There are lots of dining groups on Meetup; I belong to some. And they're great. But I don't see anything devoted to the goofy, offbeat restaurants and snack shops and events that can make eating a purposefully amusing experience. Tabletops before tablecloths, go cups before goblets, fun before fancy, cute before culinary. I don't want to be a decadent foodie all the time! This isn't intended to be devoted to bargain, cheap-eats places, though most of the things I'm interested in for this group …

We are a group of girls and guys in our 20's and 30's who want to play the game of Soccer/ Futbol ( we don't mind what you call it). We come from different backgrounds but have many things in common; main one being our love for soccer! We try to play every Saturday mornings starting 11am until we're too tired. Usually, we get done by 1pm. It's not competitive, most of us have played in high school, college, or only once, and just want to continue to play in a fun, friendly, chill environment.

Let's face it, we all could use more playtime, whether you're a dog or human, and our dogs can never get too much socialization and exercise.  It's in their nature to want to be social, and more active they are, healthier they will be (mentally and physically), same goes for us humans!  :) This group will meet regularly, dedicated to doing fun hikes or long walks in beautiful locations all around in and around San Francisco Bay Area.
