Many groups are already devoted to general dining. This is not one of them. The purpose of this group is to explore the very best food experiences to be had in the Bay Area. Events may include the yearly truffle dinner at Oliveto, sampling the divine pesto at Farina, lining up in the cold for pizza at Una Pizza Napoletana, or going on a field trip to taste fresh oysters at Tomales Bay. If we totally run out of ideas, we might visit The French Laundry. But not before then. Like our sister meetu …

Democracy at it's best is a participatory endeavor that works to improve our social contract. It works best when interested parties work together in good faith to address mutually identified problems. It works best when a responsible fourth estate acts as a watchdog toward those in power to maintain a well-informed, accurately informed citizenry. For a number of years, as a society, we have struggled to maintain democracy at it's best. Media has neglected its watchdog role in favor of attemp …

Thanks for your interest in California Crowd Funding. Why This Group?      This group is needed to rally public support for a crowd funding law letting entrepreneurs raise startup money from the general public. Silicon Valley and California is bursting with small companies ready to launch. The 2008 crash slowed Angel investments in startups.      So to create new jobs and let people pursue their business dreams, a California Crowd Funding exemption is needed.      Crowd funding lets the general …

Everyone is Welcome! Let's enjoy vegan and vegetarian food. I grew up as vegan and vegetarian. There are a lot of vegan and vegetarian options in San Francisco. Let’s check them out.

This group is created to help those of us who have attended HBCUs to 'meetup' and fellowship. Let's discover the best art galleries, lounges, bars, movies, etc. TOGETHER. The hope is that we eventually venture into finding ways for young Bay Area minds to attend HBCUs as well. This will be a FUN and EGO-FREE group of beautiful people who find ways to take what HBCU life gave to us AND share with others. I LOVED my HBCU experience and I hope you did too! Let's talk, compare, have fun, and s …

… Making friends is tough, but one good friend (or 10) means knowing you've got someone on your side who understands you and is there through thick and thin. You can't have too many of those!  Possible Activities:  Girl, in the South it's about the food, so let's just say most, if not every, meet up will revolve around that very thing.  We can explore the city together, testing out new cuisines, or searching for the foods we know and love, like bar-b-que.  Can someone point me in the direction of …

In San Francisco (and the Bay Area in general), I'm sure we've got plenty of fun, interesting, exciting young people who happen to also have OCD. Many of us probably hide our OCD, to the extent that few people realize what we're going through: but that doesn't mean we aren't battling it every moment! How cool would it be to come together: to have fun, and to discuss our goals and challenges? Super cool! Let's do that. Note: when I say "young adult", I'm generally referring to 18 - 35. We can …
