Do you love music, art, fine dining? Are you creative? Spiritual? A fan of S.A.R.K? or Iyanla Vanzant? Are you prone to flamboyan …

Let's break away from the bars (and, okay, sometimes also go to bars) and have some real fun.  ALL 20-something queer-identified folk (and their friends) are enthusiastically welcomed.  My hope is to develop a sense of community through recurring events.  Some ideas for events include potlucks, game nights, movies, hikes, club nights, and happy hours.  If you have any ideas, please suggest them!  Activities take place mainly in Oakland, and sometimes in Berkeley and San Francisco.

I am not finding a whole lot of meet ups dedicated to just making friends with other queer folks. My vision is to meet up, play some basketball (shooting around and after we are warmed up maybe a game), and then maybe go grab a coke and be friends. If that sounds like fun to you, invite yourself and join in! I am new to the area and need friends to spend time with. I love all sports so if basketball doesn't work out let's play some football or frisbee or make some crafts. I love everything!
