Again, like last year, I was just gonna take it easy and not do anything. Last week I was at a tap takeover at [Out of the Brew](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Out+Of+The+Brew/@22.2840462,114.149657,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x340401592c06d881:0x8eef2de1032272ea!8m2!3d22.2840462!4d114.1522319!16s%2Fg%2F11nn0676k5?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTIwOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D), and a group of people told me there is actually a bit of demand for an easy event for meeting people like the pub crawl on Xmas Eve. So here we go again. Starting at 19:00, our first stop is: Not2Sweet [33 Peel Street, Central](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Not+2+Sweet/@22.2832782,114.1505636,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x3404010b1f459a6d:0x214f0a3ee13057ef!8m2!3d22.2832782!4d114.1531385!16s%2Fg%2F11y5vgv3_z?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTIxMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) Their happy hour starts at 17:00, feel free to arrive early to take advantage. They have possibly the best eggnog and mulled wine I'd ever had during this Christmas season. And they also have some food options. At 20:30, we move up the slope to: 99 Bottles [Shop B, 59a Peel St, Central](https://www.google.com/maps/place/99+Bottles/@22.2824732,114.1498221,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x3404007b9f4cf0f7:0x7df9a275b54fe246!8m2!3d22.2824732!4d114.152397!16s%2Fg%2F11c6cpgz8n?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTIxMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) This is one of our regular hole in the wall joint with affordable local beers. A new cocktail bar just opened next door. Y'all can check that out if you can get in. Finally at 22:00, we finish at: The Globe [Garley Building, 45-53A Graham St, Central](https://www.google.com.hk/maps/place/The+Globe/@22.282423,114.1478156,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x3404007b759ce0c7:0x6ec115eaf78d5a97!8m2!3d22.2824181!4d114.1526865!16s%2Fg%2F1xb2b4yl?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDIwNS4xIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) While they have excellent food, by the time we arrive the kitchen will be closed. As per usual I will be wearing the Snoo stuff toy so we will be easy to spot. Also, this time I will make an attempt at dressing well. Strongly suggest everyone to pay for your drink as soon as you order it. The bill often get confusing when we have a large crowd. Please send me your whatsapp number so I can put you into the super secret elite whatsapp group. Finally, if you had a good time please leave a good review for our venues. Good venues are closing left and right in HK and they need all the help they can get.

Hi everyone, Christmas Eve has always felt like a time for warmth, good conversations, and being around people who make you feel at home. Since many of us are living between China and Europe — far from our usual traditions and families — I thought it would be nice to spend this night together, in a more intimate way. So for Christmas Eve, I plan to book a private KTV room where we can just be ourselves: eat, drink, sing terribly (or beautifully), dance a little, and talk about everything from life to work to the strange joys of living across continents. It won’t be a big event , and I’d love to prioritize the people who’ve already come to our meetups. You’ve helped shape this little community from day one, and I want this night to feel like a cozy gathering of familiar faces. **What the night will be like:** ✨ A warm space where we can settle in and unwind ✨ Food, drinks, music… whatever we feel like ✨ Conversations that drift from funny stories to deeper reflections ✨ A small group, so it feels like spending Christmas Eve with friends **Date:** December 24, 2025 **Time:** Evening (exact time to follow) **Location:** details TBC **Capacity:** 18 people **Cost:** We’ll just split the room fee, 40 RMB per hour per person, estimated. You order your own food/drinks

Okay, you (at least some of you) asked for it — here it is... **"An Evening with DXO Labs (NIK Collection 8)"** For many, many years, the NIK Collection of photo editing tools has been the coveted add-on of choice for many photographers. To know the story of the NIK Collection is to know happiness, angst, celebration, and innovation. But more of that at the meeting! I will spend a couple of hours going through the most useful tools in the NIK Collection and showing how I use them in my editing workflow. If you aspire to elevate your editing skills and produce better-edited images, this set of tools is worth a look! Meeting Schedule: 1. 6:00 - Introduction, Meet New Members 2. 6:10 - Old Business 3. 6:20 - New Business 4. 6:30 - Pre-Shoot Briefing/Education 5. 7:15 - Break 6. 7:30 - Image Critique 7. 8:00 - Adjourn Pre-Shoot Brief/Education: NIK Collection 8 Image Critique: Previous Photoshoot Images (iPhone images and Christmas Cards). If anyone has images they would like critiqued, please provide them at the beginning of the meeting. Providing Images for Critique: For now, I will collect images at the beginning of the meeting on a USB memory stick. My computer has USB-C ports, so a USB-C memory stick or one with dual (USB-C / USB-A) ports will be needed.

**Caller: Gaye Fifer** **Band: Hot Coffee Breakdown** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!

Agenda: **5:00 PM EST**: Online and in-person meeting begins with a social hour. This is an unstructured hour where you can join us to catch up and meet other group members before the session starts. There will be food brought in for in-person attendees. **6:00 PM EST**: Updates and announcements, followed by our feature presentation.

Session Abstract **Data on Fire: A Hands-On Intro to Spark in Fabric** Curious about Apache Spark but not sure where to start? This hands-on session introduces you to Spark in Microsoft Fabric Notebooks—a powerful and accessible way to process and analyze big data using familiar tools in the Microsoft ecosystem. We’ll break down key Spark concepts like distributed computing, DataFrames, and lazy evaluation, then show how they come to life inside Fabric’s notebook experience. You’ll see practical demos that cover loading, transforming, and analyzing large datasets—while leveraging Fabric’s modern data stack, including OneLake, Dataflows, and Pipelines. You’ll also learn how to choose between Spark and pure Python notebooks in Fabric, based on execution needs, data integration, and use case fit. Whether you're a SQL pro, BI developer, or data engineer, this session will give you the tools and confidence to start using Spark in your own projects—no cluster management required. \*Please note, that we will be using Microsoft Teams for the online portion of this meeting. You may want to join a few minutes early to ensure you do not have any issues. If you are attending in person, there are large TVs at the office, and you do not need to bring a laptop or use Teams.
