What we’re about
This group is open to anyone, singled, coupled, or married. Anything is Possible will feature social and entertainment events that have to do with …..anything! The events can be dinners, movies, classes, parties, tastings, lectures, happy hours, etc. You name it, we might do it.
Membership in this group will be limited to non-MAGA individuals only! You can be any political affiliation (Dem, old fashion Repub, Ind), just not the FAR-RIGHT crazy-MAGA type of person.
Also, since I strongly believe that you are the company you keep, YOU ARE NOT WELCOME IN THIS GROUP IF YOU:
· are a member of Q-anon, the Proud boys or the boogaloo movement
· own a tin foil hat
· believe the earth is flat
· believe that the election was stolen from Donald Trump
· believe that there is a microchip in the COVID vaccine that will be used to track your every move.
· believe that covid-19 is not real and a hoax
· believe that the Democrats are running a child trafficking ring out of the basement of a pizzeria in Washington DC (pizzagate)
· believe that the Clintons torture children and drink their blood to obtain a chemical that will extend their live
· believe that Democrats eat babies
· believe that school shootings are fake and the students are actors
· believe that Jewish space lasers cause forest fires in California
********************************
RULES FOR THE GROUP
· You must have a picture that includes your face.
· For any event where I have to make a group reservation (dinners), you must cancel within 36 hours of the event if you cannot attend. Failure to do so without an acceptable reason to me will result in your removal from the group. Please do not comment on the event that you cannot make it. It is not helpful and tends to make other people cancel on the event also.
· You are responsible for paying your bills at any event.
· You are responsible for transportation to and from the event. There will not be any official carpooling set up by any host. Since there is no official vetting of members of this group, please do not carpool with complete strangers by asking for rides from someone you have never met.
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Cinema Club: SPIRITED AWAY at the Michigan TheaterMichigan Theater, Ann Arbor, MI
It is rare that I post a matinee Cinema Club, let alone Anime. This movie just came up as #9 on the Best movies of the 21st Century in the NYTimes (See article ) so I now I must see it. The Michigan theater plays a series of ANIME films every summer and I have never gone. This will be my first..
This is in the screening room. No assigned seating. Movie starts at 1;30pm.
SPIRITED AWAY
During her family's move to the suburbs, a sullen 10-year-old girl wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches and spirits, and where humans are changed into beasts.
Hayao Miyazaki’s hand-drawn fairy tale of adolescence is the “Alice in Wonderland” of our age. Unforgettable characters keep spilling out of an abandoned magical bathhouse — the boilerman and his soot sprites, the masked spirit No-Face, Haku the boy-dragon and, navigating it all, brave Chihiro, whose clueless parents have been turned into pigs by a witch. Beautifully uniting the master animator’s preoccupations — man’s corruption of nature, the loss of innocence, intimidating creatures who aren’t what they seem — “Spirited Away” is a spellbinding adventure with few peers in animation or elsewhere.Film | Anime | PG | 2h 4m | Japanese | 2001

FYI only-No host (I have a concert the same night)
Monday Bird Migration Evenings at Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Monday, September 8 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pmAnyone want to join me for this? This event is from the Washtenaw Bird and Nature Alliance
******************************************
Join us for a walk through the trails at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens to look and listen for birds during their migration. This leisurely stroll will wind through the woods on the Botanical Gardens’ well-maintained dirt paths and will involve ~2 miles of walking or less.The pond often hosts waterfowl and shorebirds, and the trails will take us through excellent habitat to look for warblers, thrushes, flycatchers, the occasional cuckoo, and other birds that briefly pass through Washtenaw County (and we’ll be sure to take notice of our local birds, too!).
All are welcome to attend, and please note that it is perfectly appropriate to attend for only a portion of the walk and depart as needed. New birders are especially encouraged to come along—the very best way to learn more about birds and birding is to spend time in the field. Please join us!
Visit Matthaei’s eBird hotspot page to see what species have been recently seen at the Botanical Gardens.
Leader: James Weir and guest
Directions: Meet in front of the main entrance to the Matthaei Botanical Gardens building at 1800 N. Dixboro Rd.eBird Checklist Signup: If you are attending the walk and would like the eBird checklist shared with you, please give us your email or eBird username here (you may do this onsite well): tinyurl.com/eBirdList
All are welcome and encouraged to join us. New to birding? Bird curious? No binoculars? No problem! There is no better way to learn than to get out in the field with experienced birders that love to help. Plus, you get to meet awesome people. Absolutely everyone is welcome and encouraged to come out. We will have many pairs of quality binoculars on hand for anyone to use.
