Stuff To Do SF | Alex Roginski<br>Stuff To Do SF<br>Hi, I'm Alex.<br>I want to make it easier for people to find community in San Francisco.<br>I automatically collect events happening across the city and organize them into Google Calendars, so you can discover what's going on without searching several websites.<br>Everything is free. This is for you and your friends.<br>Click these links to add to your Google Calendar:<br>Arts and Culture<br>Community<br>SF Fun Cheap<br>Partiful<br>Sports/Exercise<br>LumaHere's an example of how it works:<br>This is the Arts and Cultures event calendar. It tracks the events from three SF art venues and some other reoccuring art events.

Arts and Culture

Here are the venues:<br>๐Ÿ”ฎ The Faight (Haight)<br>๐Ÿค– TIAT Art and Tech (Downtown)<br>๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ Decentered Featured Events (SOMA)

These venues all have their own websites. It's a headache to check each one manually whenever you want to find events.<br>Web scrapers go through each art venue's calendar and add them to the Google Calendar.

Quick survey<br>Do you find these calendars useful?YesKind ofNot yet

What are your favorite community spaces in the city? Where have you made your friends?<br>I will add it to the calendar :)<br>Any other feedback? Any out-of-date events on the calendar?<br>SubmitHere are some more community calendars.

Sports<br>Run Clubs, yoga, etc. I added these events manually since they're weekly and consistent.

Community<br>๐Ÿ‘ฅ Decentered Community Submitted Events (Various Locations)<br>๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿฆฐ Manny's: Community, Politics, and Culture (Mission)<br>๐Ÿ  The SF Nook: Event Space (on Market near Civic Center)<br>๐Ÿ›๏ธ The Commons: Third Space and Coworking (Hayes Valley)

This calendar can get really dense. It's good to look at it on the "Day" or "Schedule" level.

Extra Google Calendars<br>There are some additional calendars not specifically for community events.<br>Partiful Discover Page<br>This scrapes some events on the Partiful discover page for San Francisco. I have found some really fun stuff here.

SF Fun Cheap<br>SF Fun Cheap aggregates tons of stuff happening in the city. It's just hard to manually go through their calendar and find stuff to do. This calendar does that for you automatically.

Luma Discover Page<br>Mostly tech events. I haven't found this calendar useful yet.

Origins of this project<br>Last year, I lived in Sunnyvale where there wasn't much to do. Once I moved to the city, I started keeping track of the fun reoccuring events in this spreadsheet. There are more resources there for finding fun stuff like partner dancing, jamming (instruments), trivia, and unique clubs.
