Drinks with Nice People — Silicon Valley Version | Partiful
With five solid events in NYC and a recent hit in North Beach San Francisco, I am taking pity on overworked people living in Silicon Valley and bringing this popular and much needed event to your backyard. The purpose is simple: gather convivial gracious people of all ages, backgrounds and interests for conversation and drinks (including non-alcoholic) and let the fun begin. Rules are simple: RSVP (even if you can’t make it or aren’t sure), invite other interesting friendly people, show up, buy your own drinks and bites (though I may throw in a couple trays), and have a swell time. This is not a networking or pitching or tech event (thankfully!) it’s for purely human enjoyment. See you Wednesday!
