Two for Tuesdays Walk & Comedy crawl option
Before the comedy crawl, we’re starting Tuesday with **Two for Tuesdays**: a casual **social walk** designed to get people off the couch, **out of the house,** and actually doing something.
This is a relaxed group walk at a **social pace,** covering roughly **2–3 miles**. Nothing intense. No pressure. Just good conversation, a little movement, and a **better way to spend your Tuesday** than sitting at home **scrolling your phone.**
Then **after the walk,** we roll right into the **comedy crawl.**
This is what makes the night better: you don’t just show up for one event, awkwardly stand around, then leave.
You actually get time to **meet people,** loosen up, and **feel part of something** before the comedy even starts.
If you’re tired of wasting your weeknights at home, this is your sign.
**Spots are limited.**
**A paid ticket** helps us plan accurately, keep the group intentional, and make sure the people who RSVP actually show up.
To avoid additional fees from meetup
Please use **ticket Link in comments** Preferred
Two for Tuesdays Walk **$2**

Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup (4th Tues)
Jimmy V's Grill & Pub in Grandview Heights. You are responsible for your own meal/drinks. We usually don't have any agenda other than eat, drink and talk. :) If the weather is nice we will be on the back patio, otherwise we are in the cigar room.
This group has been meeting every Tuesday evening for over a decade. Many attendees do not RSVP on meetup. Please don't let the small number here discourage you. Anyone/everyone is welcome to come. We'd love to have you join us.
COTA bus #5 comes to W. 5th and Wyandotte Rd. And it's a minute walk to the restaurant.
Columbus Yarn Club at the Grandview Heights Library
5:45-7:45 in Conference Room B, Library lower 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!

CABS First Friday Boardgaming 5/1
CABS First Friday of the month gaming!!! Door opens at 4pm and will go until the last game is played or the closer for the night needs their sleep.
Nick @ Night + Fire + Freestyle
**URGENT NOTICE: VENUE AND FORMAT CHANGE -** due to our agreement with Alive614 we are getting bumped from the space this Friday and will instead be meeting at Nick's house. Now our format will be "Nick @ Night + Fire + Freestyle." That means A.) No formal wine tasting, B.) Bring a bottle of wine to share and C.) Wear fire retardant clothing so you don't burst into flames while standing by the bonfire AND D.) braving the risk of being redundant, we will be meeting at Nick's House.
**Door Charge: *$0*.** There is no door charge this night.
**SIDE NOTE:** New members are welcome to ALL our Friday night wine tastings. You are still welcome.
**Wine**: Please do bring a bottle.
**Parking**: Street parking only. This is a residential area.
**Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass!
**Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing.
**Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions.
**After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, just go home. Call an Uber if needed, but please don't sleep in Nick's back yard. His neighbors are friendly, but let's not push it.
Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends.
Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***,
**Red 1 Realty**

Saturday Bonfire Comedy Experience With 2 other groups FREE
if you’re **tired of doing the same boring thing** every weekend, this is your excuse to **do something different.**
This is **not just a comedy show.**
It’s a full **Saturday night experience** at Shadybowl Speedway — a **BYOB** potluck cookout, **live racing,** a late-night **bonfire**, open mic **comedy under the stars**, and **free camping** if you want to stay the night.
We’re basically **throwing a party in the middle of nowhere** — about an hour west of Columbus and an hour north of Dayton
### The experience
**Start early with the cookout**
Come out around **4:00 PM** for a potluck-style cookout. Bring something to share, hang out, have a few drinks, and meet people before the night gets rolling.
**Then head into the races**
Racing starts around **7:00–8:00 PM** at Shadybowl.
**Bring a chair** and sit with us in **Turn 4** — best seats in the house. **in front of concrete spots** 58,59 **ask for Chance**
Think **racing isn’t your thing?**
That’s fine. **Bring something to drink** and come for the atmosphere, the noise, and **the wrecks.**
**Then the real vibe kicks in**
Once the races wind down, we head back to the fire for **Late Night Bonfire Comedy** starting around **11:30 PM**.
This is open mic style, so you might catch comics traveling through, a local favorite, somebody trying stand-up for the first time.
Either way, **you’re getting laughs around a bonfire** with drinks, good people, and nowhere else to be.
**Stay the night if you want**
No rush. No long drive home if you don’t want it.
**Free camping on-site** — bring a tent, **sleep in your car,** or just **hang out late by the fire.**
### What to know **Saturday, May 9, 2026**
