Posted Sat, 03/30/2013 - 13:59 by mentoring

Spring is in the air, the dark Winter has passed and it’s time to expand horizons and cultivate gardens. That applies equally well to cultivating one’s mind and spirit as it does to growing plants.

October Newbie Munch NEW LOCATION

Posted Fri, 10/07/2011 - 07:38 by mentoring

Alas--Wicked Grounds just closed. And here we are, all ready for the October Newbie Only Coffee Social, all dressed up and nowhere to go. So, with this last minute change of plans, we're going to have to find someplace else to get together.

We're going to meet on Monday evening at Harvest Urban Market. It's at 191 8th Street in San Francisco. That's only a block up 8th from Wicked Grounds, on the corner of 8th and Howard, same side of the street as WG.
