FunList

Bret’s pretty chill. For things in life you can or can’t predict, you can count on Bret to have thought it through. (for the most part).
Went to yoga on the mountain up in appalachia, minus the yoga and minus the sun. ‘Twas a good time to get away from the city and remember what trees and leaves, salamanders and frogs look like. And yes, there were plenty to be seen. Plus some random birds and the like.
The crew you go with is pretty much a luck of the draw — personalities, time of day, time of month, time of year, who knows when you’ll get Dr. Jekyl and when you’ll get Mr. Hyde? The people i went were pretty nice, but it was waay too early to be social with people (I have trouble cracking a smile on 3 hours of sleep — my fault, not theirs) and then you have to have a couple of crazies or story tellers in the group to make things alive. The rain probably didn’t help either. it would’ve been fun to have a little mud wrestle or a boy band re-​enactment, but didn’t think anyone else would be up for it. Anyway, it was a nice, relaxing walk with people I probably will never see again. Too bad, but that’s how things in this city roll.
yoga instructor bailed, which was fine by me. don’t want to slip on the rock and plunge to an early death. Almost happened to me in Nepal. True story. but bret did plan for this contingency and had backup instructors, only the original one didn’t tell him until half an hour beforehand and at that point the backups were probably sleeping. not that i blame them, i almost bailed too. in any case, the event was rain or shine, with the option to reschedule, and something may have been worked out between him and some of the other people who really wanted the yoga. i hope he broke even on the trip. in any case, it’s a good way to meet a lot of people in a very short amount of time.
would have been better if it was clear in the beginning where the group was (got to the meeting point and was confusing where i was supposed to be and who i was supposed to wait for). that part was a little unorganized and haphazard, but after that, everything was pretty smooth sailing.

Funlist is definitely a best kept secret, and I hope it wont be a secret anymore! The activities are so unique and affordable, and I love how the activities are created based upon the season.
Ive been involved with Funlist for a few years, and have been on 2 international trips. Absolutely the most fun I have ever had in my adult life. You HAVE to join, and be prepared make everlasting friends and memories.

I’ve been to one Funlist activity so far, and it won’t be my last! It was a weekend of nonstop creativity and camaraderie in an atmosphere which harkened back to the excitement of being a kid (only much better organized!). Hiking up snowy hill sides, tubing down a candlelit hill, communal meals, great company… Relaxation and socialization were key ingredients in this tasty fun sandwich, and I found myself savoring the flavor for days after it was all over. I’ve come away from that weekend with new friends, new experiences, lots of stories to share and plenty of great memories to relish.

Fun events + Fun people + Affordable = Funlist.
This list rocks!
Bret is like your friend and big brother taking out all of the work, and organizing all of the fun events that you wish you weren’t too lazy to make happen. But he makes it happen and then you get to go along for the fun. Thanks Bret for being the best social calendar I’ve ever had, and for connecting great fun people with other great fun people, doing great fun things. Keep it up!!!
