Something a little different for a Sunday morning, how about brunch with some live music? This time, on the 26th, it's bluegrass! Commonwealth Brewing has been a Fairfax staple since they opened a couple of years back. If you're not in a chatting mood, they have a few board games as well you can grab and play at your table, or feel free to bring your own! This place does get packed out starting around 12, and is very family-friendly. I'll be there by 10:30 the latest to at least snag one bench, but if we overflow, everyone is welcome to sprout off and sit at any other tables/benches available (as long as they aren't reserved). Each table has its own QR code for you to place food orders on, so just keep that in mind if you move tables after ordering! **Location details:** Commonwealth Brewing FFX 10426 Main St Fairfax, VA 22030 🍽️ **Food,** **Coffee & Drinks:** They have a special brunch menu on Sundays, and they do pizzas and some sandwiches as well if you don't fancy some breakfast. Don't drink beer? They have cocktails and seltzers on tap as well as a house wine. Don't drink at all? They have a full coffee bar open until 4:30pm, so there's something for everyone!

Blend has always been one of my favorite local cafes - I’m shocked that I haven’t scheduled an event here yet tbh. They feature coffee from Lone Oak, roasters out of Winchester. They have plenty of outdoor seating and a decent selection of syrups for flavoring drinks, as well as pastries and other menu options. Join me, and give me your review - I’d love to hear what you think. (Please keep your RSVP updated if you know you won't be able to attend, so others who want to join have the opportunity to do so.

After hosting successful events, I always think that we could have done better and relate it to our day to day life and make it educational. In this connection, I wanted to show off my investment and trade hat and organize series of Happy Hours around Investment & Trade. We will have speakers from different sectors and industries, at each Happy Hour. At this particular event, the speakers will discuss Retirement Saving (With An Overview of Interest Rate & Housing Market). Topics will include: • Today’s retirement savings challenges and approaches • Sources of income in retirement • Proper investment strategies • Current interest rate environment and what to expect going forward • State of the housing market The address will be sent to members, who RSVPed, before the Event. Enjoy!

I'm going to start a series where I venture out and check out new bars I've never been to, based on their Happy Hour specials and hours. If you're feeling like checking out a new spot, join us! First adventure: Inca Social in Rosslyn. Come for the happy hour, stay for the alpaca ambiance. Inca Social has been a staple of Rosslyn for years, offering a Happy Hour at the bar from 3-7pm. Bar area inside is full? No problem! The bar also spills out into the outdoor seating area, so you can go outside with a drink and enjoy the outdoors as well! **🚗Location + details:** 1776 Wilson Blvd Unit 1 Arlington, VA 22209 **Happy Hour 3-7pm** **HH Food/Drink Menu (On Page 4):** [Inca Social Menu](https://incasocial.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/inca_social_6_23_26.pdf) \#\#\# 🅿️**Parking:** Most streets in the area have Park Mobile for curb parking.

We'll send you an e-mail with the Zoom link a few minutes after you purchase a ticket (and we'll also send it again the day of the event)-- please check both your “spam” AND “junk” folders if you don't see it!###** You may expect this event to run from **7:00-8:15pm ET/ 6:00 - 7:15 pm CT/ 5:00 - 6:15 pm MT/ 4:00 - 5:15 pm PT. Please be aware of time zone differences.** These Zoom events are designed based in psychology research to give you all the warm fuzzy feelings of human closeness, without that feeling of Zoom-fatigue afterward. We use question prompts and a structure designed based in psychology research to help you get vulnerable with strangers in a way that actually feels safe, and that brings out the best in people. All our events are trauma-informed and facilitated by folks with therapeutic training. According to our surveys, a lot of our guests report feeling nervous about coming, but 100% of the people who say they were nervous also end up saying they were glad they came. There might be some selection bias going on, but we still think it's promising :) We even had an academic paper come out about our online events showing that they improve mood and reduce loneliness! Check that out [here](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5827683e6a49634bd84b79f4/t/614cfad6e033d105a07cc40f/1632434903586/preprint-28002-submitted.pdf). **What's it like?** The whole thing is on Zoom. We'll put you into pairs in breakout rooms, and you'll switch partners so you're not just talking to the same person the whole night. We'll give you question prompts to spark conversations to make sure you're getting the most out of your conversations. Some examples of our research-backed prompts are, "What's something you're proud of that you don't usually get to share with people?" And, "What's something I would need to know about you in order to be friends with you?" But if you hate our prompts, you'll always be invited to make up your own or talk about whatever feels right. **What do people say about it?** Here's some stuff people have told us (unprompted!) about the online Skip the Small Talks: "I was surprised at how good this was! I'll definitely be coming back!" "This has turned into my weekly self-care-- going to this event every week is something kind I do for myself to stay sane." "I'm an introvert, and to be honest, I even think of myself as someone who generally hates other people, but I actually feel energized after Skip the Small Talk online. For some reason, I feel Zoom fatigue in pretty much every other online interaction, but I'm usually, like, giddy after these." **Ready to Skip the Small Talk with us?** You can grab a ticket **[here]([https://www.skipthesmalltalk.com/store/skip-the-small-talk-night-online-thursday-july-23-2026])**. **Please do your best to arrive a couple minutes before 7pm ET/ 6pm CT/ 5pm MT/ 4pm PT** if you haven't been to one of these before so you don't miss the intro, but feel free to come late if you need to-- you'll still be able to participate just fine! If you've come to an online Skip the Small Talk before and would rather skip the intro, feel free to come at 7:10 pm ET/ 6:10 CT/ 5:10 MT/ 4:10 PT. Skip the Small Talk is dedicated to providing an inclusive, welcoming environment for everyone.

Join us for some Team Trivia on Ludio! We run the best Trivia nights ever :D Ludio ([https://ludio.gg](https://ludio.gg)) is a videoconferencing platform with games built directly into it. Our Team Trivia features 5 categories - the players who show up will veto 2 of them, leaving 3 categories for the game. Teams get shuffled after each category so that you get to play with as many people as possible, and a winner (or multiple winners) are crowned after each round. The game takes about 45-60 minutes; after the Trivia is over, we keep playing other lighthearted games with whoever sticks around. If you’re looking for a more traditional Bar Trivia where you come with a team/stick to the same team for the whole game, we do those once a month for our regulars. Join our Discord ([https://discord.gg/baPBbgQgBH](https://discord.gg/baPBbgQgBH)) and ask about Bar Trivia to learn more! We advertise this event in multiple groups and many of our regulars don’t RSVP anymore. RSVPs are not indicative of how many people will show up - we get a consistent turnout of at least 15 people. Requirements: * You will need a computer OR a tablet (no phones, sorry) * You need a Chromium-based browser on your computer (e.g. Google Chrome) * You will need a webcam and microphone to participate in the games
