Tennis time! 🎾 I managed to book 2 hours, **9.00 - 11.00**! You are free to only play for 1 or 2 hours. Just let me know which hours you prefer. We will play **singles**, and play on rotation (e.g. we play 2 games, then rotate), if we're more than 2 players on the court at any given time. 💪 Some **physical endurance** is **expected and required**. ❗️ Some **technical skill** is **expected and required** \- this is **not** a newbie-friendly event! You don't have to be very good, just not beginner. 🧐 Check this rating system to self-rate your tennis skill: https://assets.tenniscanada.com/production/PDFs/Self-Rating-Guide-English.pdf (mine is: GROUNDSTROKES: 4.5, RETURN OF SERVE: 4.5, NET PLAY: 4.5, SERVE: 2.5 😅 ) ℹ️ I have a spare racket that I can lend, and 5 tennis balls for us to play with. 🚀🎾👀 Any balls launched into orbit are charged with **2€ each**. So, please, don't do it. 🚇 **Location**: The tennis court is located in **Peristeri,** very close to the **Agios Antonios metro station, red line** (10 min by foot). Exact location will be provided for those that are actually going to come, the previous night. ℹ️ Personally, I might be going there **by car**, so I can carpool other attendees, from the Agios Antonios metro station. 💸 **Cost: 5€/hour, per court**. 🕐 Event time! We'll gather outside the entrance of the tennis club **15 minutes prior** to our booked time (e.g. 09.00). To any members that is going to get carpooled: For obvious reasons, please do not be late! 🌧 This event may get cancelled if the **weather is rainy** *(before or during our booked hours - we cannot play in a wet tennis court).* ⚡️ Feel free to follow the group [on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/athenssportsfunactivities/)! ⚡️

Τα τακούνια ξαναχτυπούν πλακόστρωτο και η The Devil Wears Prada 2 έρχεται να μας βάλει ξανά στον λαμπερό, χαοτικό κόσμο της μόδας, εκεί όπου τα βλέμματα είναι πιο κοφτερά κι από editorial review και η Meryl Streep συνεχίζει να σε παγώνει μόνο με μία ατάκα. Αυτή τη φορά η Andy επιστρέφει πιο ώριμη, πιο sharp και πολύ λιγότερο διατεθειμένη να λέει “yes, Miranda”. Μέσα σε glossy ίντριγκες, fashion shows, old rivalries και το χάος του σύγχρονου media κόσμου, η ταινία παίζει ανάμεσα στη νοσταλγία των 00s και στη σημερινή υπερβολή της εικόνας, των trends και της δύναμης. Και honestly… τι καλύτερο από το να το ζήσεις αυτό σε θερινό; 🌙 Η ζέστη αρχίζει να γίνεται γλυκιά, η Αθήνα μυρίζει καλοκαίρι, τα ποτά παγώνουν, και εμείς θα βρεθούμε κάτω από τα δέντρα της Aegli Zappiou Cinema για ένα από εκείνα τα βράδια που μοιάζουν λίγο με ταινία από μόνα τους. 🍷 Μετά την προβολή, συνεχίζουμε με ποτό και κουβέντα. **Κυριακή \| 20:45** Μπορείτε να κλείσετε τα εισιτήρια σας εδώ : https://www.more.com/gr-el/tickets/cinema/aigli-cinema/ Έλα στην παρέα — οι καλύτερες ταινίες βλέπονται μαζί. ‼️**Παρακαλούμε θερμά:** Αν δηλώσεις συμμετοχή και τελικά δεν μπορείς να έρθεις, **φρόντισε να ακυρώσεις εγκαίρως** — μας βοηθά πολύ στον καλύτερο συντονισμό και την οργάνωση της βραδιάς. Συνήθως έρχομαι αργοπορημένη στα events που διοργανώνω!!! οπότε μπείτε , καθίστε και θα συναντηθούμε στο τέλος της προβολής στο ταμείο του κινηματογράφου!!

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

Join us for a practical, beginner-friendly guide to choosing the right large language model. We’ll compare major models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Llama, talk about when to use hosted APIs versus local models, and break down the tradeoffs around cost, speed, quality, privacy, context windows, coding ability, and reliability. You’ll leave with a clearer mental model for picking an LLM based on your actual use case instead of hype, benchmarks, or brand names. No deep AI background required. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
