Afterwork

Start the new year by meeting like-minded ladies and gents! Join us for a relaxed Fast Friending evening where connecting feels natural and fun. Share the festive spirit, make new friends, and step into 2026 with fresh energy and meaningful new connections. 🎉 **You will need to buy a ticket for attending -** [https://lux10thjan.eventbrite.co.uk](https://lux10thjan.eventbrite.co.uk) \*You can use any debit or credit card to purchase your ticket at PayPal checkout. It will ask you for your email address but that is only to send you a receipt. You do not need a PayPal account. TICKETS:- Early Bird - €5 / person Regular Ticket - €10 / person Cash at meetup: If you do not purchase a ticket in advance then you can pay Jennifer cash of €15 when you attend. **Here’s how our Fast Friending works:-** \- We will meet at 7\.00 and have time to get settle down and get a drink\. \- From about 7\.30 to 8\.30 we will run the fast friending system\. Half of the group \(mixed gender\) will stay in a fixed place and the other half of the group \(mixed gender\) will be asked to rotate\. During these intervals\, each pair of people will get the opportunity to talk to each other\. \- Jennifer will be hosting the evening and she will organize the fast friending process\. She will indicate when you should move to the next person\. \- From 8\.30 onwards we will stop the system and people will have to chance go chat and interact with those they have met as well as others\. If you are a bit shy or anxious then please come early. Jennifer will help you meet other members in a small group and help you settle down and get comfortable. All attendees are also welcome to bring a lady friend along with them for free. This will make it a lot less stressful for you as you will always have your friend alongside. \- We are not a close knit tight group\. Our evenings are warm and comfortable for members attending for the first time and those coming alone\. You will not feel alone\! \- We have many groups in this city\. Members of our other groups who RSVP are included as guests of the organisers in order to give you an indication of expected people\. \- This evening is for ladies and gents in the 25 to 45 age group\. While some will be at the younger end of this range there will also be others at the other end of the range and lots in\-between\! You will naturally gel with others of your own age range and so you will always find many attendees who fit your range\. \- We are not a dating group\. Our events are not organised to manage your dating life\. Our group is created to help ladies and gents meet other like minded ladies and gents\. Please do not attend our event if a perfect gender balance is important for your enjoyment of our meet\-up\. Why do we have tickets? 1. Cover our costs - Our host is compensated for their time and work. We also pay meetup and have dedicated staff to manage our events, hosts, venues and communication. 2. Group Safety - By securing your ticket we have a record and you contribute to a well organized evening where everyone is more committed and better behaved. 3.

**Attention**: Based on past no shows, everyone will start on a waiting list by default. Once you confirm (in a comment or by PMing me) that you’ve actually read the book, I’ll move you to the “going” list. Thanks for understanding! *People will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think.* Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death Written in the age of television, Amusing Ourselves to Death feels even more urgent now, when Instagram, TikTok, and endless feeds turn news into spectacle and conversation into content. We’ll look at what Postman got right, what he couldn’t have foreseen, and how his ideas map onto today’s attention economy. The question is the same: when everything is packaged as entertainment, what happens to our attention, our public talk, and our sense of what’s real?

Let’s meet for a great coffee at Lyoid. Let’s get to know each other and explore how we can make this group a fun and welcoming place to meet. Together, we’ll define the potential events this group could host in 2026. **Optional, if time allows or if in the mood:** Take a moment to celebrate the wins and positive moments from 2025. From there, we can shift our focus to 2026—dream a little bigger, define what we truly want to achieve, and map out clear, realistic steps to make it happen. I’ll bring some materials to help us turn ideas into actionable plans and keep the energy focused and productive. Coffee or food will be at your own expense, but the motivation and clarity should be well worth it. Looking forward to an inspiring conversation.

**⚡ AI & Coffee – In-Person Meetup in Luxembourg** Since the community has been growing, we’re hosting the next event on Sunday 11th January from 15h00-17h00 in Updown Bar (Downstairs) Based on the great feedback last time, feel free to bring your laptops if you’d like to show your work. People were very open to sharing approaches and projects, which sparked some truly deep conversations. Looking forward to meeting you all again, and also welcoming those who couldn’t make it last time. AI is moving so fast that it’s hard to keep up alone. The best way to make sense of it is by meeting others, exchanging ideas, and hearing fresh perspectives. That’s what this meetup is about. ☕ We’ll gather in a local café for open conversations about: * AI news and trends (what’s real, what’s hype) * Sharing projects, ideas, and feedback * Supporting each other and creating new stories * Building connections with like-minded people 👥 **Who’s welcome?** Developers, entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, students, researchers, creatives — and anyone simply curious about AI. 💡 **What to expect** * Casual atmosphere, no commitment, no pressure * The host will share small icebreakers and sparks of AI news * The rest is up to you: meet, talk, connect, and exchange 🎉 The only cost is your own coffee or drink. Bring your curiosity and an open mind — and let’s build one of the most exciting AI communities in the area.

Dear All, I thought about going to the North of the country this time. However, some of the connections suffer from "Schienenersatzverkehr". Instead, we go East. The train station in Wasserbillig doesn't suffer the same fate. But how do we get to Wasserbillig? There is this nice CFL trail starting in Manternach. I plan a lunchbreak after around 8 ½ km. At that point, we should be done with most slopes uphill. You can happily eat too much without worrying about gravity not letting you hike uphill. Weather forecast: below 0 degrees and cloudy Starting point: Train station Manternach Destination: Train station Wasserbillig Public transport: RB4810 direction Wasserbillig at 10:42 from Luxembourg Gare Centrale Other means: There is parking near both train stations for cars AND bikes. I hope to see many of you on Sunday Jörg Disclaimer: Please come prepared (food, water, shoes, clothes...). Know your own limits. Don't hesitate to ask any questions. The hike is at your own risk.

PLEASE NOTE - *you must be in the WhatsApp Group to join! Send me (Retro Man) a message via Meetup and I will add you.* Hi Everyone, two of us will be hosting a game of Mansions of Madness this Sunday, starting at 5pm, and we have room for three more players. This is an atmospheric horror game based on the stories of HP Lovecraft where you explore a mansion or site to solve a mystery. It's not an easy game to win, but it is very fun and entertaining! Because this requires an electronic app to play along, I will be hosting the game at home. We will organise via WhatsApp.

Early-bird coffee and conversation at [Java Central Café and Roaster](https://javacentral.coffee/)**!**

Join us as we get together to see the winner of the Best International Film at TIFF and a triple Golden Globe nominee: NO OTHER CHOICE! This top-reviewed dark comedy satirical thriller follows a man devises a unique plan to secure a new job: eliminate his competition. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: The film follows a desperate paper industry expert who decides to kill off his competition to be assured of the job he seeks to maintain his way of life. The film is co-written / produced / directed by Park Chan-wook and is based on The Ax by Donald Westlake. It stars Lee Byung-hun, Son Ye-jin, Park Hee-soon, Lee Sung-min, Yeom Hye-ran, and Cha Seung-won. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcz-RXMCyco BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews as the Venice International Film Festival and later at the Toronto Film Festival where it won the International People’s Choice Award! It just received 3 Golden Globe nominations for Best Picture (Musical or Comedy), Best Foreign Language Film and Best Actor for Lee Byung-hun. It was also selected as the South Korean entry (and likely nominee) for Best International Film at this year’s Academy Awards! MOVIE PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 2:00pm 4K showing and meet in the upstairs lobby area between 1:35 and 1:45pm! Tickets $11.25 via the GFC website and includes online ticketing fee. Advance purchase is advised. Once you have yours please list your seat number in the Comments below. DINNER PLAN: The new burger place isn’t open yet but we’ll still try someplace new! And someplace where the cuisine matches the film! Join us immediately following the movie at nearby TAKOREA, located just downstairs and next to the theater! We’ll try to grab the trio of tables just inside the door, which should work perfectly for our group! MENU: From small plates to tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and bowls, they have a wildly inventive menu that offers a “Korean-Mexican fusion concept” that serves “delicious food that everyone can enjoy!” Popular entrees include tacos, nachos and burritos made with Bulgogi beef, pork carnitas, Korean fried chicken, and even BBQ Tofu, along with traditional sides, chips and a variety of dips. For the vegans in the group, the BBQ Tofu Burrito is listed as “vegan friendly” and that combo of ingredients can be used in just about any entrée! And, if you’re not into Korean food, they have several straight-Mexican options as well! You can check out their menu here: https://www.takoreacbus.com/menu PARKING: Close, convenient parking is available in the nearby garage (located between 9th and 11th, just off High St). Bring your ticket with you and have it validated at the theater and for $2, you’re covered for the night!
