ArtNight Pasadena happens in Spring and Fall. Moved to Spring. Will be out of town and can't host the meetup. HOWEVER . . . if you wish go and host . . . Message me!!! What will happen at ArtNight Pasadena? * Have a ton of fun. * See & experience some Arts 'n' Culture. * Have a great time socializing. **[CLICK HERE](https://www.cityofpasadena.net/artnight/) for what is on the Dance Card for the Evening. (from Fall 2023)** So here is how it works. There are many locations in multiple areas of the city. All with different exhibitions or temporary installations. It's a wider area than you can go on foot for the whole area. So there are shuttles on multiple routes that will loop the city. All this also provided for free and ticketless. **[CLICK HERE](https://www.cityofpasadena.net/artnight/shuttle-map/#all-routes) for the Shuttle Map (from Fall 2023)** There is MORE than you can see in one night. Meaning you will never be able to see everything. So it is best to curate your adventure. For this Meetup . . . We are taking the smart approach. Our Start Point (and end point) The Grdn. The Grdn is the informal and casual step-child of The Cellar, A Wine Library winebar in Pasadena. Yes. That is correct. We have reserved space to have drinks or a bite before, during or after. In other words . . . a home base. Meeting Point: **The Grdn (and The Cellar) are located at:** **26 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91105** The Cellar is . . .like the name implies . . . underground in the cellar. It's also super-fancy. Grdn will be more our speed. The ArtNight event goes from 6PM to 10PM. Our Meet-point will be The Grdn at 6PM. We will have a drink and socialize and then head out around 7:00PM The idea is get to Grdn. Say hello. More and more will arrive. And then head out in groups when ready. There are multiple options of what to do. If folks want to make own plans and head out . . . sure. No prob. I have created a more user friendly version of the locations for folks to use. It is sorted by the routes. And has the numbers that correspond to the map **[CLICK HERE](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gtN4XI9CdYirk2GDGnmK8292onsjwnCWV9aV4lbX1-4/edit?usp=sharing) for the simple digest** **For the main meetup** ***Our plan is to leave Grdn and go by foot to:*** 1. ***Armory Center For The Arts*** 2. ***Parson’s Nose Theater*** 3. ***Light Bringer Project At Dayone*** 4. ***Pasadena City Hall, Transportation Hub*** 5. ***Usc Pacific Asia Museum*** **The option will be for folks to catch shuttle route at either of those and then make it back to Grdn for the afterparty.** Or you can do the 1 thru 5 and make to Grdn for mellow social. Chances are some (or many) may just stay at GRDN the whole time. And Chances Are that others will arrive to Grdn after we have left and will keep the seats warm till we return. Either way . . . Grdn is expecting us and has space for us. **Parking?** Parking: parkOpedia.com ParkMe.com ParkingPanda.com SpotHero.com OR [https://www.cityofpasadena.net/transportation/parking-info/find-public-parking/#parking-lots-garages](https://www.cityofpasadena.net/transportation/parking-info/find-public-parking/#parking-lots-garages) To attend this event #1 **RSVP on this event with the red RSVP button** *AND THEN* #2 **[Fill out the event form](https://forms.gle/FW4aozDwU1ngkqVu6)**[ https://forms.gle/FW4aozDwU1ngkqVu6](https://forms.gle/FW4aozDwU1ngkqVu6) (spoiler alert: ***if you do not fill out the form you will not get accurate or updated event info)(Meetup messages is not reliable or efficient at getting out info.
