending on the mood of the group, and events in the venue, the group may stay past 9PM, and sometimes go somewhere else after the venue closes. \* Most of the regulars tend to not confirm at the Meetup invite (And that's OK, we're a relaxed group), so the group is usually bigger than the number of confirmed people. \* How to find us? Just check with the owner / waitresses / hosts so they can point you to the group, they already know most of the regulars. \* There is no obligation to consume any food/drinks there, but is a nice to help support the place, since they let us hang out in their premises. \* Format of conversation is 100% Spanish. It's not a language exchange, but usually it's up to whoever you are speaking to (People get tired, after all). \* The group is a mix of Spanish native speakers and people that are advanced, or close to that. But we don't really have a minimum level, it depends on your level of comfort. You can always ask others to speak slowly or clarify, that's also OK. Everybody is nice! Salud! -Federico
