We are writers of all levels – beginners to published. And we meet at STARBUCK at IFC (P2 Shop2097-2098, International Finance Centre), Central for fun writing and sharing sessions! We all write a one-sentence prompt, then each select one at random. We write something based on the prompt for 45 minutes, after which, we share our work with each other and discuss as desired. Of course, sharing is optional but encouraged. (Feedback is always polite and respectful.) Alternatively, you can bring your own project(s) to work on in the company of fellow writers (published and yet-to-be published). You can share your project(s), too, if you want. It's all about creativity and productivity in a supportive environment! Any questions, just reach out to our organizers through Meetup.

\*\*\*please register your session to attend\*\*\* Hi 👋🏼 Yogis I am yoga instructor Sophia. As a new yoga teacher (200 YTT certified), I’m excited to share the practice of stretching and Hatha Yoga with others, guiding you through mindful breath and purposeful movement. We’ll explore foundational poses, gentle alignment, and slow, steady stretches that honor your body's limits while inviting greater flexibility and balance. My intention is to create a supportive space where we practice together, learn from each other, and cultivate calm, focus, and presence both on and off the mat. Whether you’re new to yoga or returning after a pause, we’ll move at a comfortable pace, listen to our bodies, and celebrate small progress as we grow.

All you need to do is * Bring your own yoga mat * small towel to assist with stretching * wear comfortable outfit 🩷 We’ll meet at the wood deck by the waterfront of Tamar Park.

**Transportation of all kinds, just not walking.** **This week’s theme is getting around**—the cities choreography and human drama of boarding, riding, waiting, parking, squeezing through, loading up, breaking down, **and all the hardware required.** **We're after wheels of all kinds—transportation, the hardware and hard feelings of this urban experience:** buses, minibuses, bikes, scooters, motorcycles, cars, and everything that comes with them—the queues, doors, climbing in or out hands on rails, bumpers, parking lots, curbside chaos, the beauty and the gore of daily transportation scene. Wheelchairs count. A kid on a dad’s shoulder counts too. *** #### **What To Look For:** #### **Bus Life** * Double-deckers and minibuses pulling in, idling for the exits and queue, lurching away like a small boat in a big wave. * Minibuses. Say no more—they're go-carts driven by crazy men. Go ride one and document it. * People waiting in a queue, entertained in unison with their phones, watching for the route number * Boarding + exiting: stepping up, tapping cards, squeezing past, jumping off late * Faces in windows, reflections, pressed hands on glass * The stop itself: shelters, signage, curb paint, the crowd forming and dissolving #### **Two Wheels + Engines** * Bikes and scooters in motion or locked up in clusters * Motorcycles: riding, filtering traffic, revving at lights * Parked motorcycles: tight rows, covers, helmets, scratched tanks, chrome + grime #### **Cars + The Infrastructure Around Them** * Parking behavior: double-parks, tight squeezes, loading zones, hazards on * Bumpers and bodywork: dents, tape fixes, scraped paint, polished shine * People with cars: leaning, cleaning, unloading, waiting, waving someone in, or more likely, looking too smug. #### **Also In Scope (Any transport besides walking)** * Delivery vehicles, cargo bikes, sidewalk carts being towed/pushed as part of a transport moment * Wheelchairs navigating ramps/curbs, getting on/off transit, moving through crowds *** ### **Moments to Hunt** * The choreography: doors open → line compresses → bodies flow → doors close * Transfers: the hurried decision, the glance, the sprint, the missed connection * Crowd physics: who yields, who blocks, who slips through * Sound made visible: vibration, exhaust heat, motion blur, rain spray, headlight glare * Beauty + gore: ishiny scooter next to a wrecked bumper; order and mess in the same frame *** ### **How to Shoot It** * Try from the inside: again, minibuses! * Use shutter speed deliberately: freeze the step, blur the rush, streak the lights * Work the edges: hands on poles, feet at the threshold, ticket taps, mirrors, bumpers * Look for layers: reflections in windows, faces behind glass, overlapping vehicles *** ### **Meet-Up Details** * **Start: 3:00 PM** * Location: Jordan Station, Exit A, street level * Jordan (TWL) Exit A puts you immediately on Nathan Rd and Jordan Roads, good for bus stops, minibuses passing/pausing, queues, boarding/alighting, and it’s a clean launch point to walk west to Canton Road or northwest to Austin Rd for parking, scooters and motorcycles. * * **Debrief: 4:30 PM** at: MOBIN * Located in: [Eaton](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=4f709db2114f009d&cs=1&output=search&q=Eaton+HK&ludocid=3663969110848279377&lsig=AB86z5VzaFZpaOTxe4Bj2CTndz2L&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjTg_6T2cyTAxUhJNAFHXe5MqcQ8G0oAHoECBQQAQ) Hotel * 380 Nathan Rd, Jordan, Hong Kong *** ### **After the Walk** * Post 5–10 images. * Aim for a mix of: * Waiting / boarding / riding * Parked / jammed / damaged / polished * Wide scenes + tight details The goal: photograph how the city moves because of transportation — and what it does to people (and what people do to it). Catch the line. Catch the door. Catch the moment it all moves.

The topic for April is "Water" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

Pay attention! We’re delaying a week for those of you who may be on Spring break and/or celebrating the holiday. Ok, no pancakes, but waffles-a-plenty. Join the local UX and Digital Design community for a casual monthly breakfast. Look for us upstairs!

Learn how seller finance and notes can create cash flow and new deal opportunities with 40-year investor Eddie Speed **FREE TICKET** 🎟️ https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-structure-real-estate-deals-using-seller-finance-and-notes-tickets-1984826171509?aff=cicmeetupapp Most real estate investors only know one way to make money: Buy the property. Fix the property. Rent it or sell it. But there’s another side of real estate that can create cash flow, flexibility, and opportunity without only focusing on owning more property. At this month’s Columbus Investors Club, Tiffany and Josh High are sitting down with Eddie Speed - a real estate veteran with 40 years of experience who has closed more than 50,000 note deals. He has spent decades helping investors understand how to structure deals through seller finance and notes, and how to think more like the bank instead of just the buyer. This will be a practical conversation around a part of real estate most people have heard about, but very few truly understand. If you’ve ever wanted to know how to create more opportunities in deals, generate cash flow in a different way, or understand how seller finance actually works in the real world, this is a night you want to be in the room for. You’ll walk away thinking about deals differently, seeing new possibilities, and understanding how creative structuring can open doors that traditional investing alone can’t. **What You’ll Learn** * How seller finance works in real estate deals * How notes fit into real estate and create opportunity * How to structure deals more creatively * How investors generate cash flow by focusing on the payment * How to think like the bank instead of only focusing on owning the property * How this strategy can create flexibility in today’s market **Open Q&A - Ask Eddie Anything About** * Seller finance and how to use it in real deals * How notes work in a practical, beginner-friendly way * Creating cash flow without only relying on rentals * Structuring deals that others might miss * How experienced investors think differently about financing * Common mistakes investors make when they only focus on the property **Why You Should Be in the Room** Because the investors who win in the long run know how to do more than just buy houses. They know how to structure.They know how to create terms.They know how to see opportunities other people miss. This is the kind of conversation that can expand the way you think about real estate entirely. Come ready to learn, ask questions, take notes, and connect with people who are serious about growing in this business. **Reserve your free seat now - and be part of the conversation.** Grab your spot here ➡️ https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-structure-real-estate-deals-using-seller-finance-and-notes-tickets-1984826171509?aff=cicmeetupapp

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
