Wir freuen uns auf euch!
Ergänzende Infos: Salsa! Kein anderer Tanz hat in den letzten Jahren eine derart steile Erfolgskurve aufs Parkett gelegt. Die Salsa weckt Sehnsüchte nach der Karibik und versprüht wahre Lebensfreude. Salsa wird paarweise getanzt. Ein Partner führt, der andere wird geführt. Bei uns werden hauptsächlich Kurse im kubanischen Stil unterrichtet, der Salsa Cubana, welcher seinen Ursprung in Kuba hat. Die kubanische Salsa wirkt eher spielerisch, rhythmisch und lebendig und setzt sich aus unterschiedlichen lateinamerikanischen Rhythmen und Tänzen zusammen. Das wesentliche Merkmal des kubanischen Stils sind die Drehungen des Tanzpaares um einen gemeinsamen Mittelpunkt und das Kernstück des Salsa Cubana, die Rueda de Casino. Der Name Rueda rührt daher, dass alle beteiligten Paare einen Kreis bilden, wobei sie jeweils synchron die gleichen Figuren tanzen. Bedingt durch Partnerwechsel, die jeweils zu den getanzten Figuren gehören, dreht sich die Rueda bzw. das Rad. Der Kurs für blutige Anfänger oder für Leute, die sich mit den Basic-Elementen noch unsicher fühlen.

P.A.Z. - La Sindrome di BAJ
*English description below*
Come un bookclub ma per i podcast. Ogni mese ci ritroviamo per parlare di un podcast che abbiamo ascoltato e scambiarci pareri, opinioni e consigli su nuovi e possibili ascolti.
**Questo mese ascoltiamo La sindrome di BAJ,** un podcast di Daniele Vaschi / punkrocker’s autoproduzioni e Storielibere.
Puoi ascoltarlo su **[Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/3yIaEdImgNw3HvXwREOQTf?si=w-Abw9aNQQy8qGRadbJVmQ&nd=1&dlsi=cdfde720538a433d "https://open.spotify.com/show/3yIaEdImgNw3HvXwREOQTf?si=w-Abw9aNQQy8qGRadbJVmQ&nd=1&dlsi=cdfde720538a433d"), [Apple Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/la-sindrome-di-baj/id1841399088 "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/la-sindrome-di-baj/id1841399088") e [Amazon Music](https://music.amazon.it/podcasts/e77873ec-1535-48b1-ab89-ddcd99639733/la-sindrome-di-baj "https://music.amazon.it/podcasts/e77873ec-1535-48b1-ab89-ddcd99639733/la-sindrome-di-baj")**

### Incantagioni Audio-EssayLa Sindorme di BAJ
*[Dal sito storielibere.fm](https://storielibere.fm/la-sindrome-di-baj/)*
Un viaggio dentro l'ossessione di Daniele Vaschi alla ricerca di Enrico Baj, in compagnia di Generali, ultracorpi, meccani e delle voci di chi ha conosciuto il pittore, il saggista, l’intellettuale patafisico.
Cosa è successo a Daniele Vaschi? Perchè diciamoci la verità, cos’è un quadro? a cosa serve? chi è un artista? e poi perchè ci si deve sempre innamorare di qualcuno o qualcosa?
Questa è: “ La sindrome di Baj.
### Cosa è P.A.Z. Podcast Ascolti Zurigo?
Il miglior modo per conoscere un podcast è il passaparola. Solitamente questo viaggia attraverso i social media. P.A.Z., acrononimo che sta per Podcast Ascolti Zurigo nasce per scoprire cose nuove da ascoltare e avere la possibilità di parlarne con altri, in persona. Come un bookclub, ma per i podcast.
#### *English Version*
Each month, we gather to discuss a podcast we've listened to, sharing thoughts, opinions, and recommendations for future listens.
This month we are listening to *BAJ Syndrome*, a podcast by Daniele Vaschi / punkrocker’s autoproduzioni and Storielibere..
You can listen to it on **[Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/3yIaEdImgNw3HvXwREOQTf?si=w-Abw9aNQQy8qGRadbJVmQ&nd=1&dlsi=cdfde720538a433d "https://open.spotify.com/show/3yIaEdImgNw3HvXwREOQTf?si=w-Abw9aNQQy8qGRadbJVmQ&nd=1&dlsi=cdfde720538a433d"), [Apple Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/la-sindrome-di-baj/id1841399088 "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/la-sindrome-di-baj/id1841399088") e [Amazon Music](https://music.amazon.it/podcasts/e77873ec-1535-48b1-ab89-ddcd99639733/la-sindrome-di-baj "https://music.amazon.it/podcasts/e77873ec-1535-48b1-ab89-ddcd99639733/la-sindrome-di-baj")**
### *BAJ Syndrome*
**From Storielibere.fm**
A journey into Daniele Vaschi’s obsession in search of Enrico Baj, alongside Generals, ultrabodies, machines, and the voices of those who knew the painter, the essayist, the pataphysical intellectual.
What happened to Daniele Vaschi? Because, let’s be honest—what is a painting? What is it for? Who is an artist? And why do we always have to fall in love with someone or something?
This is “BAJ Syndrome.”
### What's P.A.Z.?
The best way to discover a podcast is through word of mouth, usually traveling through social media. P.A.Z., an acronym for Podcast Ascolti Zurigo, was born to uncover new things to listen to and the chance to discuss them with others in person. Like a book club, but for podcasts.
#### Is there an entry fee?
The event is free (it would be nice to know how many of us are coming, so if you can, RSVP for free here). Everyone is free to order something at the bar at their own expense.
#### Do I need to have listened to the entire podcast?
No, you can come even if you haven't heard the entire podcast (but it's better if you have).
#### Is the podcast to listen to always in Italian?
Yes, currently, P.A.Z. aims to focus on Italian-language podcasts, and anyone who speaks Italian is welcome.
#### I like it but I can't be there, what can I do?
Feel free to contact me via the email you find on Eventbrite, and I will be able to keep you updated on upcoming events.

* ***The event is inspired*** *by the [Swiss Stammtisch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stammtisch) and Greek village coffeeshops ("[Καφενείο](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafenio)"), once vibrant [community hubs](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=569660528&sxsrf=AM9HkKlXnclaLfgcockKtdr9qHdmD5jaGw:1696060562834&q=greek+%5D(https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=569660528&sxsrf=AM9HkKlXnclaLfgcockKtdr9qHdmD5jaGw:1696060562834&q=greek+)%CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%86%CE%B5%CE%BD%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%BF&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi52fX67dGBAxXnlf0HHZNiBHUQ0pQJegQICRAB&biw=1460&bih=913&dpr=2&udm=2) where people gathered daily. We innovate this concept with a modern twist. I, Christos, fondly remember visiting these with my grandfather and now revive this fading tradition with a modern twist. Hope you enjoy it ❤️*
* 95% of people come **solo** \- you can too❤️

Want **more info** than our Summary above? Then please read below:
.
.
.
.
.
**WHY?** we ❤️ **uniting people** and building **community** while having **fun!** We truly believe that **fun meaningful offline connections** to new & existing friends makes us truly happy and healthy! Our community meets **every 2 Fridays** in a **homey,** caring and **welcoming** "come as you are" environment !
.
**WHAT is this event?** We are not a "party or drinks" meetup, nor we follow a "forced" process and agenda. Instead, we are a **Connection Community** inspired by Greek village cafes and Swiss Stammtisch — a welcoming environment where neighbours gathered as equals to share stories and build lasting friendships. We meet in a "**fixed-rhythm**" every 2 Fridays in a **homey** & **lovingly-hosted space** so you can connect with new and familiar faces. We provide **several optional activities** to help you **connect** with others—so you're free to **explore what resonates** with you! Together these activities create a unique **Connection** **Event.**
.
.
.
.
**TIPS on how to connect:**
* **Look out for a good smile/vibe** in a person/group of 2-3 people and say "Hi my name is xxx, can I join?".
* **Try something different** (person, game, table, activity) often until you find **fun** **quality connection.** We have a lot of activities
* **Ask** **Support:** we understand going out to meet friends can be a stretch. We make this easy with a fun and safe event. Also you can ask for help from our clearly communicated (see photos of this event) "**People Connectors**" who can help you discreetly to connect with others
* **Invest time**(not quickly just come by) as friendships are an investment
* **Come back**: big turnaround, people come randomly at each event, so you never know who you ll meet
.
.
**.**
**Some final words:**
* **Bravo** **to you** for the courage to go out to meet new people! We know **everyone is unique** \- thats why we got a big new\-comer area\, 4 co\-hosts welcoming and connecting you\, and many activities for you to **choose** from to find what **suits you**!
* **Weather?** Event takes place rain or shine, with indoors rooms and outdoors area that is ultra rain-protected
* **Coming late?** no problem, we got many people until closing at 00:00 so come whenever!
* **Too many attendees?** no problem, we got the space! Also as per the "what" above: you define what makes the event meaningful for you! Furthermore, the co-organisers have one goal: to say hi and introduce you to the event and people (if you want to please ask)! Finally remember: you dont have to talk to everyone, focus in a few people! Less is more! If you dont know where to start look for a good smile or an activity more matching to you. From there keep on trying people and activities..
* **Why so many options above for connection?** We always have: a first-timer area, Fun social games, Mindful games, ice-breaker questions or simply just talk freely to anyone. Often we add: Speed-friending and a Music jam. We believe **you are unique** and each of us prefers different ways of connection. Also we want to provide an opportunity for everyone to try something new
* **Easy and Safe:** We have the whole location reserved for us so its safe to open up and meet new friends (unlike bars in Zürich where people find it strange if strangers talk to them). Christos and volunteers will also help with connection. Read more info below.
* **Christos** (see [PHOTO](https://photos.app.goo.gl/pdtVaVGCyDEJ28uE8)) and our co-organisers will be wearing name budges and will aim to **welcome** **everyone.**
* more info via our **[LINKS](http://linktr.ee/connectionspace)**
* Yes YOU are **good** & **courageous** for looking for new fun connections!
* Everyone is in same situation and you ll be surprised how **friendly people** are ❤️
* Come **early** though **later** also ok as many people there **until 00:00**
* **It works**! We heard of many new friendships, living together and even getting a new job
* **Mindful Connection Games:** from [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/?_product_type=games-card-sets) available: Confessions Game, The Friendship Game, Connection Game, The Loser Game, Games for grown-ups and three sets of "100 questions" (Conversation Toolkit & Careers & Relationships)
* **Fun Social Games:** bring your own **board/card games** or choose from: Cards against humanity, Exploding Kittens, Codenames, Debatable, Sotally Tober, Taboo, Mafia, Uno, Monopoly and more.

Beachvolley for Beginners at Sportplatz Buchlern 🏐
Hello everyone,
Since it might be sunny, I changed the location to Zürich Buchlern. Therefore, we will also get 2 fields (court 1 & 2) 🤗
During this event, you’ll have the chance to meet new people, play friendly matches and learn the basic techniques, if you wish.
This event is aimed at everyone that has never played before or a long time ago and is not sure to be able to pass the ball properly over the net or to someone. If you think you're comfortable playing, I invite you to join the advanced events of Marius: https://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-avsypajv/.
**Tips:**
\- Bring a water bottle \(there's a drinking fountain next to the courts\)
\- Bring **sunglasses**, sunscreen and a cap
\- The courts can usually be watered\, except in rare cases \- so it's good to bring suitable socks if it's hot
**Practical details and participation conditions:**
\- A small contribution is required for court rental and other organisational expenses\, please pay before the event via TWINT at \+41784053495 by **writing your name and date of the event** or cash the day of the event.
\- For any inquiries\, please **only message me on Meetup**
\- Please only sign up through Meetup for an easier organisation
\- Please cancel at least 24 hours in advance if you can’t make it\, so others can sign up or I can reschedule the session
\- If you don't cancel and do not show\, cover your share to keep it fair for everyone\.
\- If it's raining\, the event will be cancelled as it's difficult to book 2 indoor beach courts\.
**Price per person:** CHF 6.5
**!No shows!**
Lately, there has been quite some no-shows. Therefore, I remind you to sign out 24 hours before the event if you're not sure to come. So that people in the waiting list can join instead. The court is not free, any no-show means wasted cost. In case of a no-show and no payment, I have no choice but to impeach you from signing up again by excluding you from the group 😣
ZH3 Hash # 1721: The Gladiator-Chuggins 69th Birthday Hash
Hares are Gladiator and Merry Chuggins. Despite possessing only one braincell between them, these B.I.M.B.Os have somehow not only survived until adulthood, but made it to milestone birthdays! Chuggins is turning 30 and Gladiator will be... very slightly older. The important thing is that for this hash, their combined age will be a glorious 69! So come and celebrate with more shot stops than is really feasible and a karaoke afterparty. Details TBC.
**Where**:
Zurich City Look for English speakers wearing running gear.
**When:**
We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm.
There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards.
**All Welcome:**
If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know:
• We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is useful.
• The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun.
• 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further.
• The '*Hare*', which changes each event (along with location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time.
• There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change.
• **After Trail**, we group for \~20-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This '*Circle*' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards.
**Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?**
If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it.
'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.*
We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
