Ciao amici! Our meetup in Rome brings together friendly faces every Saturday at 7:30 PM. [[Click this WhatsApp groupchat link to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FzXKIQUFy6e0iG24XlTQUJ) ] We're mostly in our 20s and 30s, and we love a good chat Travelers, expats, and locals blend into a community that speaks all languages — especially kindness.

Nella vita di ogni persona accadono delle coincidenze particolari. Questo evento si rivolge a coloro che sono curiosi di conoscere storie di coincidenze affascinanti e spesso miracolose. Avremo a disposizione dei libri che raccolgono decine di storie VERE di coincidenze. Sceglierò per voi le più belle. Tranquilli, nessuna noia: si leggono in tre minuti ciascuna! E le risate sono assicurate. Anche io racconterò le mie esperienze (non a caso ne sono molto appassionato) e daro' alcuni suggerimenti per avere qualche vantaggio. Ogni partecipante se vuole potrà farlo. L 'evento non ha scopo né di lucro né di vendita libri. Di solito possiamo occupare gratuitamente il tavolo della caffetteria; a volte basta consumare un semplice caffè. ( * Può sembrare una iniziativa strana, ma già anni fa il direttore di rai notte Gabriele La Porta raccoglieva le esperienze dei telespettatori, molte delle quali ha poi pubblicato in un libro).

Golden Hour meetup! in colosseum! Make Friends in Rome!

## Whatsapp group https://chat.whatsapp.com/EcNvCIJkBYX44Q18qYie01?mode=gi_t Ever wished you could explore Rome while actually meeting people, not just walking past them? This is a **social breakfast and walk hosted by a local**, created for travelers, expats, and anyone curious about experiencing Rome in a relaxed, human way. We meet over breakfast, get to know each other, then wander through the city together, letting conversation and curiosity guide the walk. This is **not a guided tour** and there’s no fixed route. Think of it as exploring Rome with new friends rather than following an itinerary. ### What we'll do * Meet for an Italian breakfast and casual introductions * Take an easy social walk through central Rome ( Piazza del Popolo- Spagna- Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, Pantheon and Castel Sant'Angelo) * Pause at a few spots to chat, take photos, and mingle * End near the Vatican City, with the option to continue to lunch together ### What’s included * Breakfast of your choice (drink + pastry) * A small traditional snack during the walk * A relaxed, small-group experience * Hosted in English by a local, with everyone free to speak any language ### Optional tip At the end of the walk, there will be an **optional tip or donation** for the host. This is never expected, but always appreciated if you enjoyed the experience and helps us cover the cost of organizing these walks. ### Important: how to join FREE TO JOIN Once registered, you’ll save your spot and also you can join our Whatsapp group linked above If you enjoy slow walks, good conversation, and meeting people from around the world, this event is for you

[italiano sotto] Let’s switch up the scenery! After a long work week staring at our screens, it’s time to get some fresh air, log off, and soak up the Roman spring sun (I looked at the weather - it should be sunny!) ☀️ Join us on Saturday, April 18th for a relaxed outdoor picnic at Parco degli Acquedotti! This is the perfect chance to chill out, enjoy the beautiful aqueduct views, and connect with other digital nomads, remote workers, and locals in a completely different setting. **🥖 How it works (Potluck Style!):** To keep things simple and communal, we are doing this potluck style! We ask that everyone brings something to eat or drink to share with the group so we can create a massive feast. * **Drinks:** Grab a bottle of wine, some cold beers, or juice. * **Food:** Bring some easy-to-share snacks like chips, pizza al taglio, focaccia, cheese, or fruit. * **Essentials:** If you have a picnic blanket or a portable speaker, definitely bring it along! **📍 The Details:** * **Where:** Parco degli Acquedotti * **When:** Saturday, April 18th * **Time:** From 3:00 PM (15:00) onwards **Finding us:** Parks can be big! I will share a live location pin in our [WhatsApp community](https://chat.whatsapp.com/EJlhZNnJCUADruVOIeb4Vp?mode=gi_t) chat on Saturday afternoon so you can easily find exactly where we are sitting. Feel free to bring a friend, but please make sure everyone hits **RSVP** so we know how big of a spot to claim in the grass! See you in the park! 🍷🌿 Cambiamo aria! Dopo una lunga settimana di lavoro passata a fissare gli schermi, è ora di prendere una boccata d'aria fresca, disconnettersi e godersi il sole primaverile romano (ho guardato le previsioni, dovrebbe esserci il sole!) ☀️ Unitevi a noi sabato 18 aprile per un picnic rilassante all'aperto al Parco degli Acquedotti! È l'occasione perfetta per fare un po' di *chill*, godersi la bellissima vista sugli acquedotti e conoscere altri nomadi digitali, remote worker e local in un'atmosfera completamente diversa. 🥖 **Come funziona (Stile "Potluck" / Ognuno porta qualcosa!):** Per mantenere le cose semplici e conviviali, lo faremo in stile "potluck"! Chiediamo a tutti di portare qualcosa da mangiare o da bere da condividere con il gruppo, così da creare un banchetto enorme. * **Da bere:** Prendete una bottiglia di vino, delle birre fresche o dei succhi di frutta. * **Cibo:** Portate stuzzichini facili da condividere come patatine, pizza al taglio, focaccia, formaggio o frutta. * **Indispensabili:** Se avete un telo da picnic o una cassa bluetooth per la musica, portateli assolutamente! 📍 **I Dettagli:** * **Dove:** Parco degli Acquedotti * **Quando:** Sabato 18 aprile * **Orario:** Dalle 15:00 in poi * **Come trovarci:** I parchi sono grandi! Sabato pomeriggio condividerò la posizione in tempo reale (live location) nella nostra chat della [community su WhatsApp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/EJlhZNnJCUADruVOIeb4Vp?mode=gi_t), così potrete trovare facilmente il nostro posto. Sentitevi liberi di portare amici, ma vi prego di far confermare a tutti la presenza (RSVP) così sappiamo quanto spazio occupare sul prato! Ci vediamo al parco! 🍷🌿

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

**Caller: Richard Ades** **Band: The McKenzies** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
