Not getting out enough these days? Tired of stewing in your own juices? There’s no excuse with so many great local workshops, events and classes coming up. Here are just a few that are on our radar screen.

1. We have always loved the vibe at SF co-working location NextSpace. One of their upcoming events, the Memorable Networking Event, sounds especially intriguing. Who doesn’t want to improve their ability recall information, after all?

3.  Worth mentioning are two upcoming workshops being presented by ArtsyGeek, an Oakland-based web design studio. We recently sat in on one of their classes on building an e-commerce site, and were impressed by the breadth of valuable information. These workshops seem most relevant for small business entrepreneurs trying to grasp the essentials of online social media tools. An added perk are the drums you can hear in the background from the Occupy Oakland gathering, across the street.
