Meet other local fans of jazz & blues music while enjoying performances. The Bay Area is home to an amazing live jazz scene, with hundreds of small venues that provide an intimate and affordable way to experience jazz as it's meant to be: spontaneous, inventive, and alive. We can't all afford to go to Yoshis and Masonic Auditorium every weekend, but there's so much jazz happening in the Bay Area that there is something for every taste and every pocketbook, every weekend. So join us, and use this …

Whether you are a beginner, a pro, or someone who just fell in love with the movie Dodgeball and want to see what its all about, then come out and play! We play 1-2 games per month and are very consistent. We usually have 2-4 teams play on outdoor courts and its a good combination of 1st timers and our regular players. No worries if you are new to the game, because while we take the 3D's of dodgeball seriously, its all about having a good time! If you want to be outside and get some good exercis …

This group is for like minded individuals in the San Francisco bay area who are interested in seeing what the city has to offer. We'll have social gatherings during the week, and on the weekends we'll plan trips outside of the city or just gather for a BBQ in the park. This group is for young professionals around their Mid 20's to Mid 30's. I'd love to have people who are entrepreneurial at heart and want to meet others who are just passionate about their work as they are about their social li …

This MeetUp provides a dynamic way for members of San Francisco Regional Mensa to get the latest on Mensa events in the Bay Area and to more easily host their own Mensa events.  The idea is that by eliminating the very long lead time now necessary to post things to the Intelligencer, we will have more, and more varied, events on the calendar. You must be a *current* member of Mensa to join this group.  When you click "Join Us" (above right), please include your full name AND your Mensa membershi …

For many years, I have led a popular Adult ADHD group in Palo Alto. Through that, I've learned that many people in surrounding areas also need such a group. Throughout 13 years of nationally advocating for greater Adult ADHD awareness and treatment standards, I've gained a broad and detailed body of knowledge about ADHD challenges and treatment strategies. As the author of a bestselling book on Adult ADHD (Is It You. Me, or Adult A.D.D.?) and international speaker on the topic who has no third-p …

Hi there, my name is Erika, the organizer for the group and also the founder.  I'd like to tell you a bit about this group.  It's very dynamic in that you get to do just about anything that has to do with our classical music theme and friendship (e.g., audienceship, performance and learning). As facilitator of the group I do ask for at least a minimal commitment to the group in order to make it worthwhile for you and your fellow participants.  Your active participation is necessary!  This group …

This group is for anyone who loves playing Flag Football, but has trouble consistently finding enough people for weekly games in the "real world." If you're down to play some friendly games of pickup football with new people, then we'd love to have you! We'll start out trying to organize a game every weekend, and then see what the interest is like. Definitely bring any friends/coworkers/etc who've also been looking for pickup football games in the city. Also, we welcome all girls to join our gam …

This is a group to collect/connect jazz musicians,jazz listeners/lovers, and dance lovers at a place where all these things are possible. Currently many clubs featuring great jazz don't have much space for dancing--strange because the fun of moving to music is so natural! However, at most rock etc dance clubs the music is at bio hazard volume levels. Our JJ&D events feature dance-friendly space & creative music at an enjoyable level great for your all-over health! Dancing--all types, beats, etc. …

Want to learn how to code? Have a great idea? Don't be shy. Develop it. It can be intimidating for women to learn and ask questions when they are in an extreme minority. While open and welcoming, today's budding developer community is up to 91% male. There isn't a comfortable place where women can learn at their own pace and not be afraid to ask "stupid questions." We decided it was time to provide a place where all questions are OK and everyone can learn in a supportive environment. Our courses …

These mission-to-mission walks are open to all who enjoy nature, art, history. And walking. Though many of the walks are between 16-22 miles, they're set at a reasonable pace and are easy to train for. Why'd You Start the Group? Long story short: In March 2011 I walked 330 miles of the Camino de Santiago, a 1,200 year-old pilgrimage route in Spain. I lived with very little for 3 weeks. I experienced nature, art, and history. I met people from all around the world on the same simple quest - to r …

You wear your Chuck Tailors more often then high heels.  Sarcasm and irony are part of your repertoire.  You're classy most of the time but love a little trashy here and there.  You relish in the tackiness of the Tonga Room/Medieval Times/Madonna Inn because they're all so ridiculous.  Your tongue is sticking out in 75% of the photos you're in.  You typically find yourself hanging out with guys and every once and a while you think "I could use a couple of friends who are female".  You secretly l …

Hi I'm Mish, I moved to the bay area for work. I'm creating this group for natives and newcomers of the bay area that want to explore more than just the typical touristy spots. I'd like this group to get together to do some hiking, scenic drives, restaurant hopping, brewery tasting and wine tasting, fairs and festivals... basically everything the bay area has to offer us. It'll be nice to explore different parts of the bay. I'd like to keep the age range from mid twenties to mid thirties just to …

The SF & Bay Area Old School Fantasy RPG Society seeks hearty adventurers who long for the early days of fantasy roleplaying - the danger, the challenges and the hope that, one fine day, tall tales of outlandish bravery and death-defying feats will be told about you over a hearty glass of dwarven ale... The society is not dedicated to one game or one gaming system. Rather, we welcome like-minded souls and strive for an active community where multiple games and systems see the top of the table. O …

There's some debate in the startup community about which is the superior technology, Python or Ruby. This is a meetup for those who've considered the available evidence, carefully weighing the pros and cons of each language, and made the obviously correct choice: Python. We discuss everything a young Python developer needs to know, from the nitty gritty of the Python GIL all the way to how one should pair Python with leading-edge technologies like Backbone.js and MongoDB. If you're a dedicated P …

Do you suffer from ELSE (Extremely Low Self Esteem)? <Hey I just created that; do you like it?> Many people do. But I am learning that you don't have to suffer with that for the rest of your life. I'm a pilot as well as a public speaker. But yes, I have ELSE. Hard to believe? Believe it. I'd like to create a community for those who have some of the same issues in life. There are so many great places to eat here in San Francisco. Let's get together for a delicious lunch or dinner ... so we can le …

One of us! One of us! We created this group to chew gum and play games and we're all out of gum. No seriously we love playing table-top role playing, board-games and card games, etc and we wanted to get groups of folks together here who love doing the same thing. There's always new games and demos to try, and GM's looking for groups or groups that need a location on certain nights. On our Board-game night (Monday from 6pm to 10pm) we have a storage closet full of games & people are more then wel …

Kundalini yoga: the yoga of awareness Kundalini Yoga as Taught by Yogi Bhajan® is designed to give you “hands on” experience of your highest consciousness. It teaches a method by which you can achieve the sacred purpose of your life. It is universal and nondenominational. Kundalini Yoga is not a religion. Kundalini Yoga is a Sacred Science. It is sacred because it deals with G.O.D.: G = that which Generates, O = that which Organizes, D = that which Delivers or Destroys. It is scientific because …

Meetup is great, but have you ever noticed how many of the social groups for people over 20 are singles groups? That one looks cool,... damn, can't do that. That's an event I'd like,... nope, can't do that. It's not that I begrudge that at all, I just want to have some fun with a cool group of people too. There's also the kid thing - I love kids in moderation but choose not to have my own. When you have kids, it is natural they are a huge and important part of your life - but don't you want to g …

Hi everyone! This looks like a brand-new meetup but actually we're not - Lighten Up is adding a San Francisco location to our well-established Silicon Valley meditation group. You can cruise over to the Silicon Valley Lighten Up Meditation Meetup to see what we've been doing down there for the past few years. * * * Lighten Up Meditation is now offering free Intro to Meditation classes and Group Meditations are now being offered in San Francisco! Yes there's a lot of meditation groups in SF but …

This is a group for Italian speakers with kids. I'm an Italian mum of two kids (6 and 8 yrs old) and I'd like to organize playdates with other Italian families living in San Francisco. My children only speak Italian with me and I'd like to create opportunities for them to play in their second language. Appena ho un gruppo di persone interessate, fissero' un appuntamento al parco. A presto, Marta

The spectrum of human DNA overlaps with the spectrum of the sunrise and the sunset enabling us to tune in the best time of day for our skin to see the sun; the best time of day to promote a radiant appearance, health, and Vitamin D, without any damage. There will be two such time frames each day; one after sunrise and one before sunset. What's the best time for you? What about the effects of clouds, forests, elevation, or other atmospheric conditions? The only way to know is to collect the data. …
