Welcome to Flipside Vinyl Club! 

If this is your first time here, please read this.

What is Flipside?

1. Flipside is a free record listening and sharing club held at Syzygy, a member-supported organization sustained through member fees and participant donations. If you’d like to donate to Syzygy, there are QR links around the space. We also accept cash donations.
2. You are not required to participate.
3. If you don’t own any records and would like to participate, you can borrow records from the San Francisco Public Library with a library card.
4. This event is BYOB. You’re also welcome to bring in food. Snacks on the kitchen table are for everyone.
5. If you have any feedback, please email us at flipsidebayarea@gmail.com 

What we do

📝Sign up! 

• Write your name on the whiteboard if you’d like to play a song during vinyl club.
• Write the song and artist if you know what song you’d like to play when you sign up. You’re welcome to add it later once you know your pick. We’ll share a Spotify playlist of what we played sometime after the event.
• Please choose songs under 8 minutes long. We want to have time for everyone to share.

🎶Play your song

• Share a bit about the song/artist if you want to.
• Pass around the record sleeve, if you want to and the sleeve isn’t fragile or valuable to you.
• We’re happy to help if you need help queuing the song on the record player!

🔝Back to the top

• We’ll go through the sign-up list again if there’s time, once everyone who signed up has played a song.

Ground rules

1. Listen Respectfully - If someone is speaking, please minimize your talking to avoid interruptions.
2. Handle Items Carefully – If touching or passing around an item, be gentle and respectful.
3. Respect Differences – Everyone’s interests are unique, so be open-minded and appreciative.
4. Have Fun!

Inclusivity Statement

Our goal is to establish a setting where everyone is treated with respect, feels appreciated, and is included. We value diversity in all its manifestations, including background, ability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, and ethnicity. We work to make sure that every voice is heard and valued because we think that our differences make us stronger. Any form of exclusion, harassment, or discrimination will not be accepted.

Safe Space Statement

Everyone is invited to speak openly without fear of harm. Respectful dialogue, active listening, and openness are encouraged. Participants are expected to be kind, considerate, and supportive with one another. Anyone who might feel uncomfortable or unsafe is welcomed to express a concern, and we will seek them out with discretion and compassion. Together we form a trusting and understanding community built on mutual respect.
