No Pressure Club: Bend

Let’s get creative! It’s fun for the brain. I’ll bring a bunch of markers, scissors, colored paper, and miscellaneous craft supplies I’ve collected like stickers, stamps, glue dots. You can make a bookmark, a card I can donate to Caring Connections (I can explain in person), or any random art or crafts you find interesting. If you have other hobbies you’d rather do, bring the supplies you want, a book, or your laptop etc. We just need to leave the room as clean as we found it.

I’ll have chill yet happy music on in the background so people can focus or talk. Stay the whole time, come late, or leave early. No expectations here. I’ll likely be making some crafts and/or doing a word search.

I’ll have the bracelets: ❤️ if you want to be quiet or not engage in a full convo, 💚 if you’re in the mood to find other social creatures. This room caps at 12 people. Please edit your rsvp so other people have a chance to make it if spaces fill up. Excited to see you there if this is your vibe!

Central Library
Meeting 2 on the 3rd floor

Modern Games has a $5 fee. They have a huge library full of different games for us to choose from! We’ll peruse the game library, break up into smaller groups, and pick some games. The staff is willing and able to teach any games if needed.

You’re welcome to switch up the groups and games, so you can meet different people and play something that suits you. Feel free to pop over to another group if they have room and it’s an easy entry. You have to pay to hang out, but you can just watch and not play. You can bring your own games in too if you have any you love. I’ll likely be playing the more brainless games with just a bit of strategy and competition.

They have beer, hot cocoa, cider, kombucha and some snacks like popcorn and beef jerky for purchase. You can buy games or puzzles up front too. There is free Box Factory parking— scan the app on their sign near their checkout to validate your parking so you don’t get a ticket. They’re open until 10 pm so people are welcome to stay later if the vibe is there.

I’ll have the 💚/❤️bracelets at the table near me. Flip it to green if you’re open to being social, twist it to red if you’re feeling quiet. Find me if I don’t find you first, introduce yourself, and grab one.

*If you’re shy in crowds and the attendee limit scares you, don’t be intimidated. People often flake, so this creates more opportunity for others to join a space where there’s enough room either way. There’s always a chance everyone will show up or only a few will sign up, but we won’t all be hanging out together anyway. Excited to see you there!
