For this Special Virtual Documentary Night, in honor of Women's History Month, we are meeting to talk about the documentary, Nobuko Miyamoto: A Song in Movement. A documentary following the life of visionary musician, dancer and activist Nobuko Miyamoto. Featuring rare archival footage, the film tells the story of a changing community through one of its most beloved storytellers as she reflects on decades of groundbreaking cultural work and a life that has bridged coasts, industries, families and history. Nobuko Miyamoto and Co-Director Quyên Nguyen-Le will be joining us for a special guest Q&A!

This event is posted in multiple meetup groups, and on Eventbrite, as well as with members of the Community Documentary Night email list. (Message me if interested in joining the email list) Therefore, THIS RSVP LIST IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE ATTENDING THE EVENT. So even if you only see one person RSVPed in this meetup group, there will always be others in attendance from other groups. We tend to have at least 20 on average. By inviting numerous groups that increases the likelihood that those in attendance will be from varying backgrounds and beliefs. This is done purposefully to provide everyone with the opportunity to hear a wide range of perspectives.

This event is open to all who are open to all. The one thing we ask is that people allow others to get their full thought out and that any disagreement is voiced in a civil way. Check out the Community Documentary Night website for more info or links to previously shown documentaries.

Thank you and hope to see you there!

Trivia Monday at Keegan's in WOODSTOCK

Mon, Mar 2 · 7:30 PM EST

Keegan's Public House, 1085 Buckhead Crossing Suite 140, Woodstock, GA, US

2/23/26 Recap: First Place and a Beer! Missing a six-pointer on the spider's vocabulary in Charlotte's Web didn't keep us from leading going into the final. After discerning that Doechii won the Grammy for Best Music Video this year, and not Best Dance Pop Recording, we took gold, ummm, first place again!

And here's the Doechii video in question. It's no Money For Nothing, Once in a Lifetime, or Sledge Hammer, but whoever votes for these things said she was the best last year, so who am I to argue? Doechii - Anxiety

ALL: Do not let the waitlist discourage you from signing up. People often have to cancel at the last minute. When that happens, you move up the list and often spots will open as soon as an hour before the game starts.

For any of you Needles out there who've wanted to join us for trivia night but wanted it closer to the 575, this is for you!

The game starts at 7:30, but the reservations are for 6:45 in case you want to arrive earlier to order food and drinks, kibbitz, or strategize about how we will crush our enemies on the trivia field. (Trivia court? Trivia pitch?)

Let's get some new faces and some old faces, or new old faces or old new faces, whatever it takes.
