Grava, Dying Hydra - sludge/stoner/doom
GRAVA plays crushingly heavy and atmospheric sludge metal, where abysmally heavy riffs, pulsating bass, and apocalyptic drums collide with two raw vocal styles.
DYING HYDRA is a three-headed giant that has risen from the Copenhagen underground. This heavy and explosive trio aims to paralyze the masses with their distorted, gritty, and epic take on sludge/stoner/doom metal.
(translated with DeepL!)
Thank you for your attention to this matter - it does matter!

Group rules

Racism, Sexism, Ageism, Classism, Ableism, Genreism, Homophobia, Xenophobia, Making people feel in any way uncomfortable, Trolling, Shameless advertising, Causing avoidable arguments, Not taking a joke.

The Philosophy of HAPPINESS (!) — From Buddha to Brain Scans! We will explore...
**“The Philosophy of Happiness (!) — From Buddha to Brain Scans”**
Meaning, Pleasure, Discipline, Faith, and What It Means to Live Well
Everyone wants to be happy—but no one seems to agree on what that actually means. Is happiness inner peace or external success? Pleasure or purpose? Detachment, discipline, faith, or self-optimization? Across history, cultures, and now science, radically different answers compete for our attention.
This isn’t a self-help workshop or a mindfulness class. It’s a philosophical conversation about happiness as an idea, a practice, and a social goal.
***
**Topics we’ll touch on:**
* Buddha and the end of suffering: desire, attachment, and liberation
* Stoicism: control, resilience, and emotional discipline
* Hedonism: pleasure, limits, and whether “more” ever satisfies
* Religion and happiness: salvation, meaning, and transcendence
* Modern self-help: empowerment, illusion, or coping strategy?
* What does science say? Brains, dopamine, habits, and well-being data
* Can a society be “happy”—and should happiness be a political goal?
* And finally… is happiness something to pursue, cultivate, accept—or stop chasing altogether?
Casual discussion. No philosophical or scientific background required—just curiosity and lived experience. Whether you feel content, restless, skeptical, or searching—you’re not alone.
Let’s explore happiness not as a slogan—but as one of humanity’s oldest and hardest questions.
Get together and write
We're a group of writers that meets up every Sunday for a productive writing session.
**Here's how the meetup works:**
* We gather together, grab some fika, and then we write for an hour.
* After the hour is up, we spend some time chatting, sharing ideas and thoughts on writing, and discussing the challenges we've come across.
The goal is to **commit to working on your writing project for a set amount of time, all while** **connecting with other writers** and being motivated by the energy of creative minds working hard on their individual projects.
You'll have the chance to share your work and receive valuable feedback (if you so wish) or simply enjoy the company of like-minded individuals.
--
We're here, **same place, same time, every week.** So if you're feeling up to it, drop by and let's get writing!
Fast Day hike. 47 KM. Ängelholm to Mölle
Hey Randoms,
This 47 KM day hike takes us through the scenic Kullaberg area in south Sweden. We start in Ängelholm and work our way west to the town of Mölle. The Kullaberg nature reserve doesn't have reliable camp options, but luckily we are a group of badass randoms, so we just hike it in one day - and fairly fast too.
The hiking starts in Ängelholm at 8:15. The goal is to get to Mölle before 19:20. That gets us back to CPH at 22:29. **The pace is going to be a higher than usual, and breaks are going to be short.** So please consider this when signing up. Smiley game face on, pack light, bring a good light source, avoid food where cooking is required.
Arrival later than 19:20 means we'll need to deal with a late train and an extended trip home, which means a very late arrival back in CPH at 01:26.......not awesome. But if our pace doesn't work out, or if shit just happens, that's how it'll be - we adapt. We'll get home eventually :-)

April 8th Book Club Meeting
This Month's Book: *On A Sunbeam* by Tillie Walden
Join us for discussion at the Granville Public Library from 6 to 7pm.
Follow us on Instagram: @granvillepridebookclub
Bad Girls Book Club April 2026
**Our April novel is: *The Hong Kong Widow* by Kristen Loesch**
**This month’s novel blends gothic atmosphere with historical fiction and chilling horror, set against the haunting backdrop of China. The book is 368 pages in print and 10 hours and 42 minutes on audiobook.**
In 1950s Hong Kong, Mei is a young refugee of the Chinese Communist revolution struggling to put her past in Shanghai behind her. When she receives a shocking invitation—to take part in a competition in one of the city's most notorious haunted houses, pitting six spirit mediums against one another in a series of six séances over six nights, until a single winner emerges—she has every reason to refuse.
Except that the hostess, a former Shanghainese silent film star, is none other than the wife of the man who once destroyed Mei’s entire life.
It is promised the winner will receive a fortune, but there is only one prize Mei wants: revenge.
Decades later, the final night of that competition has become an infamous urban legend: The police were called to the scene of a brutal massacre but found no evidence, dismissing it as a collective hallucination. Mei knows what she saw, but now someone else is convinced they know what she did. She must uncover the truth about the last night she ever spent in that house—even if the ghosts of her past are waiting for her there. . . .
Book Bedazzling (BYOB) - Bloodguard by Cecy Robson
Let's bedazzle some books while we discuss our April pick: Bloodguard by Cecy Robson!
Book description:
One hundred years. Tens of thousands of gladiators. And today, only one will rise…
Everything in the Kingdom of Arrow is a lie.
Leith of Grey thought coming to this new land and volunteering to fight in the gladiator arena—vicious, bloodthirsty tournaments where only the strongest survive—would earn him enough gold to save his dying sister. He thought there was nothing left to lose.
He was wrong—and they took everything. His hope. His freedom. His very humanity.
All Leith has left is his battle-scarred body, fueled by rage and hardened from years of fighting for the right to live another day.
Then Leith meets Maeve, an elven royal who is everything he despises. Everything he should hate. Until the alluring princess offers him the one thing he needs most: a chance to win the coveted title of Bloodguard—and his freedom.
But in a kingdom built on secrets and lies, hope doesn’t come cheap.
Nor will his ultimate revenge…
Event:
Please bring your own book, journal, bookmarks, etc to bedazzle. If you have bedazzling supplies, please bring them as well. I will supply gems, glue, and picker tools, but if you have certain colors in mind, you may want to bring your own.
The Science of Aliens

Saturday Mornings @ East Market
Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating.
Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator.
Per what this group is about:
"Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who enjoy talking to people from other countries, and those who would like to discuss international travel and culture, and who enjoy getting together for good conversations."
Columbus Yarn Club at the Grandview Heights Library
12:45-3:45 in the Meeting Room on the library lowest level. Bring your yarn projects, meet new friends.
If you plan to attend, please RSVP yes. If you can’t attend, please change your RSVP to no. This helps anyone who is waitlisted and it allows me to have an accurate count of attendees as our space is quite limited.
Plenty of parking in the lot, in the overflow lot across the street, and on the street.
See you there!
Winter Note: If the weather is bad and I have to cancel the Meetup, i will issue the cancellation not later than 3 p.m. of that day.
