Rental insurance for a birthday party?

We tried to reserve a picnic table at a local park for my kids birthday party and the city of west sac confirmed the booking and said they’d finalize it as soon as we showed proof of our million dollar rental insurance policy.

wtf? They also said if we served food (birthday cake?) we’d need a food permit too.

This has to be a mistake right? I already wrote the city back and waiting for a response but this is insane. If I just show up the morning of the party and lay my crap on a table it’s not only free but I don’t need a million dollar insurance policy and food handler permit.

This isn’t even what I wanted to do for my kiddos big day so gotta say, the hoops here are so far a huge deterrent to moving forward. Gotta be a mistake right? RIGHT???.

Looking for new members to join our film and production meet ups

Hey Sac citizens! I have a group of almost 200 locals and each week some of us meet up for at least one film and then we go out for drinks and food after. One event we went to was a showing of The Thing at the Crest Theater where there was almost 1,000 attendees all screaming and laughing with the movie. Some of us also work in media and we team up for projects. Two of our members found each other this past week and just worked on a new, local music video!

If you love movies, just want a movie buddy or want a career in film (whether you have any experience or not), come join us! It's a great way to meet friends, enjoy movies and be creative (movie nights and film production do not have to be mutually-exclusive, you can do one or both!).

The group has members of all ages from 20 to nearly 50, all sexual orientations, races, introverts, extroverts, production experts and people who have never even stepped foot on a film set; it is truly a group for everyone who enjoys film as a medium or as a career!

I can now proudly say, thanks to the mod team on r/Sacramento, we are now on the sidebar in the "other links" section! However, drop a comment here and I can guide you to the group to make it easier. See you there!

Lots of smoke tonight. Anyone know where the fire is?

I heard firetrucks a bit ago, sometime after 10pm. When I looked outside just now, I could see the smoke in the dark. Does anyone know where the fire is?

El Niño’s looking wild this year, anyone else prepping? (flood insurance/evac routes)

Ocean temps are already hotter than the 97-98 super El Niño and we’re still months from the peak. Some models have this winter landing in the top 20% wettest ever for CA.

Got curious and looked up my FEMA flood zone. Turns out some panel data for our area is still from 1995, before a lot of Southport was even built. My address came back with nothing on file, no zone letter at all. I know the levees have gotten real upgrades but still uneasy to see nothing on file for our area. Kept my flood insurance anyway, figured it’s “cheap” peace of mind.

Curious how everyone else is thinking about this. Got flood insurance? Does anyone know where our evac routes are mapped, or when the city usually starts handing out sandbags? Trying to get ahead of it before we’re in the middle of one lol

Local 3-person Shakespeare comedy coming to Roseville this August 🎭

Hi everyone!

I'm part of Chronicle Stage, a local community theater company, and we're putting on The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) [Revised] [Again] in Roseville from August 28–30.

If you've never heard of it, it's a ridiculously fast-paced comedy where three actors perform all 37 of Shakespeare's plays in about 90 minutes. Even if you've never read Shakespeare, it's written to be accessible, chaotic, and genuinely funny.

We've been rehearsing all summer, and it's been a blast. If you're looking for something different to do that weekend—or just want to support local theater—we'd love to see you there.

📍 The Rock

725 Vernon St., Roseville

📅 August 28–30

Happy to answer any questions about the show, community theater, or Shakespeare!
