Ping Pong and more

THIS EVENT IS FOR ADULTS (18+)
NO EXCEPTIONS

📍 LOCATION ANNOUCEMENT
We usually meet at Burton Barr library, but their rooms are not open for reservation now. We will still meet at Burton Barr at library entrance. But at 2:30 we will walk to The Pemberton. This is a 5 minute walk through the court yard and park. You can also meet us at Pemberton about 2:45. At Pemberton I believe we can find a cozy spot to hang for awhile.

🎮 What to Bring

• Your own Nintendo Switch
• Your own games (updates installed beforehand)

Let’s get off the couch and connect in real life! This isn’t just about gaming—it’s about building a real community. We’ll laugh, play, and support one another while bonding over something we all enjoy: video games! Friendships here matter just as much as high scores.

We’ll start with a few Nintendo Switch favorites that most people can jump right into:

• Mario Kart 8
• Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
• Crazy co-op titles depending on how many people show

No pressure to be a pro. Whether you’ve played for 20 minutes or 200 hours, you’ll fit right in. The goal is fun and friendship, not competition.

✅ Ground Rules

• Safe space: kindness and respect first.
• Show up if you RSVP—limited space means your seat matters.
• No event fee. Donations via Meetup are welcome to help cover group costs.
• Please support the venue, it’s a really cool place!

🎉 Join us for our Saturday Ping Pong Meetup! 🏓
Grab a paddle, bring your game face, and come hang out with a great group of people for an afternoon of fun and friendly competition. We play for fun mostly but if you are competitive I am sure we have someone to challenge you.
⏰ Timing matters (thank you!)
Please plan to arrive near the start time, not just the last 10–15 minutes. These meetups are generously hosted by volunteers who are giving their free time to make this happen—and we truly appreciate everyone helping make it worthwhile.
👋 Check in with the Organizer ( of the meetup)
When you arrive, be sure to say hello to the Organizer (of the meetup) and let them know you’re there. We’re starting to keep track of attendance, and repeat no-shows without notification may be removed so we can keep things fair for everyone.
🎯 What the venue offers:

• 4 ping pong tables
• Cornhole area with space for 4 games
• Shuffleboard & foosball
• Great food, excellent service, and an awesome community vibe

We’re excited to play, laugh, and hang out with you—see you there! 🙌

Things to know:

1. Street parking usually fills up and be careful for residential permit zones.
2. Valet parking is free, don't forget to tip!
3. Paddles, balls, and bean bags can be checked out from the host station if you drop off an ID.
4. Please buy something to support the venue.
5. The event has no set end time but 2 hours is a safe bet for solid play, although there are always people hanging out afterwards.

Hope to see you there!

Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk

Chuck Palahniuk showed himself to be his generation’s most visionary satirist in this, his first book. Fight Club’s estranged narrator leaves his lackluster job when he comes under the thrall of Tyler Durden, an enigmatic young man who holds secret after-hours boxing matches in the basement of bars. There, two men fight "as long as they have to." This is a gloriously original work that exposes the darkness at the core of our modern world.
