We write, we love, we hurt, we heal and begin again. We are Bohemians in the truest sense of the words and write only to forget. We are primal deviants who made pure by the certainty of our transgressions, Saints who would be whores but cannot afford the dues. We meet, we read, we laugh, we drink, far too much and cut ourselves to shreds in search a single sentence that moves our hard hearts. Perhaps we spend too many nights alone, perhaps we are simply in need of fellow fools to soften the blow …

Usually, work is followed by coffee and chat. Great way to stay fit and enjoy the outdoors and good company while …

Hi everyone! Do you like trying new teas? Do you have a big stock of tea that you can't get through by yourself? Do you like to use tea in cooking, decoration, or some other unconventional ways?

If you are a non-food blogger that works too! Or if you want to start a blog, we're here to help! Come one, come all!

Every time I go to the local coffee shops during the weekday, I notice how almost everyone is staring at their computer screen rather than socializing. The idea here is to change that. I've noticed a lot of people work from home in this part of the East Bay and thought it would be nice to organize the occasional meetup at a local coffee shop to take a break from the screen and meet some new people in the neighborhood.

Attention: Tea Lovers of East Bay. Finally, a group in the East Bay that cares about tea, pastries, coffee, and other things. We are a group of rebels who do not take tea lightly; we could... but we don't! This group is about enjoying a good cup of tea in the company of others who appreciate a good cup of tea. We stand or sit for freedom and pastries, with a good cup of tea (or coffee) in our hands, in good company. There may also be conversations, preferably, about nothing in particular.

I've been studying Esperanto for a while and would like to find other people who are interested in studying together on a weekly basis. I've already used Esperanto while traveling, including an intensive language course in Europe. I plan to use it on my next trips as well. If you are new to Esperanto, check out my blog post on how to learn Esperanto. I can teach you what I already know, and we can go from there. We'll try to get some fluent speakers to help out when possible. All levels are welc …
