The October meetup will be on Sunday, October 10, 2:00 - 5:00 PM Pacific Time.

We hold our online meetups in a Jitsi chat room. The service is similar to Zoom with video and text chat. No account is required. No download is required if you use a web browser; Android and iOS apps are available if desired. Sharing video is not required. Joining the voice chat is also not required, but is recommended as it is where most of the action is.

You don't need to live in the San Francisco Bay area to attend! We welcome visitors, just as we would at physical meetups.

RSVP by commenting on this post or sending me a PM and I will send you the room details and password.

The SF Bay Otherkin Meetup will have our 9th annual special event at PantheaCon on Saturday, February 15th, 2020, from 5:00 - 10:00 PM. There will be music, snacks and drinks, books, a slideshow, Discord chats, buttons and badge ribbons, and our traditional game of Cards Against Humanity later in the evening.

No RSVP or fee is required for this event, but donations of a few dollars towards the food, drink, and swag we provide are very appreciated!

PantheaCon is the largest indoor Pagan convention in the United States, hosted at the San Jose, California DoubleTree hotel over Presidents' Day weekend (February 14th-17th, 2020). You do not have to be registered for PantheaCon to come to this event. It is held in a private guestroom and no con badge is required to enter. However, if you are not already attending the con, see the event page (linked at the top) for some suggestions about getting here just for the evening if you are in the area.

Convention information is available at https://pantheacon.com/ and https://www.facebook.com/groups/132299480136 if you are interested. At this time the first room block in the DoubleTree is sold out and it has not been announced when the second one will open. You have to be very fast to snatch a room there (it's very impacted as there are many more con-goers than there are available rooms) but there are also overflow hotels.

The November meetup will be on Saturday, November 9th, 2:00 PM at Cafe La Tartine in Redwood City, CA.

Parking near the cafe is limited metered street parking. There is free parking in the County Garage about 1/4 mile north up Middlefield. It is also near the Redwood City Caltrain station.

RSVP by Thursday, November 7th. Let me know if you will not be able to arrive by 2:30 PM so we know to wait for you if we decide to move. You can RSVP by commenting on this post or emailing me at arethinn@eristic.net.

The October meetup will be on Sunday, October 13th, 2:00 PM at Lakeside Park, Lake Merritt, in Oakland, CA.

This is about 1/2 mile from the 19th St/Oakland BART station. (Lake Merritt station is the wrong side of the lake.) If driving, parking along Bellevue Ave is $5 all day.

Bring a packed lunch or snacks if you would like, and possibly something to sit on. Meet by the Fairyland (tee hee) sign on the corner of Grand & Bellevue. See Google street view. PLEASE NOTE: There is also another sign inside the park - we will not be there. Make sure you are at Grand & Bellevue! (And make sure you are at the western intersection of Grand & Bellevue; Bellevue is a loop and they cross again about half a mile further east, past the park.)

RSVP by Friday, October 11th. Let me know if you will not be able to arrive by 2 PM and I will give you my and/or Cel's cell phone numbers if you don't already have them so you can find us in the park. You can RSVP by commenting on this post or emailing me at arethinn@eristic.net.
