Battlestar Galactica

First meeting. We’ll just grab drinks, hang out, meet each other, and talk about favorite episodes, characters, and the Gang’s dumbest schemes.

We are making reservation and counting on you to show up, so please register only when you are going to be there, don't forget to update your RSVP if you can't come. Unfortunately cafes in Berlin are getting less and less laptop-friendly, please don't forget to order your drink or snack to support the cafe which will have us. If you are new to the meetup, don't worry, just come and say hi to the organizer. We also have many long-term regulars who will be happy to help you out and feel welcomed.

**Investors Networking Meetup: Apartment Investing Knowledge** Meet other **investors** and **aspiring investors** in our upcoming meetup and discuss with us the question: How do you actually build **long-term wealth** through apartment investments in Berlin (especially, when we deal with **rent caps** and r**egulation constraints** in the real estate market)? Many aspiring investors and home buyers understand the potential of real estate, but struggle to navigate pricing, deal evaluation, financing structures, and long-term strategy in a competitive market. In this meetup, you’ll get exclusive, first-hand insights from **Achim Amann**, CEO of Black Label Properties. Working at the intersection of **high-value transactions** and **investor advisory**, Achim brings a practical perspective on what it takes to identify the right opportunities and build a sustainable real estate portfolio. Rather than theory, this session focuses on **real-world decision-making**: how to approach apartment investments, what separates strong deals from weak ones, and how to think about long-term wealth creation in today’s market environment. Join us on **May 8th at 4:00 pm** at the Black Label Villa for an afternoon of practical insights, open discussion, and high-level networking with investors, buyers, and aspiring homeowners.

We invite you to take part in a shared cinematic experience built around reflection, atmosphere, and meaningful conversation. *Stalker* by Andrei Tarkovsky is a meditative and visually striking journey into a mysterious place known as “The Zone,” where the laws of reality seem to shift and a hidden room promises to fulfill one’s deepest desires. A guide known as the Stalker leads two men — a writer and a scientist — through this forbidden landscape, where every step is uncertain and nothing is as it seems. More than a conventional narrative, the film unfolds as a philosophical and emotional exploration of faith, doubt, and the search for meaning. Through long takes, haunting imagery, and a slow, immersive rhythm, Tarkovsky creates a space where viewers are invited to question not only the characters’ motivations, but also their own inner desires and beliefs. The journey into the Zone becomes a deeply personal experience, making each interpretation unique. **1\.

Please RSVP, so we have an idea about the size of the audience. We expect about 100 people. This is not our typical meetup. This is the screening of our [MAKE YOUR MOVE CHALLENGE](https://movienerds.com/movie-challenge). Eight weeks have flown by: writing, shooting, editing, problem-solving, and pushing through creative chaos. Now it’s time to watch those creations together. Expect a mix of genres, styles, experiments, first attempts, surprising ideas, and personal stories. Some films are polished, some are rough around the edges and all of them were actually made in the course of 8 weeks! Whether you joined the challenge, love indie filmmaking, or just want to spend an evening with creative people and original short films, you’re welcome. 📍 Location: [Hotel Continental – Art Space in Exile](https://artspaceinexile.org/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) 🎞️ Short film screenings 🏆 Awards: Best Social Media, Jury's choice, Audience favorite 🍻 Hangout & conversations afterward 🎟️ Open to filmmakers, film lovers, and curious humans **Stop waiting – start creating!**

Come along, grab a coffee, shut up, and write! We will do at least two sessions of each 45 minutes of writing and two breaks. We will start the first writing session at 11:15. **For space reasons, we are limited to a certain number of attendees, so please update your RSVP if you can't come**. We often have a large waiting list, and not updating your RSVP or not showing up if you do RSVP yes means that others miss out. We also ask that if you do change your RSVP, do it with reasonable notice. Thanks! We typically take over all of the cafe, but try to share tables if you can to allow space for other customers. If you are new, come and say hello, as we know that suddenly going quiet for 45 minutes and staring at that blank page can be intimidating when it's your first time. We have a lot of long-term regulars who will be happy to help you feel welcome. In between sessions, we have a Telegram chat: https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw For more information, visit [https://shutupwrite.com](https://shutupwrite.com/).

Join us as we get together to see your choice of two VERY different movies – one sweet and wholesome – the other a terrifying folklore horror! Option 1 is the fun whodunnit-action-comedy-mystery led by Hugh Jackman, THE SHEEP DETECTIVES! Option 2 is the top-reviewed supernatural-horror-thriller starring Adam Scott, HOKUM! Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: THE SHEEP DETECTIVES: Every night a shepherd reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand.

It is written/directed by Damian McCarthy stars Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh and Austin Amelio. Hokum premiered to rave reviews at this year’s SXSW Festival and is being release by Neon. It is earning a stellar 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which calls it, “A classic haunted house story enriched with atmospheric folklore and perfectly-timed shocks!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVCIK_MPyhc PLAN: For those seeing HOKUM, please purchase your ticket for the 7:00pm showing and meet inside the theater lobby at 6:50pm!

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event!

Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. 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 all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events! Should be another good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan
