Join me for casual drinks and conversations, and a couple rounds of trivia. This is an event where people from around the neighborhood just meet and talk. Talk about your day, talk about your life, talk about the weather, talk about your hobbies. Anything and everything is welcome! Then, at 8pm, we can join the rest of the bar in a round of Trivia where we can test our repitoire of all-important knowledge. Hopefully we can make meaningful connections and turn strangers into friends.

HOW IT WORKS: You can attend via a computer & Webcam or Smartphone/Ipad/Tablet. This completely online event will be LIVE and you will be able to see and hear the other participants while playing.

Your goal is to come up with the right answer to each question and write it down on your paper. Once the round is over (about 6 questions), we will go through the answers and determine who had the highest score for the round. They will get a raffle ticket for a chance to win a prize at the end of the event. We will have multiple rounds of play and have a system to also virtually introduce you to other participants. HOW DO YOU FIND THE VIRTUAL ROOM: After you purchase your ticket, you will get a confirmation with the zoom link ON DAY OF THE EVENT. RSVPS ON HERE ARE NOT REFLECTIVE OF ACTUAL ATTENDANCE as this is a multi group event. **\*TO ATTEND REGISTER AT - [https://www.socialevents123.com/event-details.aspx?id=13686#tix](https://www.socialevents123.com/event-details.aspx?id=13686#tix)** Cost: $15- $20 depending on how early you register.

Folks in this Meetup group get **10% off**! Use code: **MEETUP** at checkout. **What's It Like?** Do you wish you could have more of the kinds of conversations you have late at night where for some reason, you feel safe talking about the things you actually care about? Bring your friends (or come by yourself- most people do!) and spend your Tuesday night at an event where you know everyone else is there for the same reason. We'll be offering 'big talk' conversational prompts on them to get you started, and we'll have lots of structure to make sure that you actually talk to people and that it's not awkward.

A public service announcement 📢 RSVP here so you get a reminder to move your clocks BACK one hour! 🕒>> 🕑 FALL BACK one hour! Daylight Saving Time ENDS at 2:00:00 am clocks are turned BACK 1 hour to Sunday, 1:00:00 am local. Sunrise 🌅 and sunset will be about 1 hour earlier than the day before. There will be more light in the morning. Also called FALL BACK. Change your smoke detector batteries 🔋 too! **The location listed is just for fun.** **Of course you may change your clocks ⏰ wherever you may be.** **Borrowed from another cool group...

Two Florida Republicans introduced the [Sunshine Protection Act of 2023](https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/1279) in March to make daylight saving time permanent after the proposal faltered in the last Congress, but so far the bill hasn't made any significant inroads, all but guaranteeing that most Americans will have another year of changing their clocks. ![Howie Brown adjusts the time on a clock back one hour for the end of daylight saving time at Brown's Old Time Clock Shop, Nov. 2, 2007, in Plantation, Florida.](https://assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2023/09/19/d67f2ff3-6046-40e9-83de-fdd033b7ed87/thumbnail/620x413/34a707a688bdd6d0717c324be75fd8b6/gettyimages-77656601.jpg?v=8e14bdb7e67d007af3399b47230d2245#)Howie Brown adjusts the time on a clock back one hour for the end of daylight saving time at Brown's Old Time Clock Shop, Nov. 2, 2007, in Plantation, Florida.JOE RAEDLE/GETTY IMAGES Before this latest attempt to alter the biannual ritual started on Capitol Hill, "falling back" and "springing forward" caused considerable consternation amongst Americans. Parents who want their children to head to school [in the daylight](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/daylight-saving-time-ends-standard-time/) can appreciate "falling back" to standard time, but those who want the sun to shine long enough to play in the park after classes may want to keep daylight saving time year-round. Permanently keeping one over the other means people won't have their sleeping schedules [disrupted twice a year](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/daylight-saving-time-sleep-tips/). In 2022, a [CBS News/YouGov poll](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/more-americans-prefer-daylight-savings-to-standard-time-cbs-news-poll/) found 46% of Americans supported having daylight saving time year-round while 33% wanted to make standard time permanent. Just over a fifth of Americans, 21%, preferred keeping things the way they are. Nineteen states have already[ passed legislation](https://www.ncsl.org/transportation/daylight-saving-time-state-legislation) to stay on daylight saving time permanently if Congress would let them. location is for fun, obviously you change your clocks wherever you are lol
