The new year has officially been rung in and while new years resolutions may still be in their perilously early days, we'd like to help you make one easier for you to accomplish- exploring intriguingly fascinating new places with interesting people.

For this month's INFORUM happy hour, we've teamed up with the amazing people at the...

Much like the sapling grows from the snowy ground or the tortilla chip is transformed into a nacho by the amazing process of cheeseification, such must we all go through the transformative process of getting older. Like the mighty nacho, I feel another year adds another layer of epic (hopefully).

And a birthday without a party is akin to a hipster...

Well I'm turning 30 years old! So I suppose since it is a decade mark I should do something a bit more than just a drink. So I've decided to rent out the entire Clay theater two doors from my house and letting us have the run of the place. To add to the joy of it all I have chosen to screen movies that you never get to see in a theater...

Hey y'all,

Long time, no see! I'm headed out to SF fo a week to see some people, do some work and hopefully hang out with you!!

There's no real event here...this just seems like the easiest way to let people know via facebook. If you're going to be around that week hit me up.

The weather forecast for that week is calling...

The Zite team invites you to join them as they open their San Francisco doors to the public for the first time. Zite is a personalized magazine for iPad, iPhone and TouchPad that gets to know you the more you use it so, in true Zite fashion, the team is hosting Lunch 2.0 to get to know their users better. At the company’s new official...

This is the night of The Ball itself, a slightly more formal affair where the games, rides, cabaret acts, and steam machinery are cleared away to make room for a costumed floor of ballroom dance, roaming performances, and the tales and characters of Edward Gorey brought to life on stage and throughout.

Each year, in the depths of the night,...

Inside-out & Through

January 6 - February 4, 2012

Robert Berman / E6 Gallery is pleased to present Inside-out & Through, a solo show with Bay Area artist Nathan Richard Phelps. Phelps’ geometric black and white drawings and installations magnetize viewers with a boldness and seduction that cannot be escaped. His process...

Update:

We are getting closer to the weirdness. Hope you can make it. If you have other plans like office parties or awkward Scandinavian 4-day prior to Winter Solstice events, plan on going to Mighty later for some dancing around midnite. http://www.mighty119.com/

Hey team,

I'm getting really old. Fortunately, my name day falls during a...

Ho Ho Ho, here's more info: http://sanfranciscosantarchy.wordpress.com/2011/12/08/ho-ho-hoheres-more-info/

Moving this note up, just in case **PLEASE NOTE** Just a heads up that our friends at Wired.com are going to be around during that time, photographing our team and office in the midst of a party for a photo essay. If you don't want to be on camera, just let us know when you get here :)

If you were following along last month, you'll see...

This is one of those years where my birthday and the calendar align to give me an excuse to have a gathering on the actual day of my birth, which I feel deserves some celebration.

And so! It's time to gather at a bar and say "Hey! Happy actual birthday!" to me, and also to hang out with each other and be generally excellent....

The holiday season is upon us and so is the coming wave of holiday parties. But here’s the big question- to bring a date or not? If yes and all the magazine-fabricated icebreakers, 100s of new positions, one-liners, Groupon dating spots and OKCupid profiles aren’t delivering, we at INFORUM have just the thing: our holiday dating panel. INFORUM...

Much like the Goonies' one eyed Willy's Galleon 'o treasure, there's a hidden gem many, nay, most San Franciscans overlook. No, it's not some shady pop-up ramen stand in the mission. Of course we're talking about the Inner Sunset.

So breaking the oath we swore to secrecy, us inner-sunsetters are breaking with...

The bad news first…we will not be participating in SF's Decompression this year. But here's the GOOD NEWS…We are pre-decompressing at our long standing home away from home, The Endup, almost right up until Decompression gates open. Be sure to arrive before 2am so we might earn your help in recouping some of our expenses from our playa...
