Oakland Noticing Club: Myth

Myths, photos, and neighborhood lore at Local Economy

On Saturday, November 7, the Oakland Noticing Club gathers at Local Economy from 1:00 to 2:00 pm for a small, curious hour built around the theme of myth.

This is the kind of event where the performers are the people in the room. Bring a photo, a short poem, a tiny video, a strange memory, or just a story you keep thinking about. The theme leaves plenty of room for Oakland oddities, neighborhood legends, folklore, fairy tale echoes, and those little everyday moments that feel like they came from somewhere older.

Local Economy gives this a fitting setting. It feels like a place for conversation, observation, and passing something around the table. Nothing fancy is required. Just show up with your eyes open.

If you like people watching, walking around Oakland, collecting weird details, or hearing how other folks see the same streets, this should be a sweet way to spend part of the afternoon.

Details are at Planet Zoop.

Turn on your curiosity radar and join us for the latest meeting of the Oakland Noticing Club, an informal meet-up inspired by Rob Walker’s “Savor of the Month” at The Art of Noticing.
This month’s theme is Myth: urban legends, neighborhood lore, everyday magic, imaginary things, things that remind you of stories from fairytales, folklore or mythology, or inspire you to make up your own myths.
Bring your photos, poems, little videos, whatever, to share with the group.
