## Schedule

We will begin to meet at 5:30 pm at Ted's Bulletin - 505 8th Street SE. I will be wearing a black cap with "geek" on the front. We'll eat, drink, chat and try not to have our arms chopped off by a Jedi.

At 7:00 pm, we'll ride our speeders to 701 Pennsylvania Ave SE, Washington, DC to watch Jedi and Sith duel at the Star Wars Nighttime Spectacular.

If we survive that, we'll head over to Sith Hapens at Lola's for some drinks that are out of this world.

## Communication

A #starwarsnight channel will be created on the GNO Discord server before the event. It's to be used to help everyone communicate and find the group. You can join the Discord server here: https://discord.gg/d4e9MKScVP (link should be permanent. Please let me know if it stops working)
I will let you know how to find me on the day of the event.

## Metro

It's about a 7-minute walk from the Eastern Market Metro Station (along the Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines).
I'm looking forward to seeing you!

May The Force Be With You!

Puzzled Pint DC/Arlington
Tue, May 12 · 7:00 PM EDT
Clarendon, 3100 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, VA, US
What can be a more geeky night out than spending an evening solving puzzles in a pub, especially after a pandemic? Yes, Puzzled Pint is returning to being in-person! See www.puzzledpint.com

This free event works like this: On the website puzzledpint.com is a puzzle. Solve it and find out where we'll be puzzling on Tuesday -- it'll be at a pub near a metro station. Go there and do free puzzle sets! The puzzle sets are meant for teams of three or four people -- if you don't have a team and want one, you can form a team here on Meetup, or the kind Puzzled Pint people will likely help.

Some notes:
-- These are "puzzle hunt" style puzzles, which have an interesting style of their own. If you are new to this kind of puzzle, DON'T PANIC when you first see the location puzzle, and don't hesitate to get hints. After all, the point is to have fun, not be frustrated!
-- Also, for new people, a basic guide is available here:
http://www.puzzledpint.com/files/3513/8254/7894/2013_10_22_Puzzling_Basics_Infographic.pdf
-- Note that this event isn’t hosted by GNO, but by Puzzled Pint. Feel free to post here to form groups etc, but don’t expect the kind Puzzled Pint Organizers to have read any messages here.
-- If people come late, they can either form their own group, or join a pre-existing group. However, since the event is designed for groups of 3 or 4 people, forming a new group will probably work out better. The 7:00 time is just when they start handing out the puzzles -- if your group wants to start later, that'll be fine
