I was in SF for climate week. Attended and hosted quite a few events. Most were great none were horrible. The usual plan is to sign up for a bunch of events and then once accepted, decide which one to go to. The challenge is you have no idea how big the crowd will be.
One of them was a dud. 8 people showed up including a couple who was clearly friends of the host. Found out they lived in Austin but were from SA, went to utsa. Group did an intro and the young guy said “moved out here for work” while the wife is “I’m a hippie, part time volunteer,etc “ sounds great though I’m curious how they’re surviving on one salary in SF. Chatted the guy up and thought he may have been an engineer. Nope. He let it slip that he worked for a conservative church. 20 minutes later, the lady says to me and my colleague, who is indeed conservative himself “glad you’re here. The hippie story is a cover up. I’m a pro life activist “
be comfortable in your own skin people. No need to lie
