DC Comedy Loft, 1523 22nd Street NW, Washington, DC, US
TICKET LINK: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tits-academic-a-highly-educational-burlesque-and-variety-revue-tickets-1962666892509

GA tickets are available for $20, as well as "AP Seating" tickets for $40, which literally give you advanced placement in the first rows, as well as academic swag for your educational pleasure.

Beaver and Buttstuff’s SPRUNG semester begins with (T)It’s Academic! | A Highly Educational Burlesque and Variety Revue!

Join Professors Emeriti Callie and Delilah during their “extended office hours” to “review” for your “midterms”, with a highly-esteemed cast of “guest lecturers” covering all of the lessons you slept through the first time around.

Whether you were valedictorian, prom queen, a Model-UN nerd, or all three because you peaked in high school (not judging!), this is the show for you.

And don’t worry, we promise we won’t assign a group project.

Puzzled Pint DC/Arlington
Tue, Apr 14 · 7:00 PM EDT
Clarendon, 3100 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, VA, US
What can be a more geeky night out than spending an evening solving puzzles in a pub, especially after a pandemic? Yes, Puzzled Pint is returning to being in-person! See www.puzzledpint.com

This free event works like this: On the website puzzledpint.com is a puzzle. Solve it and find out where we'll be puzzling on Tuesday -- it'll be at a pub near a metro station. Go there and do free puzzle sets! The puzzle sets are meant for teams of three or four people -- if you don't have a team and want one, you can form a team here on Meetup, or the kind Puzzled Pint people will likely help.

Some notes:
-- These are "puzzle hunt" style puzzles, which have an interesting style of their own. If you are new to this kind of puzzle, DON'T PANIC when you first see the location puzzle, and don't hesitate to get hints. After all, the point is to have fun, not be frustrated!
-- Also, for new people, a basic guide is available here:
http://www.puzzledpint.com/files/3513/8254/7894/2013_10_22_Puzzling_Basics_Infographic.pdf
-- Note that this event isn’t hosted by GNO, but by Puzzled Pint. Feel free to post here to form groups etc, but don’t expect the kind Puzzled Pint Organizers to have read any messages here.
-- If people come late, they can either form their own group, or join a pre-existing group. However, since the event is designed for groups of 3 or 4 people, forming a new group will probably work out better. The 7:00 time is just when they start handing out the puzzles -- if your group wants to start later, that'll be fine
