Handmade Cards

I'm out of town this week and we have Alex's Enchantment Cube subbing in for this week! [What is Cube?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNDBTRG6keM) What: Enchanted to Meet You Cube Draft The list can be seen here: [Enchanted to Meet You](https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/enchantedCube) When: 6:00pm Where: Your Hobby Place in Old Town Alexandria (Your Hobby Place, 700 N Washington St, Alexandria, VA 22314) We aim to start drafting shortly after 6:00pm as the store's register closes at 9:00pm. The store owner is kind enough to keep the space open for us to finish rounds. In previous events we've usually wrapped up around 9:45. All skill levels are welcome and all cards, lands, tokens needed are provided so you only need to bring yourself and potentially some dice and playmat if you prefer. Join Your Hobby Place's Discord and grab the Cube Role in the mtg-chat channel for the most up to date information on cube at their location: [https://discord.gg/9je3G8vzXh](https://discord.gg/9je3G8vzXh)

Join DC Metro Crafts at our first home event this year. Bring your own cross stitch, knitting, crochet, or other portable craft. The Southwest Library is right off the Waterfront Metro. We'll be in Meeting Room 1. Go through both glass double doors and loop around to the right to find us. There are plenty of tables to spread out.

Join us between 6:00 and 9:30 to play nontraditional board games at Brew Belly restaurant in Olney, MD. Some games will be provided but please do bring along games you are interested in playing! The start time is now 6:00, giving you the chance, if you would like, to come and grab some food and drink and settle in before gaming starts at 630. RSVPs let us know who to look out for, and if you will be arriving much after 6:30, shoot us a message in the event chat. That will let us know to start with a quicker game so you can get gaming sooner when you arrive!

Since we're looking for **brand innovation** and **out-of-the-box thinking**, I wanted to start off with the Washington DC MLK Library Makerspace, known as The Labs. A makerspace, is a unique place for crafts, high tech manufacturing including 3-D Printers, textile machinery and more. It's a great place for entrepreneurs to use the technology and/or have a business. It's also a great place for people who are tinkerers. This event is a chance to take a **tour of The Labs.** The **tour limit is 15** people, and so, if you're interested, please sign up. I have worked with the Labs just to confirm our tour. The Labs \| District of Columbia Public Library requirements: **Appropriate and Safe Attire** To remain safe around Fabrication Lab machinery please avoid wearing loose clothing. Pull back your long hair or beard, necklaces or scarves, and wear closed toe shoes. **Bag and Personal Items Guidelines** Up to two handheld items and two large bags (no larger than 36 inches)

We'll be drafting Chelsea's Duskmourn/Neon Dynasty inspired cube! Playing on the magic conceptualizations of past, present, and future introduced in neon dynasty, this draft environment will have you paying close attention to the card types in your deck. Please take pictures of your decklist. All feedback on the cube is appreciated. https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/Carol If you love this list and want to play others like it, check out Lunch Box! A casual day of drafting cube at a Baltimore brewery, where all funds go to supporting school lunch programs https://www.tixtree.com/e/lunch-box-charity-cube-event-db9a8ec8c8ec **CONDUCT POLICY** We cultivate a safe, friendly atmosphere. Please keep other's feelings close to mind. Derogatory comments of any kind are unacceptable, as is behavior that may make others uncomfortable, such as rage-quitting. If the stresses of the game are getting to you, we encourage you to politely sit out for a while. Thank you! **TARDINESS POLICY** If you're more than 10 minutes late, I'll enlist my wife to draft for you until your arrival. If she's unavailable, we'll make random, blind picks for you. If this is your first time RSVPing to one of my events, please message me to confirm your full vaccination status and that you will be attending.

**Calling all queer crochet enthusiasts;** I am a visual artist located in Columbus that is searching for people who may want to gather while also participating in creating a piece of artwork. My goal is to spend time enjoying one another’s company while making a work of art that will be displayed within our community. I plan to teach people to crochet (if unfamiliar) while also inviting current fiber artists to join us for some much-needed social interaction. There are no expectations from those who attend, materials will be included, and any amount of participation is welcome! If you have a favorite crochet hook or current project you are welcome to bring that along too! The primary goal is to foster a safe space for our community to chat, create and be. For further information please email [landerknits@outlook.com.](http://landerknits@outlook.com.) \*This will be our 2nd meeting, bring friends and make new ones. Come as you are and make along side other like-minded folks.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected.

Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
