Bones festes addictes! S'estrena la molt esperada guanyadora del Festival de Venècia 'Father Mother Sister Brother' d'un dels meus (i els teus) directors preferits, Jim Jarmusch. Una obra de tres parts que, segons les crítiques, la senzillesa, la dolçor i crua quotidianitat, la fan semblar gairebé un miracle. La veurem als **Verdi, el divendres 26 de desembre, sessió de les 20:15h** (que ja us hauran baixat els canalons de la iaia). Quedem una mitja hora abans a l'entrada. Fitxa tècnica: Títol original: Father Mother Sister Brother Any: 2025 Durada: 110 min País: EEUU Direcció, guió i música: Jim Jarmusch Género: Comèdia dramàtica. Repartiment: Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Charlotte Rampling, Cate Blanchett, Vicky Krieps, Mayim Bialik, Indya Moore, Luka Sabbat, Sarah Greene, Françoise Lebrun,... Sinopsi: Tres històries sobre relacions distants entre pares i fills. Totes tenen lloc en l'actualitat, però cadascuna en un país diferent. La pel·lícula és estudi de personatges tranquil, observacional i sense prejudicis. Una comèdia, però entreteixida amb fils de melancolia. https://youtu.be/Gclby7WF3Mg Ens veiem divendres, per fi! :DD

First Sundays are free admission at Franklin Park Conservatory. Sunday, January 4th, is also the last day The Palm House will be open before renovations begin. Let’s meet, enjoy a respite from January weather, and wander the gardens. Free neanthe bella palms are available to guests, beginning at 10am, while supplies last. Afterwards, we can visit the nearby East Market (212 Kelton Avenue).

Come and join our lively Japanese language meetup, where Japanese language learners and native speakers come together to learn, play, and connect. We’ll practice through fun games and interactive conversation in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Whether you’re just starting out, more advanced, or a native speaker who enjoys helping others, everyone is encouraged to join and participate. After the library we'll take a leisurely walk together to get food/drinks. There are many options around including North Market Bridge Park. It's a perfect opportunity to continue our conversations and enjoy each other's company over a meal.

We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator. Join us on Sunday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking! • What we'll do Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at noon on Sundays. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: 12:00 - quick intros. 12:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour. 1:10 - chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 1-1:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! • What to bring Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible. See you at The Café on Sunday!

We’re still working to get more people into these Meetups, but our goal is to give PlayYourCourt members a few social tennis outings each week in addition to your practice sessions and Challenge League matches. These Meetups are co-ed, super laid back, and all skill levels are welcome. Post your skill level and a suggested court in the comments section so we can round up as many players as we can for some tennis fun! Also, if you’re looking to meet new practice partners or play some matches and you aren’t already in the PlayYourCourt Community, you can go here to see what we’re all about and sign up: https://www.playyourcourt.com/tennis-community/columbus-oh/meetup/ If you love tennis, we’d love to have you! Be sure and watch the quick video that explains how everything works. Happy hitting! - Scott
