I put this together so we could spend time playing\, building\, and sharing how we get our rocks to talk. \n​ \n​For: \n\n\n​🛠 People building with AI tools (Claude Code\, Codex\, Cursor\, agents) \n\n\n​💬 Users of ChatGPT\, Claude\, Grok\, Gemini\, want to go deeper \n\n\n​🐣 Those brand-new to AI\, just curious \n\n\n​🧠 Senior devs exploring or shipping AI \n\n\n​🚀 Founders building a product \n\n\n​🎨 Designers or creatives working AI into their flow \n\n\n​🤖 Hardware or robotics folks \n\n\n​🤝 Peeps looking for collaborators or co-founders \n\n\n​🎯 Folks looking to hire or contract someone \n\n\n​💼 Folks looking for work or employment \n\n\n​💸 Investor\, scout\, or angel \n\n\n​🌊 Nerds just trying to hang and meet people \n\n\n​Just got back from the AI Dev SF conference. 3\,000+ people\, two days of sessions on agents\, voice AI\, dev tools\, and more. I’m stoked to try and funnel some of that here. \n​ \n​☕ The format \n​Casual meetup with laptops\, at The Template. A super rad 4.8-star coffee shop in OB\, two blocks from the beach. \n​I’ll try to greet everyone\, but if I miss you\, come say hi. Lucas\, big friendly dude\, dark beard & short curly hair. I’ll ask a few Q’s so I can categorize your interests and make sure you get what you need. \n​This event is a human-in-the-loop recursive agent. \n​All g If you’d rather be a fly on the wall. Absolutely no presh. \n​ \n​🧱 The flow \n​We open with a casual hangout and chat about what’s new\, what we’re trying\, and how we are building. \n​Then we pick something fun to work on. \n​Example: I went to AI On the Lot\, the Gen AI video conference\, where we worked on mock previews for pretend movies. We made Zombie Cats. Silly. Also freaking awesome.\n\n​Come see what else we have lined up\, or suggest your own. We’ll have Claude Code and Codex learning-oriented projects\, and you can pitch ideas too. \n​Then we break into build zones. Pick a zone\, solo\, pair\, or team up\, ship something small\, or start something big. My friends and I float around helping. \n​Whoever would like\, we’ll have optional show-and-tells about what we worked on\, 3 minutes each\, followed by quickfire 15-second rounds for anyone with an intro\, ask\, or announcement. \nThen hang\, vibe\, network till 2. \n​ \n​Coffee and pastries are available for purchase at the counter.

SUMMARY:PITCH PARTY!
DESCRIPTION:This Pitch Party is a little different. \nThis isn’t corporate.\nThis isn’t PowerPoint.\nThis isn’t polished slides and perfect scripts. \nTonight is closer to slam poetry. \nIt’s raw.\nIt’s passion.\nIt’s conviction. \nIt’s founders standing up and saying:\n“This is what I believe.\nThis is the problem I want to solve.\nThis is why it matters.” \nNo slides.\nNo hiding behind presentations.\nJust your voice\, your story\, and your vision. \nBecause the best startups don’t begin with perfect decks.\nThey begin with obsession.\nWith courage.\nWith someone willing to stand up and say\, “This must exist.” \nAt The Latino Startup\, we believe entrepreneurship is one of the most powerful tools for creating economic opportunity and changing communities. But before you build the company\, you build the founder. \nTonight is about that founder. \nThis room is built for collaboration\, not competition. We’re here to challenge\, support\, and sharpen each other. \nSo bring your energy.\nBring your honesty.\nBring your fire. \nBecause tonight\, we’re not judging pitches. \nWe’re discovering builders. \nLet’s get started.

DESCRIPTION:Hello\, digital designers! Let’s get together again and welcome new (and familiar) faces in and around the SD digital design scene. \nThere are plenty of fancy design events\, this is meant to be a more casual\, personal\, and intimate meeting of designers. Introvert- and extrovert-friendly. Conversation\, not networking. \nPriority will be given to SDDD members (joining is easy — assuming you are in fact a digital designer in San Diego — and free at sddd.org). \nAgain\, this is totally casual. No agenda\, no presentation. Everyone pays for their own meal\, grabs a seat at the table\, and brings their friendly faces. Let’s chat about trends\, workplace issues\, design tools and approaches\, job opportunities\, and digital culture. \nHit up the chat here in Meetup — or in #events in Slack — with any questions at all. \nSee you there!

SUMMARY:VibeCraft Power Hour
DESCRIPTION:VibeCraft is a recurring\, collaborative working session where ideas turn into experiments and experiments turn into real builds. Each session is shaped by the group. We review what is emerging\, explore new directions\, and decide together what is worth building next. \nThis is not a presentation or a passive meetup. It is an active\, hands-on environment where members contribute ideas\, react to each other’s work\, and influence the direction of future sessions. Expect open discussion\, live demos\, shared whiteboards\, and practical exploration. \nSessions may include live walkthroughs of tools\, automations\, and AI agents\, discussions around product and company design\, rapid demos from members\, and breakdowns of different approaches to building with modern AI systems. Topics evolve over time\, but the focus remains the same: learning by doing\, building in public\, and exploring a high-tech\, high-touch future grounded in curiosity\, collaboration\, and thoughtful design. \nCome ready to participate\, share what you are building\, and help shape what we explore next as a VibeCraft community.

SUMMARY:1 Million Cups

SUMMARY:Let's Cowork in PB!
DESCRIPTION:Tired of working from your actual home\, and want a change of scenery? New to San Diego and want to meet new people? Come join us at our weekly coworking session. \nIt’s a pretty casual affair with new people every week\, some regulars\, and some just passing through. We take over a few tables at Second Nature in Pacific Beach and do a bit of work and a bit of getting to know each other. Come and go as you please\, but do remember to bring your laptop (charged as plugs are few). \nIt’s free to join\, but ideally grab some coffee or lunch & tip the servers. \nA note about RSVPs: \nThis group aims to help people meet in a small group. The max amount of people for this event is 12 people. We close the RSVP list on Mondays if there is a waitlist\, and if you can’t make it we do kindly ask that you change your status as soon as you know to give someone else a chance to attend. Those on the waitlist will receive a note on the day of the meetup letting them know if there is space or not. \nIf you sign up\, but do not attend\, you will be marked as a No Show. People with 5 No Shows will be removed from the group.

SUMMARY:Steal Like A Founder
DESCRIPTION:About the event\n\n\nAs builders and entrepreneurs we want to always be innovating; but most brainstorming begins (and ends) in the same obvious places: domain expertise\, market and industry trends\, and whatever everyone else is doing. You end up with slightly better versions of the same idea. \nThis hands-on workshop introduces a brand new approach: strategic creative theft. \nLearn how to find patterns across unrelated industries\, technologies\, cultures\, behaviors\, and business models\, then translate those patterns into practical ideas for your own ventures. Through fast-paced exercises\, real problem solving\, and AI-assisted exploration\, you’ll practice expanding your “theft radius” far beyond familiar domains. \nUsing a dedicated tool\, we will use AI not just to polish ideas\, but to provoke better ones: to surface analogies\, challenge assumptions\, remix business models\, and view problems from unexpected angles. \nIdeal for entrepreneurs\, founders\, product folks\, marketers\, and innovation-minded professionals looking to develop sharper ideas without waiting for inspiration to strike. \nBring a real business\, product\, customer\, or growth challenge you are working on. And leave with fresh angles\, usable prompts\, and a repeatable method for turning outside inspiration into practical next moves. Have your phone or laptop handy for working. \nParticipants will: \n\nLearn a repeatable framework for creative problem solving: Discover how to break down a business challenge\, identify its underlying pattern\, and search across unrelated industries or domains for useful analogies.\nUse AI as a creative accelerant: Practice using AI as more than a productivity tool\, that helps you expand your “theft radius\,” generate unexpected comparisons\, and find ideas outside your own expertise or market.\nDevelop the theft mindet: Gain the skills needed for pattern recognition in a human-AI world that is effective and solves real problems.
