Mon, Oct 19, 12:00 AM

From Eat Drink Dance (EDD)!

The Gist - 1. Please buy tickets yourself. I have links posted later in this post as well YouTube links to his more popular songs. 2. We will meet for dinner at 5pm. Please be on time. If you are going to be more than 5 minutes late, please post in the chat or message me. Many people flake to these events so in order to keep it moving we would like to know who is actually coming. 3. Please bring cash 4. HAVE FUN! We will meet at Drake's Dealership, a massive, repurposed historic auto shop featuring a giant heated outdoor beer garden with open fire pits, wood-fired pizzas, and 32 craft beers on tap. Everyone orders at the counter on their own individual tab, but we will sit together Epik High is a legendary South Korean hiphop/rap group. They were famously "rivals" with BigBang and a big influence on BTS. Here are some of their more famous songs: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSC47Yp-Hpg&list=RDoSC47Yp-Hpg&start_radio=1&pp=ygUaZXBpayBoaWdoIHlvdXR1YmUgdW1icmVsbGGgBwE%3D](Umbrella) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdr0fZbuffY&list=RDqdr0fZbuffY&start_radio=1&pp=ygUYZXBpayBoaWdoIGxvdmUgbG92ZSBsb3ZloAcB](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdr0fZbuffY&list=RDqdr0fZbuffY&start_radio=1&pp=ygUYZXBpayBoaWdoIGxvdmUgbG92ZSBsb3ZloAcB) You can buy tickets here: Gametime: [https://gametime.co/concert/epik-high-tickets/10-18-2026-oakland-ca-fox-theater/events/6a2761c005414ded043e7d08](https://gametime.co/concert/epik-high-tickets/10-18-2026-oakland-ca-fox-theater/events/6a2761c005414ded043e7d08) If you have any other suggestions, let me know and I’ll post it. Eat Drink Dance This is a new Meetup group trying to build a group of like-minded people who enjoy food music and community. The drinking is up to you. In this group I will find new music, make new friends, and have fun. So get out of the house and meet some new people! I will be picking shows around the Bay Area - anything from underground hip hop, R&B, EDM/Trance, and of course indie & alternative rock. We will pick a restaurant (within walking distance of the show) to meet at, have dinner and drinks (if you drink), then slam a Red Bull and walk to the venue. And if anyone wants, we can have a nightcap drink after to talk about the show. Sound Fun?? I am open to new artists and any suggestions. Ultimately I will pick whatever I like, but I started this group because I also love finding new music so I am easily convinced. But note I am trying to only pick shows that have a General Admission option so that we don’t need to get seats ahead of time and sit away from each other. FYI - this event organizer is unpaid..All participants are 100% responsible for their own safety!

Please read carefully as there is new info here. This event meets 2nd and 4th Sunday of every month. **This week we are meeting at Espresso Roma Cafe in Berkeley. We will meet at the first available long table outside or at the long tables under the canopy depending upon availability. We hope new people will become regulars to this social group, Do not attend if you are on the waitlist as this is causing the crowd to get too large. Sign up early as seating is limited at the cafe. If you show up and are not on the going list you will be asked to leave or sit somewhere else. No shows have been a problem and this doesn't allow people on the waitlist to have a chance to come. Three no shows will get you removed from the group so please change your RSVP if you cannot make it and give someone on the waitlist a chance to come. Please don’t do this at the last minute unless it’s an emergency. We will initially allow 10 members on the going list and then we will be adding people from the waitlist balancing out the event by gender. We will be posting the coffee meetups month by month to give more of the newcomers a chance to sign up and get a spot. Moving forward we will talk to the owners about providing enough chairs for the long tables and not just the smaller ones. Thanks to everyone in advance for your cooperation.** **If you attend any mature singles connections event you hereby release its organizers, leaders, and hosts from all liability, legal claims, or causes of action arising in whole or in part at one of our events.** Read less Read less \#\# Attendees
