2 cups of tea a day adds 6 years to your life, or so the research says. This is a group for energetic people who want to socialize and meet new engaging people over tea. This is not a sleepy afternoon thing either - we may meet during the day or night. Locations will be at tea spots in the peninsula or at volunteers' residences.

Learn about tea (Camellia sinensis). Create community through tea. Support local tea businesses.

Every time I go to the local coffee shops during the weekday, I notice how almost everyone is staring at their computer screen rather than socializing. The idea here is to change that. I've noticed a lot of people work from home in this part of the East Bay and thought it would be nice to organize the occasional meetup at a local coffee shop to take a break from the screen and meet some new people in the neighborhood.

We love spontaneously bringing people together through storytelling and sharing artisan cups of coffee. We try to keep things simple: We focus on people, coffee, and stories.

We folks that work from home are the envy of many - we've largely escaped the 'rat race', or at least the commuting and office politics part of it! Some of us work for a company, others work for themselves. Our time is more our own, and we can decide whether or not to check our email in our pajamas. Working from home is great, but sometimes it's nice to get out. Away from the house, and the cat or dog. Oh, and if you do want to get together for a cup of coffee with a friend at 230 PM - everyone …

There are several Meetup book clubs in the East Bay, but many of them are specialized (e.g., women-only, we only read such-and-such books, etc.), or their meetings fill to capacity so fast that I never get a chance to rsvp - so I decided to start this one. I previously participated in a fantastic book club in Chicago, which gave me the opportunity to read some great books that I probably wouldn't have found on my own. I hope to continue that trend here! This is a mixed-gender book club for anyon …
