Just Start

*This club is for founders, VCs, operators, and startup ecosystem players — past, present, and future.* ​ Padel is one of those games you can pick up at any point in your life and immediately enjoy. You don't need to be fit, you don't need a background in racket sports, you just need to show up. The court is small enough that nothing feels out of reach, and the glass walls do half the work for you. ​What makes it special is that you actually talk while you play. Between points, during rallies, after a shot that somehow worked — there's a natural rhythm to padel that makes conversation easy. You get to know your partner in a way that just doesn't happen sitting across a table. ​We had a rally once that went on so long everyone stopped caring who won the point. That's kind of the spirit of the whole thing. ​ **🎯 What to Expect** ​**Two courts, at least 8 players** — we rotate and run mini-tournaments when numbers allow. All levels, always. ​ **Real conversations** — with your partner, between points, after the game. No agenda. ​**Competitive but Chill** — good plays, better laughs, and a rematch culture. 🔄 ​**💸 €15 per person** — pay before the game: [paypal.me/alexbing2](paypal.me/alexbing2) Paying upfront keeps the courts full and the group reliable. No last-minute ghosts. Arrive 15 minutes early to warm up and meet people. ​ **⚠️ Cancellation Policy** Cancel at least 2 days before if you can't make it — someone on the waiting list will be very happy to take your spot. No-shows without notice lose their €15 deposit and get moved to the waiting list for future events. p.s. If you don't see so many players registered on Meetup, you can check another channel - Luma [https://luma.com/7mpaamku](https://luma.com/7mpaamku)

✨ **Trama in breve** Gea ha ventisette anni e vive sui Navigli di Milano, in un piccolo mondo tutto suo da cui raramente si allontana. In un’epoca che corre veloce e guarda lontano, lei sceglie di restare vicino: aggiusta oggetti, li rimette in circolo, lascia in giro poesie e piccoli messaggi, convinta che ogni cosa possa avere una seconda possibilità. Circondata da personaggi fuori dal comune – e decisamente lontani dalla sua età – Gea sembra sospesa, come se non trovasse davvero il suo posto nel mondo. Forse anche a causa di un passato ingombrante e di paure che non è mai riuscita a sistemare, proprio lei che ripara tutto. Quando una vecchia bottega di rigattiere, il “Nuovo mondo”, rischia di sparire per sempre, Gea decide di fare qualcosa: salvarla. Quella missione diventa molto più di un gesto concreto — è l’occasione per affrontare sé stessa, immaginare un futuro diverso e, forse, iniziare finalmente a vivere davvero. Perché a volte, ciò che proviamo a salvare… finisce per salvare noi. 💬 **Cosa faremo insieme?** * Condivideremo i passaggi che ci hanno colpito di più * Parleremo di Gea: la capiamo? la critichiamo? la abbracciamo? 😄 * Scopriremo somiglianze e differenze tra lei e noi ❓ **Spunti per la discussione:** * Ti sei sentita rappresentata da Gea? * In quali aspetti ti riconosci? * Dove invece senti distanza dal suo modo di affrontare la vita? Non è necessario aver letto il libro per partecipare né condividere le proprie opinioni. Puoi acquistare il libro oppure prenderlo in prestito in biblioteca. 📍 **Dove:** Laghetto Parco nord Via Ornato– Milano, porta un telo perché staremo sul prato. 💸 **Contributo:** 5€ da inviare con paypal o satispay ☕ Consumazioni extra a carico di ciascun partecipante da poter prendere al bar "Sun Strac" sia durante l'evento sia dopo per chi avesse piacere di fermarsi. Un incontro leggero, senza pressioni, pieno di storie, punti di vista e magari anche qualche piccola “cosa che ci salva”. 💛 In caso di maltempo 🌧☂ l'evento verrà rinviato. gruppo whatsapp [https://chat.whatsapp.com/JPeImG8EK1P82157K4izWP?mode=gi_t](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JPeImG8EK1P82157K4izWP?mode=gi_t)

American Idiot is a hilarious, high-energy journey through the mind of an American living in Europe. More specifically, through the mind of an American Idiot. In this self-deprecating, chaotic, and completely unfiltered comedy showcase, Edy takes the audience on a wild ride through his personal experience of life in Italy, cultural misunderstandings, the madness of the modern world, and the deeply questionable decisions that have shaped his love life, work life, and family life. Nothing is off limits. Not even his dignity. With sharp social commentary, manic storytelling, and a brutally honest look at the American experience abroad, American Idiot is both introspective and absurd, personal and universal, concerning and hilarious. Edy “U-The-Man” has performed in cities across Europe, including Barcelona, Madrid, Lisbon, Paris, Malta, Berlin, and several cities throughout Italy. As the organizer and MC of Divine Comedy Club Milano, he has helped build one of Milan’s first English-language comedy clubs, bringing together local and international comedians in the city’s growing stand-up scene. Divine Comedy Club Milano is a community of local and expat comedians performing English-language comedy in Milan.

Join us on Saturday 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 10AM on Saturday mornings. 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.

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. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) 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.

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!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8! Ranked the #1 Ice Cream Shop in Columbus in 2024, this is the perfect place to kick off our Summer of Ice Cream and grab a sweet treat after the show! Their menu features an array of traditional, specialty and vegan shakes, hot cocoa, and more! You can check out their full menu here: [https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php](https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php) PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 20 minutes before the show.

We'll head to nearby Shake No. 8 immediately following the show! Should be a fun one, Dan

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!

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.
