Open Mic comedy at Nook Bar & Lounge, returning for one night only, this Thursday! Come along, have some laughs, maybe even tell some jokes. Maybe even... Fall in love? It could happen! We're not making any promises! But, think about it, sharing laughter, knowing looks, intimate moments. All the ingredients are there! So come along on Thursdays, laughs guaranteed, love almost guaranteed!

This is our second rehearsal for our ifc performance on 11/12/2016

You and your friends will laugh so hard you forget about that time you Googled “do you really live longer if you’re single?” You will finally hear that unapologetic joke and think, ‘Oh my God, I’ve thought the exact same thing… but I’d never say it out loud because I like having friends. You will experience a story so twisted, you walk out thinking, ‘You know what? Maybe my life isn’t that bad. I’m from California and I’ve toured internationally to sold-out audiences in over 65 countries – from Singapore, Zurich, Egypt, and, even in places where it’s illegal to smile. I’m coming to your city, just for you. Why? Because you deserve to laugh too. Now book those tickets, put down the phone, and enjoy the comedy experience. -Rachman **This show is in English** Date: 02-July 2026 Time: 8:00 PM Location: Fa Gai, 32號 Wyndham St, Central Tickets: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/comedyexperience/2254296 PLEASE NOTE: This is a paid event.

*“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” — Adapted from Carl Jung* **What is a recurring pattern in your life that you’ve always chalked up to "just the way things are," but might actually be a choice you didn't know you were making?** We all like to believe we are the conscious authors of our own lives. We wake up, pursue our careers, nurture relationships, and make daily decisions with the conviction that we are fully in the driver's seat. For the most part, this belief keeps us moving forward, allowing us to build our lives with a sense of control and purpose. But sometimes, we notice strange echoes. We find ourselves repeating the same frustrating relationship dynamics, reacting with familiar anxieties, or following well-meaning expectations we've never paused to examine. We hit invisible walls and call it "bad luck," or we feel inexplicably stuck and chalk it up to "fate." Conscious Choice is the profound, sometimes unsettling process of looking under the hood. It is the act of checking our "blind spots"—the hidden impulses, unexamined fears, and borrowed beliefs that run our minds on autopilot—and asking: Am I actually making a free decision right now, or am I just following a default setting? Join us at this Curious Souls Cafe gathering to explore the brave, liberating work of turning off the autopilot. We will discuss how to untangle our authentic desires from our passed-down habits, the courage it takes to face our hidden drivers, and the profound freedom of finally taking the steering wheel. Bring your stories, a brave spirit, and an open mind. Let's explore what happens when we finally step out of the background noise and make a choice that is entirely our own. **Inviting those who...** 🪞 Are curious about the hidden drivers behind their daily routines and major life choices. 🧭 Feel like they are repeating certain life patterns and want to figure out how to break the cycle. 🗝️ Seek a brave, judgment-free space to discuss the deeper, sometimes messy layers of the human experience. 🫂 Want to understand the everyday expectations they absorbed, and decide what to keep and what to leave behind. 🤝 Hope to find "kindred spirits" who appreciate profound, authentic conversations over small talk. 📅 Agenda / What You'll Experience 💬 Prompted Conversations We will use virtual question cards designed to help people thoughtfully explore their experiences. Here are some sample questions: * We make thousands of choices a day. In your own life, what does it feel like to make a truly "conscious" choice versus a choice made purely on "autopilot"? * What is a small, everyday "rule" about how a life should be lived that you inherited, but recently decided to lovingly leave behind? * Making a conscious choice sometimes means stepping out of familiar patterns. How do you balance honoring your authentic self while still maintaining harmony with the people around you? From there, we’ll embark on a respectful, engaging, and meaningful conversation, celebrating the diversity of perspectives and ideas within the group. Note: This session may involve virtual question cards accessed via a link or QR code. If you do not have a device (phone/tablet) to access these, please ask a facilitator for assistance; we have spare units available. The exact format of the event may change depending on turnout according to [https://curioussouls.cafe/#how-to](https://curioussouls.cafe/#how-to) and other factors. 💬 Final Thoughts and Feedback Where time allows, in the final 10 minutes of the event, we’ll take a moment to reflect on the key insights, memorable moments, and takeaways from our discussions. This is a chance to distill the shared wisdom and leave with a deeper understanding of the topics we’ve explored together. After the event officially concludes, the group may choose to extend the session, depending on the group’s interest. Of course, you’re welcome to leave at any time that feels right for you. An anonymized summary will be shared for sessions where key insights are identified. After the meeting, our facilitators and participants may reflect on the discussion and contribute to a summary or collaborative workbook based on their notes and observations. Additionally, questions may be revisited in future sessions in an anonymized manner.

We're back! We currently meet at Forever Lounge in Causeway Bay (near Tin Hau MTR station) roughly once a month. The emphasis of our gatherings is always on the creative, artistic, and collaborative aspects of filmmaking. Typically, we begin with informal introductions, where you will have the opportunity to talk about yourself and your background, experiences and/or goals. Your host Ben will then introduce a new topic (this month's presentation is on screenplay format and story structure), during which questions and comments are always encouraged. We will then wrap up by discussing any projects we are working on or would like to get started. All are welcome, and no experience is necessary. Questions and opinions are always encouraged. If you have any materials (scripts, showreels, raw/edited footage, etc.) that you would like to share, please feel free to bring it along, but all you will need is enthusiasm and confidence!

因為在其他平台也有發布，所以實際人數可能會比該平台到場人數多 即使你報名了，也不一定會被邀請參加活動 耳機是體外器官，歌單是私人日記。 喜歡一首歌會循環到天黑， 偶爾也想把耳機分給一個懂的人聽。 生活裡總有些時候，想拉住身邊人說：「你一定要聽這首」「你一定要看這部」。 這個聚會，就是想讓你找到那個願意聽、也聽得懂的人。 音樂、電影、藝術，聊什麼都行，只要你真的喜歡。 這個夜晚，沒有主講人，沒有流程， 甚至不需要刻意聊音樂。 只是把你和一群聽歌品味相似的人或者愛聽音樂的人 可以從最近循環的一首歌聊起， 也可以從歌手聊到生活、從旋律聊到回憶， 或者只是喝杯咖啡，聽聽別人在聽什麼。 也許會驚喜發現，原來也有喜歡一樣的人，也許發現原來也能學到新知識。或者只是來換個週末放鬆方式，體驗不一樣的感覺 活動形式：每個人都要聊聊自己喜歡的音樂或者電影，為什麼喜歡？背景故事等等（當然如果你只是過來聽聽也可以） 時間：7月3日 20:00 地點：報名後告知，報名後請與我聯繫 活動對象：20–30歲 費用：免費，但餐費請自理 注意： 多次占用名額卻未到場者，將失去未來的報名機會。 此活動有人數限制，活動過程中請保持友善，務必遵守相關法律法規，本活動和組織者不對參加成員安全負任何責任，請大家為自己安全負責。活動中不討論政治，宗教等。 活動內容不代表活動組織者觀點 本文和活動中的介紹內容和圖片僅供參考 本活動安排可能會臨時發生變化，請大家留意 如不同意或者違反以上內容，不可參加本次活動或可能會被要求離開活動 本活動不收取任何費用，活動過程中可以隨時離開 活動內容請以中文版為準 Because we also post on other platforms, the actual number of attendees may be higher than the number shown for that platform. Even if you sign up, you may not necessarily be invited to join the event. Headphones are an “organ outside the body,” and a playlist is a private diary. When you like a song, you may replay it until dark. Sometimes, you also want to share those headphones with someone who truly gets it. In life, there are moments when you want to grab the person next to you and say, “You have to listen to this.” “You have to watch this.” This gathering is meant to help you find that person who is willing to listen—and can understand. Music, movies, art—talk about anything, as long as you genuinely love it. On this night, there is no host, no agenda, and even no need to deliberately talk about music. It’s simply you and a group of people who share similar tastes in music—or who just love listening. You can start with a song you’ve been looping lately, or talk about the artist and then life; from melodies to memories. Or you can just grab a cup of coffee and listen to what others are listening to. You might be pleasantly surprised to find that there are others who like the same things. You might also discover that you can learn something new. Or you might simply come to relax on the weekend in a different way and experience something different. **Format:** Everyone should share the music or movie they like, and why they like it, including background stories, etc. (Of course, if you only want to come and listen, that’s also okay.) **Time:** July 3, 20:00 **Location:** Will be provided after registration. After registering, please contact me. **Audience:** 20–30 years old **Cost:** Free. However, please pay your own meal expenses. **Notes:** People who repeatedly reserve a spot but do not show up will lose the opportunity to register in the future. This event has a limited capacity. During the event, please be friendly and make sure to follow all relevant laws and regulations. The event and the organizer do not assume any responsibility for the safety of participants.

WHAT IS ONE-SHOT SATURDAY? It's a weekly meet-up in Sheung Wan/Central, focusing on indie games and single-session games (one-shots). 而家所有游戏係英文嘅但如果你要嚟玩中文游戏，我哋會無任歡迎。只要湊啱玩家就行！ You can drop in and play at any One-Shot Saturday – you do not need to have played in a previous session or commit to playing again. Whether you've played an RPG before or not, you're welcome to join us. Please arrive on time as once the games begin it becomes difficult to properly introduce latecomers. Join the conversation, make plans, suggest games to play, etc. — Facebook group: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/oneshotsaturdays/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/oneshotsaturdays/) \*\*\* WHAT IS A TABLETOP RPG? It's a game in which you never know where the next stop will be, because it’s all down to the decisions you and your fellow players make. Usually one person is the Game Master (or "GM"). Everyone else will be players, taking the role of the characters in the game. The players get to say what their characters say, think, and do. The GM describes everything else in the world. Then... we play to find out what happens. The game is a conversation: I say something, then you reply, maybe someone else chimes in. We talk about what's happening to the characters we imagine and the world around them. We also talk about the rules, which help us decide what happens next if the next step is in doubt. The rules differ from game to game: some use dice to shape the story, others use cards or something else. It's always a conversation, though.

With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to those volunteering at this (or any of our previous or future) CMG Gives Back events! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator. Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking! • What we'll do Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: 10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros. 10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour. 11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! • What to bring Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible. See you at The Café on Saturday!
