Sunset for Outdoor Lovers at Lake Merritt

Sat, May 16, 1:30 AM

From Gist IRL

4.7

**RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/FFG4S2pOYMUXRi2yy6WZ **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later** You know that feeling when you finish a great walk, the weather is perfect, and all you want is to grab a bite with good company? That’s exactly what tonight is about. We’re bringing together East Bay locals who love being outside for a sunset evening that actually goes somewhere. Instead of swapping trail recommendations and never speaking again, you’ll spend the first hour in relaxed, one-on-one conversations. No awkward mingling, no wondering how to break the ice—just easy chats with people who share your energy. Then comes the best part. After the rounds, you’ll reconnect with your favorite people, form a group of 4-6, and take a golden-hour stroll around the lake straight to Grand Avenue for dinner. No "let’s grab coffee sometime" texts. No scheduling headaches. Just a great meal with a new crew, right then and there. Maybe they become your new weekend hiking squad, or maybe it’s just a really good Thursday night. Either way, you're not doing it alone. **Agenda** **6:30 PM - Check-In** Meet us at Empowerment Park. Follow the link to complete a quick profile setup on your phone. **6:35 PM - 7:30 PM - One-on-One Rounds** Our app pairs you up for focused, time-boxed conversations. Find out who shares your favorite routes, weekend plans, and active lifestyle. **7:30 PM+ - The Lake Walk & Grand Ave Dinner** Group up with the people you vibed with most. You'll walk the lake perimeter together and head to a nearby restaurant on Grand Avenue for dinner. Your group leaves together—tonight. *(Want to stay in touch with someone later? The app lets you connect without ever sharing your phone number.)* **RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/FFG4S2pOYMUXRi2yy6WZ **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later**

La Hora Feliz, Viernes en el Muddy Waters Cafe!

Sat, May 16, 1:00 AM

From San Francisco Spanish-Language Meetup

4.6

**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
