**About the Show**
Three comedians. One stage. No moral compass. Expect sharp wit, unexpected punchlines, and a night of comedy that doesn’t hold back.
**Line-up**
\* Oumar Manet (Headliner)
\* Koosha Jalilian
\* Gianluca (Ghemon)
Get ready for an evening of English-language stand-up comedy that’s as daring as it is hilarious.

SOCIAL DRINKING GAMES
**🍻 SOCIAL DRINKING GAMES**
Ice-breakers? Boring. We prefer cups, rules you’ll forget in 5 minutes, and instant friendships. Lose the game, take a sip. Win the game, take a sip anyway.

La coscienza non è un software — Krishnamurti nell'era dell'AI (It/En spoken)
**Italiano**
Già negli anni '80, quando il computer era appena agli albori, Krishnamurti pose una domanda che oggi risuona con urgenza straordinaria:
***"Se la macchina può fare tutto ciò che l'essere umano sa fare, cosa resterà dell'uomo?"***
In questo secondo incontro del gruppo esploreremo il tema dell'**impatto della tecnologia sull'essere umano** attraverso la lente degli insegnamenti di Krishnamurti — ma anche con apertura ad altre voci e prospettive.
Krishnamurti non era contro la tecnologia in sé. Vedeva però chiaramente un pericolo sottile: che il cervello umano, abituandosi alla velocità, all'efficienza e alla delega alla macchina, diventasse sempre più meccanico, distratto, ottuso — incapace di quel movimento interiore che solo può portare una vera trasformazione.
**Come si svolgerà l'incontro**
L'incontro non è una lezione: è una conversazione aperta tra persone che vogliono **indagare insieme**, senza dare per scontata nessuna risposta. Nello spirito di Krishnamurti, non si tratta di "studiare" un pensiero, ma di osservare direttamente — in noi stessi — quanto la tecnologia stia già plasmando il modo in cui pensiamo, sentiamo e ci relazioniamo.
**Alcune domande** che potremmo esplorare insieme:
* La velocità e la frammentazione digitale stanno rendendo la nostra mente più superficiale?
* Stiamo delegando alla macchina non solo il lavoro, ma anche il significato?
* È possibile usare la tecnologia senza diventare noi stessi più meccanici?
* C'è uno spazio interiore che nessuna macchina può toccare — e lo stiamo coltivando?
Nessuna esperienza precedente richiesta. Portate solo la vostra presenza e la disponibilità a guardare senza giudicare e senza motivazioni.
**Ingresso libero — posti limitati. Confermate la partecipazione tramite Meetup.**
Ci vediamo al Rob De Matt; il locale è a vocazione sociale; la consumazione presso il locale non è obbligatoria ma consigliata in quanto ospita il nostro evento.
**English**
Already in the 1980s, when computers were just in their infancy, Krishnamurti asked a question that today resonates with extraordinary urgency:
***"If the machine can do everything a human being can do, what will be left of man?"***
In this second meeting of the group, we will explore the theme of **technology's impact on human beings** through the lens of Krishnamurti's teachings — but also with openness to other voices and perspectives.
Krishnamurti was not against technology itself. However, he clearly saw a subtle danger: that the human brain, growing accustomed to speed, efficiency, and delegation to the machine, might become increasingly mechanical, distracted, and dull — incapable of that inner movement which alone can bring about true transformation.
**How the Meeting Will Unfold**
The meeting is not a lecture: it is an open conversation among people who want to enquire together, without taking any answer for granted. In the spirit of Krishnamurti, this is not about "studying" a thought, but about observing directly — within ourselves — how much technology is already shaping the way we think, feel, and relate to one another.
**Some questions** we might explore together:
* Are speed and digital fragmentation making our minds more superficial?
* Are we delegating to the machine not only work, but also meaning?
* Is it possible to use technology without becoming more mechanical ourselves?
* Is there an inner space that no machine can touch — and are we nurturing it?
No prior experience required. Bring only your presence and the willingness to look without judging and without agenda.
**Free entry — limited seats. Please confirm your attendance via Meetup.**
See you at Rob De Matt; the venue has a social vocation; purchasing something at the venue is not mandatory but encouraged, as it is hosting our event.

Che fiore sei? 🌸
Maggio, il mese dei fiori… e della rinascita 🌸
Il momento perfetto per rallentare, respirare e ritagliarti uno spazio tutto tuo.
Quale fiore ti rappresenta davvero?
Quello che ami, quello che senti tuo, o quello che oggi parla di te.
In questo workshop ogni partecipante sceglierà il proprio fiore e lo trasformerà in un dipinto ad acquerello.
Non è richiesta alcuna esperienza tecnica: potrai esprimerti liberamente, anche in modo astratto, seguendo il tuo istinto e le tue emozioni.
Se preferisci, potrai lasciarti guidare da stencil con diverse forme floreali.
💧 L’acquerello, con i suoi tempi lenti e i suoi movimenti fluidi, diventa un gesto calmante e rilassante: un modo per lasciare andare il controllo e ritrovare leggerezza, colore dopo colore.
🌼 Giocheremo anche con il linguaggio dei fiori, scoprendo simboli, significati e messaggi nascosti… per connetterci ancora di più a ciò che scegliamo di rappresentare.
Saremo all'esterno del locale nel suo bellissimo giardino che sarà ispirante per la pratica 😊
(in caso di maltempo saremo all'interno).
**Attenzione! Early bird 12€ per iscrizioni entro domenica 17 maggio.**
**☕** **Contributo workshop:** **15€**
comprensivi di:
- mia guida
– carta da acquerello
– acquerelli
– pennelli
– stencil
- acqua al tavolo
- il tuo disegno che porterai a casa con te 🌸
Eventuali ulteriori consumazioni al bar saranno a carico di ciascun partecipante. Quota da poter versare tramite paypal o satispay.
Si prega di confermare la presenza entro venerdì 15 maggio.
Se il workshop sarà rinviato la quota verrà restituita.
Possibilità di cancellare prenotazione entro 48h con rimborso quota.

✨ Questo non è un corso di pittura, ma uno spazio sicuro di espressione.
Un momento per esplorare la tua idea di femminilità, senza giudizio, senza regole, senza aspettative.
Solo tu, il colore… e il tuo fiore.
🌷 Ti va di scoprire quale sei?

Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!”

Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event. We'll head to nearby Shake No. 8 immediately following the show!

Tuesday, June 2nd, 5:00–8:30 PM Eastern
Central Ohio Chapter Meeting
IN PERSON IN COLUMBUS
How I Get Private Lenders and Partners to Fund My Deals
If you can’t fund it, you don’t have a deal.
And right now, funding is where more investors are getting stuck.
Private lenders are more cautious.
Partners are asking better questions.
And deals that look good on paper still fall apart when the money doesn’t show up.
That’s why we’re bringing in a panel of investors who are actually getting their deals funded right now.
You’ll hear how they’re finding money, structuring deals, and building relationships that lead to repeat funding.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
* Where they’re finding private lenders today
* How they start conversations that lead to funding
* What makes lenders and partners say YES
* How they structure deals to be fundable
* The biggest mistakes investors make when raising money
* How to build repeat funding relationships
**Early Session (6:00–7:00 PM Eastern):**
**Having Trouble Finding Tenants? How Community Shelter Board Can Help**
Nicholas Brenner will walk you through programs designed to help rapidly rehouse tenants, including financial support that can stabilize your rentals.
**The Deal Room (7:00–7:30 PM Eastern)**
Bring deals, funding needs, buyers, and problems.
This is where connections turn into action.
This meeting is for serious real estate investors nationwide, and we’re known for our high-content, real-life education and our nationwide community of dealmakers.
Members and non-members at all levels are welcome.
Register below to reserve your seat.
Remember, to actually reserve your seat, you have to go **[HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=In-Person-Columbus-Meeting-How-I-Get-Private-Lenders-and-Partners-to-Fund-My-Deals-14-6-2-2026)** and register on our website!
Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington.
The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.
Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine.
We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.
The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly.
Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome.
The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit.
Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times.
Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have.
Happy writing!
