PARKING: STREET IS FREE, OMNI IS $8 WITH VALIDATION Please register at https://luma.com/62uzagh0 so I can get an accurate headcount 🙏 * ​Ever been to a networking event, so bored you can't wait to leave? * ​Or on a date, looking at your phone and ready to bounce? * ​Or a dinner party where the person is droning on and on and won't quit? ​They all have something in common: you think the problem is *out there*, but even if that's true, with a little practice you can always make it come alive! ​Come to Authentic Relating for Founders and Friends (which is basically anyone), where you gain the skills—and most importantly, practice them—to turn small talk into real connections. It doesn't matter if you are socially awkward like I was (ok, sometimes still am), or if you're the life of the party: you will improve your communication and gain the ninja skill to transform boredom into fascination. ​And don't worry about having to sit through a tedious lecture: we spend nearly all the time playing communication games with others. That means more: * ​Meeting new people * ​Having authentic connections * ​Experiencing people ACTUALLY LISTENING TO YOU ​Crazy, huh? If you ever watched Fight Club and were frustrated with interactions where people were just waiting for their turn to talk, THIS IS FOR YOU. ​Each week will be different games, and you will embody more: * ​Emotional Intelligence * ​Relational acuity * ​Conversational flow * ​Secure boundaries ​I especially welcome anyone who believes they're not good at talking to people or are unsure if this is right for them. Please reach out privately and we can have a brief 1x1 to see if it works for you. ​The evening will go something like this: ​5:45 Doors open, meet new people 6:00 Official begin - PLEASE BE ON TIME! 8:00 Official end 8:30 Hard close ​Facilitated by Shawn Lauzon, an ART International-certified Authentic Relating Facilitator with over 10 years of experience—after 20 years of having no clue how to talk with people. \-\-\- ​*Thank you to Station Austin for sponsoring Authentic Relating for Founders and Friends. Station Austin is the center of gravity for entrepreneurs in Texas. They bring together the best entrepreneurs in the state and connect them with their first investors, employees, mentors, and customers.

Join us for Monday morning coffee, crafting and conversation! Bring what ever portable project you are working on. If you are new to the craft there are usually folks to help you learn. There are a variety of coffee and tea items and a tiny selection of pastry items. Pineview Coffee Company is a small yet spacious coffee shop on the 1st floor inside the Aspen Lake Amenity building. There is only a small sign by the door that has the name of the coffee shop so it can be a little challenging to find. Hope to see you there! PS unofficially part of this group meets here every Monday so come what ever week you can.

Hey everyone! Let’s go to Downtown Round Rock and see a FREE show! This is part of the city’s concert series where there are free shows every Wednesday until the end of June. Bring a blanket or a lawn chair so that you have a place to sit during the show. Feel free to bring snacks to share or you can get popcorn sold at the park or pizza and beer next door. Music starts at 7, but you may want to arrive early to grab a good spot. See ya there!

we've had some weird things happen with the location in the Meetup app. the right address is 2471 AW Grimes, very close to 45 in a small shopping center. it is NOT in downtown Round Rock Hey there F$#&ing friends! Love music? Love winning? Then Music Bingo is your jam! 🎵 Win awesome prizes, enjoy great drinks, and vibe to the music! Let’s play! 🎸🍻 No bingo card required, you play on your phone. How it works: they play a short clip of a song, and then regardless of whether you know it or not, they'll give you the answer so you can mark it on your phone..if you happen to know it and can mark your board a little faster, yell BINGO! There's a theme for each round, it's good times and good music. 🎸🍻 If you're not into the bingo scene, there's a ton of games and a full bar. The food is also pretty good.

Do y'all love singing your favorite songs and adult beverages? Of course you do! Come join us at the Water Tank for a great time. Not sure if they have your favorite song?

**Come join us as we celebrate our very successful 2nd year as a group!** We will gather on the patio of Whitestone Brewery around 2:00 pm on Saturday, April 25th. We will socialize for a little while as the team finishes preparing the crawfish. At 2:30, we will share a moment of gratitude for the friendships and connections that we have fostered during our first year together. After that we will eat, drink, and socialize...what we do best! **Please note there are 2 events for the same celebration**. The event you are reading about now is for those who do NOT want crawfish. For those not eating crawfish, I encourage you to come and enjoy some great pizza from 600 degree pizza that is collocated with Whitestone Brewery! If you want to attend the celebration and enjoy some crawfish, you can sign up for the event that has the same title but **WITH crawfish**. Please reach out to anyone you connected with through this group and encourage them to come celebrate with us. And, if you haven't joined us for an event yet, this will be fantastic opportunity to make some great new friends! I hope to see you there, Mike

**Come join us as we celebrate our very successful 2nd year as a group!** We will gather on the patio of Whitestone Brewery around 2:00 pm on Saturday, April 25th. We will socialize for a little while as the team finishes preparing the crawfish. At 2:30, we will share a moment of gratitude for the friendships and connections that we have fostered during our first 2 years together. After that we will eat, drink, and socialize...what we do best! **Please note there are 2 events for the same celebration**. The event you are reading about now is for those who want to chip in and eat crawfish prepared by our very own Henry. Henry will cook up some delicious mud bugs for us and the cost for this privilege is $20 for approximately 3 pounds of crawfish and other fixings. After you RSVP I will send you instructions for paying your $20. This event is capped at 25 to keep the crawfish preparation manageable. If you want to attend the celebration but do not want crawfish, you can sign up for the event that has the same title but WITHOUT crawfish. Please reach out to anyone you connected with through this group and encourage them to come celebrate with us. And, if you haven't joined us for an event yet, this will be fantastic opportunity to make some great new friends! I hope to see you there, Mike

The group limits us to 10 people signing up. If the spots are "filled" that does not mean anything, just show up and look for us out there. Alright the group is looking good, we appear to have 6 to 8 consistent members who are coming! That is fantastic, I look forward to when we have 20 people consistently coming. At that point, I will buy some vests to help everyone identify their teammates as we play. We will continue to have the start time be 6:30PM and play until 8:30PM. That provides people more time to get home from work deal with personals things (eating dinner, letting their dog out, etc.) I will continue to bring a small cooler with ice in case someone forgets to bring a water. \*From the previous week\* Hello, my name is Sylas Brock Jones and I want to invite YOU to come out to this event. Everyone 18+ is welcome here (yes, even if you're 40, 50, 60+ years old), You don’t need to be fast, athletic, or in any particular shape. Ultimate frisbee is great for everyone because even with walking you will be "open" and get thrown the frisbee during the game. If you’re feeling nervous or unsure, that’s totally normal, and you’ll fit right in. Bring some water to drink and some sort of chair to sit during our 5-7 minute breaks :) If you're interested please register (and join the group!), you're also free to text me @ 512-599-0032 if you have any questions or simply want to say hi and introduce yourself.

Come join us for a fun night out at The Water Tank's restaurant and full bar. We'll play games, enjoy drink specials and make some new friends as well. They have various games at the venue. Feel free to bring your friends with you and we'll see you there!
