Think BINGO… but hotter. We’re swapping boring numbers for bangers, adding drinks, and turning game night into a mini party. Join us for Music BINGO, where you’ll mark off songs instead of numbers, belt out throwbacks you forgot you loved, and compete for prizes while sipping your favorite drink. Expect guilty pleasures, sing-along classics, and that song that makes everyone lose their dignity (in the best way). Come solo, bring friends, flirt with strangers — we don’t judge. ✨ Fun beats 🍺 Flowing drinks 😊 Happy Hour prices until 8:00 🎵 Shameless singing 🏆 Prizes worth yelling “BINGO!” for Low pressure. High vibes. Slightly inappropriate dancing encouraged. Grab a glass, grab a card, and let’s see who’s got the best ears (and worst dance moves). THIS EVENT IS STILL HAPPENING REGARDLESS OF WEATHER. SO PLEASE COME OUT FOR A FUN NIGHT!!! 🤩🤩🤩🎆🎆🎆

Why do women do what they do and think what they think? Dr. Louann Brezindine, researcher, clinician, and professor at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), wanted to know. She’s co-writer of the screenplay for this movie, which suggests that the experiences of the main character, a neuropsychologist, reasonably reflect her own. The process and results of her research are dramatized here by co-writer, director, actress, and stand-up comedian Whitney Cummings, so this feature will definitely not be a boring lecture. While classified as a comedy, the movie isn’t filled with laughs but instead with awkward encounters and strained relationships. Along the way, the electrochemical causes and effects of various actions between several couples are explained – with diagrams! ■ Title — *The Female Brain* ■ Director — Whitney Cummings ■ Cast — Whitney Cummings, Toby Kebbell, Beanie Feldstein ■ Unrated, suitable for teens and adults ■ ©2017 \| 1h 38m \| Comedy\, Science ■ Distributed by IFC Films

Just good ole Ultimate Frisbee. Tons of fun. Great group. No stacks. No pick calls (but no picks!!!). Fair warning to those totally new to ultimate: it's a lot of running. \*\*Please pay close attention to the rule #6 listed below. *What to DEFINITELY bring* 1. Running shoes/Cleats 2. One white shirt *and* one dark shirt !!!! See this one !!!! \-\-\- IMPORTANT you can play both dark and white so we can make teams when we get there; just pickup after all 😎 3. Water *What you can ALSO bring* 4\. Snacks & Drinks 5\. Gloves \(winter\) 6\. Sunscreen \(summer\) 7\. Sunglasses 😎 House Rules - 1. Starting Play: Each point begins with both teams lining up on the front of opposite end zone lines. The defense throws ("pulls") the disc to the offense. 2. Scoring: Each time the offense catches a pass in the defense's end zone, the offense scores a point. The teams switch direction after every goal, and the next point begins with a new pull by the team that just scored. 3. Movement of the Disc: The disc may be advanced in any direction by completing a pass to a teammate. Players may not run with the disc. The person with the disc ("thrower") has ten seconds to throw the disc. The defender guarding the thrower ("marker") counts out the stall count. 4. Change of Possession: When a pass is not completed (e.g. out of bounds, drop, block, interception, stalled), the defense immediately takes possession of the disc and becomes the offense. 5. Substitutions: Players not in the game may replace players in the game after a score and during an injury timeout. (Modified depending on the number of the attendees) 6. Non-contact: Players must attempt to avoid physical contact during play. Picks and screens are also prohibited. 7. Fouls: When a player initiates contact that affects the play, a foul occurs. When a foul causes a player to lose possession, the play resumes as if the possession was retained. If the player that the foul was called against disagrees with the foul call, the play is redone. 8. Self-Officiating: Players are responsible for their own foul and line calls. The host will also step in if it is needed. Please message the event host for any questions or concerns. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Smiley Social documents:** 1.
