LA Optimists Third Thursdays Meetup 9/18

🍻 First Gathering: Optimists at the Brewery
Welcome to the very first meetup of Optimists at Paperback Brewing! This will be a casual evening of connection, conversation, and community-building over good beer.

We’re bringing together curious, kind, and hopeful people—artists, thinkers, makers, workers, and dreamers—who believe that optimism is worth sharing. If you’ve been looking for a group that values ideas, humor, and genuine connection, this is it.

📍 Location: Paperback Brewing, 422 Magnolia Ave, LA 91204
🕖 Time: 6pm PDT . Thursday 9/18

### Agenda

(structured but relaxed—think of it as a guide, not a script)
6:00 – 6:20 PM | Arrival & Mingling
Grab a drink, say hello, and get settled.
6:20 – 6:40 PM | Welcome & Icebreaker
Quick introductions + a fun icebreaker (share something you’re optimistic about right now).
6:40 – 7:20 PM | Conversation Circles
We’ll break into small groups around simple prompts, like:

• What’s bringing you energy these days?
• What’s one idea or project you’d love to share?
• Where do you find optimism in everyday life?

7:20 – 9:00 PM | Open Socializing
Free-flowing conversation, connections, and laughter.
9:00 PM onward | Optional Hangout
Stick around as long as you’d like—keep talking, keep toasting, keep connecting.

***

What to Bring:

• Your curiosity and openness
• A spirit of optimism
• A friend (optional, but encouraged!)

Let’s raise a glass to possibility and start something meaningful together. Cheers! 🍻✨
