A couple weeks ago, we gathered friends from the events and entertainment world in the San Francisco Bay Area for an afternoon of laughs, crisp drinks, and legendary sandwiches—launching our new event series: Half Days.
Half Days are exactly what they sound like—a literal half day of work, every six weeks or so, where we encourage guests to shut the laptop, grab a drink, and connect with great people. We pick the bar, we pick the sandwich spot, we open a tab, and friends drop in as they please—often leaving with a new contact (or three) who can make work-life more interesting, serendipitous, and fruitful.
For this edition, we posted up at April Jean in North Beach—a modern, design-forward vinyl listening bar—paired with sandwiches from the legendary Italian deli Molinari’s. A DJ kept the vibe lively, the drinks stayed flowing, and by the end of the day, we all started wondering if maybe the solution isn’t a four-day workweek after all…
And this is just the start—more Half Days are already on the horizon. Keep an eye out for the next one coming down the pike.
