Hello Gundo
February 12, 2026

Hello, Gundo 👋 

If you need a last minute Valentine’s Day gift, dinner, or activity, we’ve got you covered this week.

Plus, as always, there are a ton of other events around town — including way more game nights than we’ve ever had before. I like that trend.

As always, if anything new pops up, we’ll share it on the Hello Gundo Instagram.

-Sam & Angie Greenspan

WHAT’S HAPPENIN’

We follow 150+ Instagram accounts, Facebook pages and groups, websites, and email lists to put together this comprehensive guide to everything happening in El Segundo this week.

Though we strive for 100% accuracy, as we all know too well: Schedules are subject to change. All event details are based on latest information on websites/social media. We’ve also called, DMed, and/or visited to confirm whenever possible.
