In English Friday 13th: 19:00-21:00 Saturday 14th: 16:00-18:00 Saturday 14th: 20:00-22:00 50-225 kr: [Tickets here](https://h2ocph.billetten.dk/index/eventdetails/eventno/143395) *Unhappily Ever After* is a Valentine's cabaret for anyone whose love story didn't quite make it into the fairy tale. Told with warmth, wit, and a healthy dose of self-awareness, the show explores the highs and lows of chasing a love story and asks the question: what if not getting the fairy tale is actually fine? Performed by an incredible cast of 15 professional, international singers, *Unhappily Ever After* is a true showcase of musical theatre talent. This is big voices, sharp storytelling, and embittered love ballads at their best, all delivered in an intimate cabaret setting. Featuring songs from *Waitress*, *Legally Blonde*, *Follies*, *The Last Five Years*, *A Chorus Line*, *Falsettos*, and many more, the show uses iconic musical numbers to help you celebrate Valentine's Day in a whole new way. Perfect for couples, friends, the happily single, the freshly heartbroken, or anyone who enjoys laughing at love while still believing in it (a little bit), *Unhappily Ever After* is a Valentine's show with heart, humour, and zero pressure to believe in happily ever after. Because sometimes, unhappily ever after is exactly where the good stuff starts. **Info om cast og produktion:** Host: Rachel Kador Dramaturg: Lasse Holmelund Jarbøl Producent: Maria Højrup Jørgensen Pianist: Ethan Nowack **Cast:** Anna Christine Bauer Clara Amalie Singerholm Christiansen Evan Kilgore Freya Uldal Jana María Guðmundsdóttir Jasper Thomas Kristen Flanagan Kristian Husted Melissa Bayern Olivia Jang Pablo Lara Rachel Kador Roger William Le Blanc Jr. Trine Marie Wisborg **About Cph Musicals:** CPH Musicals was founded in 2022 with the mission of promoting musical theatre and musicals in both Danish and English, so that more people can enjoy high-quality musical experiences.

Hey Randoms, This is your chance to try sleeping outdoors in the cold season! 11 KM on Friday Night - night hiking is fun! 24 KM on Saturday. It's an after-work-on-a-Friday type of event, with a short hike 11 KM Friday night and around 24 KM on Saturday. We'll hit the start of the trail in Röstånga just after 18:00 and hike in the dark. A good light source is going to be **very** important here - please bring that. Headlamp recommended. As usual, you need to be self-supported: gear, nutrition, etc. And this time of year it's good to pay extra attention to the comfort temp rating of your sleeping bag and the R-Value of your sleeping pad. We'll pass by several water resupply options along the way, so you'll probably be OK with packing 2 liters of water, depending on personal preferences and needs. We may our may not find a shelter. It's not a sure thing, so please bring your tent, hammock, tarp - whichever you prefer. And it could be too wet for a campfire, so you probably don't want to rely too much on that for cooking. Saturday is a hike around Söderåsen National park, with some fun spots along the way, and we'll return to Röstånga mid to late afternoon - the trip back to CPH is around 2 hours. The weather this time of year can be a little rough, and it's usually wet and cold, so please make sure to dress accordingly and pack waterproof, especially your sleeping bag. Get your train/bus ticket from Skånetrafiken - they have a decent mobile app, recommended. Destination: Röstånga bus station.

Hey all Im recreating this group again, lets meet at Paddys for drinks and meet people! Usually we end up going dancing elsewhere. Hope to see you :)

A brief introduction and discussion about lexical analysis, parsers, grammars, NDFA and DFA, and compiler generators. A grammar is a 4-tuple defined as Non terminals, terminals, a start symbol, and a set of productions. G(N, T, S, P) LL (scan from the left and build a left tree), LR (scan from the left and build a right tree). Recursive descent (A possibly hand built LL parser). Productions will be Chomsky type 3 for regular expressions for lexical analysis, and type 2 (context free) for computer languages, based on BNF. Let’s build a very simple tokeniser and then use it to parse a small language using recursive descent. My language of choice would be C# but we could use C or C++ if there is consensus on that. C# Lexer/Tokeniser can be fetched from (now with parse tree) www.blueoffice.com

Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program: Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there! Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

The topic for February is "Transitions" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
