The Great Brooklyn Beer Mile
Sat at 12pm · Brooklyn
What if we got 150 New Yorkers to chug a beer and run a lap. four times. and called it a race?
We did not invent it. We are simply gathering the willing. This is our variation of the beer mile, which means team formats too, for those who'd rather split the beers with a couple friends (normal-sized stomachs welcome).
No, it will not be on a track. that would be boring.
Come if you're a runner. come if you're a chugger. come if you're neither and simply enjoy watching chaos unfold in a park.
you don't have to race to be part of it. come heckle, come cheer, come for the spectacle. especially come if you're:
* a former high school track star with something to prove
* someone who "isn't really a runner"
* great at chugging, tragic at running
* great at running, tragic at chugging
* "training for a marathon" and calling this cross-training
* just here for the bit
Run it solo or grab a team and split the laps and beers between you… the rules are pending, you’ll be the first to know.
A very serious podium for the 1st place team (maybe even some serious cash…). an even more serious award for dead last.
We’re working our hardest to have a photo and video team capturing the whole spectacle so it can be digitally remembered. and sorting out an afterparty to follow.
Hit going + turn on notifications so you don't miss the drop. then invite the two friends you know would actually do this.
More soon — just get it on the calendar
Details as of now:
Saturday, Sept 12 · noon · Bushwick Inlet Park
Beer provided (N/A)
Bring a lawn chair, a cowbell, a sign for your favorite stranger, snacks, a friend who'll regret it… whatever your heart desires.

Tue to Sep 22 · Brooklyn

Girls Beginner Surf Meetup !
Next Sun at 9:30am · Pacifica
Casual beginner surf group in Pacifica!
Hi everyone! I’m just a girl who lives in north beach looking for some more friends to surf with! ig: @graceclendenin
Kinda like a run club but for surfing!🏄🏼♀️ Let’s meet at Soul Grind in Pacifica at 9:30. Everyone welcome!
No experience required! If you’ve never surfed before I can give you tips and you can rent gear at the surf shop next to the coffee shop for ~$40!
Schedule:
- 9:30-10: meet at Soul Grind Coffee Roasters. Get coffee and chat!
- 9:30-9:50: If anyone needs to rent a surfboard or wetsuit, go next door to NorCal surf shop or Traveler surf shop. NorCal is cheaper but Traveler is better quality and women owned. Once you get your gear meet back outside Soul Grind with your stuff. At this point you can be wearing your wetsuit or put it on at the beach.
- 10:00: We’ll walk over from Soul Grind to the beach. I’m planning to set up camp near the creek.
- 10-10:15: I can give tips to anyone who needs it!
- 10:15-11: free surf! Then everyone leaves on their own time.
Thirst Draft: Write Drunk, Edit Never
Sun, Sep 20 at 6pm · San Francisco
An event for writers — and for writing. Everyone gets the same prompt when they walk in the door. What ends up on the page is up to you!
Here’s how it works:
Write whatever you want — poem, song, short story, joke… anything works!
Interpret the prompt however you like, but try to incorporate it in some way
Work alone or collaborate with friends/strangers — no word count or time limit
Sign up by 7pm if you want to share your piece on stage, just like an open mic
Want to join, but can’t make it by 6 pm? All good!
Here are some loose times to keep in mind:
Write & Mingle: 6pm to 7pm
Share on Stage: 7pm to 8pm
Drink & Discuss: 8pm to 9pm
No cover, no editing, no AI. Pens and paper will be available, but bring your own if you can. Grab a drink (or an NA beverage!), tip your bartenders, and support your fellow writers.
