Renaissance Faire

Hello, fellow car enthusiasts! The first event of the year for the new season will take place on April. Let's meet on the usual spot on 3rd floor (2nd floor if it rains) of the **Parking on the back side of Belle Ettoile.** Location: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/GDA5tbVxiFEMWqM59](https://maps.app.goo.gl/GDA5tbVxiFEMWqM59) Date and time: **Friday 17/04/2026 at 17.00.** Then, if we want, we can go for a coffee in the G.A.N.G. The purpose of this event is to bring together car enthusiasts to talk and show off vehicles, meet people, have a good time, and share tips. What to bring: A car, a friend perhaps and a positive attitude :) 🥤 Soft drinks will be provided Rules: Please be respectful of others and their vehicles. No reckless or dangerous driving will be tolerated. Please also be mindful of the parking rules and regulations.

The IMANY live concert seems to be a perfect reason to head towards Mondorf. An even better idea is to start the evening with a quick dinner in a good company, rather than just showing up for the concert. The plan is simple: meet over dinner, get to know each other in a relaxed setting, and then head to the concert together. And just to clarify: we’re not going there to gamble all night 😄 The goal is simply to enjoy a good dinner, great company, and IMANY’s beautiful voice. Agenda: The "table & talk" part of the event will take place at Purple Lounge at 19:00. It is a not-so-fancy restaurant inside Casino 2000. Full disclosure: I haven’t been there myself yet, but the menu looks convincing enough to give it a try 😄 19:15 - 20:30 - Dinner (everyone orders and pays individually) 20:30 - Head to CHAPITO together (inside the same complex) 20:30 - IMANY live concert (having your concert ticket beforehand is essential. Here's the [link](https://casino2000.lu/en/events/imany-17-april-2026/) for the tickets) * Please only sign up if you genuinely plan to attend, I’ll be reserving a table for the group * If your plans change, kindly update your RSVP in advance so someone else can take your spot * If you’d like to arrange carpooling, feel free to connect with each other in the event messages or comments

We must save ourselves & perhaps then we may save each other. HP Loveshaft incarnated in the former Soviet Union & came of age in Hollyweird USA. His studies of sex, sushi, swing dancing, sociology, sadomasochism & astrophysics made him insufferable at parties, so he turned to drag, where he could monologue to a captive audience at leisure. When the Jewish transsexual diaspora brought him to Berlin, he was inspired to minister to his own spiritual needs in a characteristically indecent manner. To reduce reliance on billionare-owned social media platforms, he has a monthly newsletter.

These days, she’s hard at work perfecting her resting bitch face—just kidding, she still smiles at strangers in grocery stores like a weirdo. When not performing around Europe, Jess is the author of Substack The Alternative Expat Guide to Luxembourg and likes to steal other people’s chips. [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/bauldryjess/) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/jess.bauldry.3/) **Sharon VS** spent many years suppressing her comedic talent inside a full time corporate HR career. Finally realising that she's terrible with people, in 2022, she co-wrote a stand-up show and took it to Edinburgh Fringe Festival. This completely changed her life. She now only works part time in HR. Off-stage you will find Sharon VS gathering more material by raising a teenager in Germany. Sharon VS is a co-producer of Festrogen, the Luxembourg-based comedy festival for feminists of all genders, and a co-founder of Random Things Comedy Cologne, an inclusive open mic. **Mari Volar** is a comedian, MC and event producer from Estonia. She can often be seen on stage in various cities across Europe, where she performs as an independent comedian, or hosting comedy events with her various comedy collectives. Mari proudly brings more feminism into her comedy and more comedy into her feminism, creating a over-the-top mix in both that simply cannot be missed. She is a co-founder of Festrogen.
