**G.A.G. Night @ Ormsby's** **Games. Alcohol. Good People.** *(Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like.)* This isn't a "stand around holding a drink and asking what you do" kind of night. This is **G.A.G.** — **Games, Alcohol, Good People** — and it's one of those Atlanta Social nights people *talk about* after. If you've been meaning to attend an event, **this is the one.** If you've been once and haven't stopped thinking about it… **You already know.** Welcome to **Ormsby's**, one of Atlanta's most-loved hidden gems — part speakeasy, part playground for grown-ups who still know how to have fun. **What the Night Actually Feels Like** Picture this: * You walk in and immediately feel like you've shown up at the right place * Games are already going * Laughter is loud but not forced * Drinks are flowing * Nobody's awkwardly pretending to network This is where **connections happen naturally** — over bocce, darts, cocktails, and conversations that don't feel like interviews. **What Ormsby's Brings to the Table** **Food:** Gourmet sliders, artisanal sausages, truffle-parmesan fries — upscale comfort food that actually hits. **Drinks:** Craft beers (local favorites included) + cocktails made by bartenders who take their job *personally*. **Games (aka the real icebreakers):** 🎯 Bocce Ball 🎯 Darts 🎯 Classic bar games 🎯 Zero pressure, zero skill required, maximum fun 👉 **All games are FREE.** No cover. No gimmicks. **Why G.A.G. Night Is Different** This isn't just a meet-and-greet. It's not an agenda. It's not forced small talk. It's the night people say: ***"I almost didn't come… and I'm so glad I did."*** If you miss it, you'll hear about it later. If you come, you'll be in the photos. **PARKING** Parking Deck with 3-hour validation from Ormsby's (Ask the Bartender) **COVER** None — games are free. **ABOUT YOUR FOUNDER** Your founder for the night is **Cate Brown** — Atlanta local, connector of people, and professional vibe-checker.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).

Join us for a relaxed and welcoming evening of conversation at El Tesoro! This meetup is for Portuguese speakers of all levels—whether you're a native speaker or just practicing, you're more than welcome. We’re also overlapping with and sitting by the EAV Spanish Club Meetup group, so it’s a great opportunity to meet even more language lovers and enjoy the vibrant, multilingual atmosphere together. Come connect, practice your Portuguese, and enjoy good company (and maybe a margarita or two 😉)!

Join us on **Friday, June 12th at 7:00 PM** at **Kitty Dare** in **Inman Park** as we start in on ***The Guncle* by Steven Rowley**, covering **Chapters 1 through 15 (approximately 168 pages)**. Street parking nearby is usually easy to come by, so give yourself a couple of minutes to find a spot and walk over. Come hungry and ready to talk, and if you're running a little behind, don't sweat it, we'll save you a seat. Here's what we're getting into this month: Patrick O'Hara, known to his niece and nephew as GUP (Gay Uncle Patrick), is a once-famous sitcom actor who has mostly retreated into a quiet life out in Palm Springs. When his sister-in-law dies and his brother hits a crisis of his own, Patrick lands the unexpected job of caring for two young kids, Maisie and Grant, for the summer. He shows up armed with a set of "Guncle Rules" and not much hands-on parenting experience, which is roughly where things get interesting. Going by the publisher's description and the summaries floating around, this one keeps humor and grief in the same room rather than choosing between them, and our chapters cover the early stretch while everyone is still sorting out how the arrangement is going to work. The characters and the setup should give us plenty to get into on their own, and I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone makes of Patrick. **Learn more or get your copy:** * **Goodreads:** [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54508798-the-guncle](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54508798-the-guncle) * **Amazon:** [https://www.amazon.com/Guncle-Steven-Rowley/dp/0525542280](https://www.amazon.com/Guncle-Steven-Rowley/dp/0525542280) RSVP soon to reserve your spot!

If you are interested in being matched up with people who are interested in practicing your language or helping you with your language and receive help from you in another language, feel free to send me your email and I can share it with people who are interested in being paired up with you.
