Power walks for people in tech and AI. ​**staaake Power Walk** It’s a break where you kill two birds at once — get your steps in and meet peers, without wasting time. ​**Why it’s better than a regular meetup** Meetups can be hit or miss. Even if it’s not great, you usually stay and think, *I could’ve done more with that time.* With a power walk, even if the vibe isn’t perfect, at least you got your steps in. ​**Bonus: Private WhatsApp Group** Everyone who joins a walk gets access to an exclusive WhatsApp group to keep connecting with like-minded people. ​👉 Free WhatsApp Channel: [https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb9wzfC6BIEg7UVtRq1Y](https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb9wzfC6BIEg7UVtRq1Y) 👉 8000+ followers on Linkedin [https://www.linkedin.com/company/staaake/](https://www.linkedin.com/company/staaake/) ​**Note** We leave on time, and the phone will be off so we cannot communicate with people who are late! Please be respectful for other people who have only one hour time! ​ Full Calendar [https://lu.ma/staaake](https://lu.ma/staaake)

Hares are **One Night Wonder** and **Squatty Potty**! Out with the old, in with the new - it’s time to **ZUM into the New Year**! Join us as we shake off 2025 and kick off 2026 with a fresh hash trail set straight out of **Zumikon** (yes, *Z-U-M*, not Zoom… no screens required 😉). Expect a festive start, a properly laid trail, a chance to stretch the legs, clear the head, and start the year the right way: outdoors, together, and with good vibes all around. New year, new trail, same questionable decisions. Meet at Zumikon Mobility parking. We are trying to arrange dinner at a local pizzeria - updates to come. **On on!** **Where**: Zumikon Mobility near the tram station. Look for English speakers wearing running gear. **When:** We'll meet at 13:50 to start at 14:00. 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.

< \* \* \* English version below \* \* \* > **DE** Neues Jahr, neuer Sketch‑Start: Unser erstes Treffen 2026 führt uns in den Botanischen Garten Zürich. Zwischen Palmen, Farnen und Sukkulenten reizen Strukturen, Muster und Licht. Die drei Schauhäuser, man könnte auch meinen, es wären „Ufos im Garten“ gelandet, bieten klare Geometrien und spannende Perspektiven. Wer möchte, zeichnet in den Gewächshäusern. Wer sich traut kann bei gutem Wetter und mit warmer Kleidung auch den Aussenbereich erkunden. **Treffpunkt**: Vor dem Eingang zu den Gewächshäusern. Von dort verteilen wir uns in die drei Schauhäuser oder in den Park. Bitte bringt euer eigenes Zeichenmaterial und idealerweise einen kleinen Klapphocker mit. Keine Vorkenntnisse nötig. Wir skizzieren rund 2 Stunden, allein oder in kleinen Gruppen – ganz entspannt. Danach treffen wir uns wieder, zeigen unsere Sketches und machen ein Gruppenfoto. Als Leitfaden dienen die Werte der Urban Sketchers: https://urbansketchers.org/de/who-we-are/#mission/ **EN** New year, new sketch start: our first meeting in 2026 takes us to Zurich Botanical Garden. Among palm trees, ferns and succulents, structures, patterns and light catch the eye. The three display houses, which could be mistaken for UFOs that have landed in the garden, offer clear geometries and exciting perspectives. Those who wish to can sketch in the greenhouses. Those who dare can also explore the outdoor area in good weather and with warm clothing. **Meeting point**: In front of the greenhouses entrance. From there we’ll spread out into the three glasshouses or the park. Please bring your own drawing materials and, ideally, a small folding stool. No prior experience required. We sketch for about 2 hours, solo or in small groups. Afterwards we regroup, share our sketches and take a group photo.

Join us as we kick the New Year with a fun Happy Hour and your choice of two fun, new films! Option 1 is the biographical-musical-docu-drama, SONG SUNG BLUE, which stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson in the story about a real-life couple and Neil Diamond Tribute Duo. Option 2 is the comedy-action-adventure ACACONDA, which stars Jack Black and Paul Rudd as part of a group of friends remaking a favorite movie from their youth. Here’s a complete description, trailer and our plan for this event: SONG SUNG BLUE: The film follows Lightning and Thunder, a Milwaukee husband and wife Neil Diamond tribute act, who experience success and heartbreak in their musical journey together. Not a tribute to Neil Diamond, but a tribute to a Neil Diamond Tribute Band! The film is based on the 2008 documentary of the same name and is directed by Craig Brewer. It stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, along with Michael Imperioli, Ella Anderson, King Princess, Mustafa Shakir, Hudson Hensley, Fisher Stevens and Jim Belushi. Critics call the film, “a crowd-pleaser with a ton of heart!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCM0Ztp3o1o ANACONDA: In this action-thriller-comedy-adventure, a group of friends going through a mid-life crisis head to the jungle to remake a favorite movie from their youth but encounter “unexpected events.” The film is directed by Tom Gormican and stars Jack Black, Paul Rudd, Selton Mello, Daniela Melchior, Thandiwe Newton and Steve Zahn. The film is a reimagining of the 1997 original. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMsFsfrPNaw PLAN: PLAN: Here’s the plan: For those seeing ANACONDA, please purchase your ticket for the 5:15pm showing and meet inside the theater lobby between 5:00 and 5:10pm!

Join us as we get the New Year started with one of the best films of the year: THE SECRET AGENT! This political thriller from Brazil is set in 1977 where a man flees from a mysterious past and returns to his hometown but soon finds the city is far from being the refuge he seeks. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: In 1977, a former professor flees from a mysterious past and returns to his hometown of Recife in search of peace. He soon realizes that the city is far from being the refuge he seeks. The film stars Wagner Moura, Carlos Francisco, Tânia Maria, Robério Diógenes, Maria Fernanda Cândido, Gabriel Leone and Udo Kier in his final film role.
