We're a group of web developers an designers based in San Ramon that we tired of having to go to SF or the South Bay to meet up with others to talk shop. We're thinking a casual monthly meetup for drinks and grub to start and see where it goes from there.

This Meetup is a place to join others who are willing to question and challenge cherished dogmas of any stripe. Let's get together at a potluck, meet at a bar or a coffee shop, go hiking, you name it. Exchange ideas, news, share your success stories and get support from other free-thinking people. We're an "umbrella" for a few locations at once: SF, North, East, and South Bays, The Peninsula, and maybe more. Anybody brave enough to organize events in any of those areas is welcome to become an as …

These days, most of the dance clubs and social meetup groups are focused on music from the 80s and later, from hair metal to house to hip-hop to funk/R&B to DJ mashups and the like. What is missing is a group with an emphasis on live band music from oldies rock and roll, to classic 60s rock (the British invasion, beach music, folk and acid rock, etc.) through the more popular 70s rock (Eagles, Doobies, etc.) You know the kind of music I am talking about! Well, THIS IS IT! Dancing to live mus …

Imagine lively people-scaled  communities dotting the San Francisco Bay Area - places co-created by their residents for raising kids, for  retirement, for growing food or simply  living well by sharing more. The Bay Area already has  ecovillages, and cohousing neighborhoods, resident-owned housing cooperatives, and group houses -- real world places where we can live more sustainably through a more cooperative way of life. You can have both privacy and community when you know your neighbors on pu …

Kizomba is a beautiful and sensual partner dance, originally from Angola, which is taking the world by storm. For experienced dancers, it is an exciting breath of fresh air. The basics are comfortable to slip into, yet, the dance is challenging enough to keep anyone dancing it for years to come. This also makes Kizomba perfect for anyone wanting to enter the world of dance. A beginner can enjoy the pleasure of social dancing much quicker than with other types of partner dances. Kizomba was deriv …

This is an ACTIVE Meetup Group... if you are sensitive to being invited to our events, please note that we schedule about 4-8 events a month. We try to keep emails down to the announcements of the actual movies, and then only to those that RSVP "yes" to a specific event. Other than that, I try to not send out more than one mass non-event email every few months. Our basic mission: To see significant and/or interesting films playing in the greater San Francisco Bay Area and then to go somewhere …

Urbandictionary defines an ABCD as "an 'American Born Confused Desi,' which is a derogatory term used for Indians, Pakistanis, Bengladeshis (South Asians) who have grown up in the United States and who act 'American' (as stupid as that sounds)." But really, it doesn't have to be derogatory. We're fortunate enough to have the best of two worlds. While there are plenty of desi meetup groups here in the the bay area, there seems to be a void for a legit ABCD group. So, if you're an American (or eve …

This is a group started with the express purpose of trying to create a network among the many Probashi Bangalis living in the Bay Area. They all seem to congregate during a Durga Pujo celebration and mysteriously thereafter, go into hibernation for the rest of the year. At least that is the way I feel. Maybe it is a function of the fact that their numbers are so low that the probability of running into someone at random is exceedingly low. I, for one, refuse to believe that. Maybe it is my own f …
