Monthly Baden Drinks
Let's ease into the weekend together at **MischMasch** on **Friday 13.03.**
MischMasch is a former Citroën workshop refurbished into a small brewery, only open on Fridays. It has a nice informal living room feeling, ideal for us to meet at the end of the week. You get to tap your own beer if you are you into beer (plenty of other drinks as well, including non-alcoholic) and they serve amazing Korean food. What else do you want in life?
Hope to see you all there,
Cheers,
Moniek
**💬 Baden WhatsApp Community**

Fast Friending - Meaningful Connections! (21-40/Bring a lady free)
As we grow into adulthood, forming meaningful relationships becomes more challenging. In a city like Zurich, life moves fast — and while you may meet many people, finding genuine connection isn’t always easy. That’s why Fast Friending exists: to create intentional spaces where real relationships can begin.
Our Fast Friending evenings in Zurich are thoughtfully designed to help you move beyond small talk and into meaningful conversations. No awkward networking — just a relaxed, welcoming environment where like-minded ladies & gents can connect naturally and build friendships that truly matter.
**You will need to buy a ticket for attending -**
[https://zurich14thmarch.eventbrite.co.uk](https://zurich14thmarch.eventbrite.co.uk)

TICKETS:-
Early bird - CHF 10
Regular ticket - CHF 15
Cash at the meetup - If you have not purchased your ticket in advance then you can pay CHF 20 per person in cash on the day of the meetup to Julianne (Please bring exact change)
'Fast friending' is our fun and quick way to help you make new connections quickly with both ladies and gentlemen. These are people in the age group of 21 and 40 and so you will be on a similar wavelength. Naturally you can always choose who to speak with based on your preference!
**Here’s how your evening will flow:**
**7:00 PM – Welcome**
Arrive at 7:00 PM and be welcomed by your host, Julianne, who will guide the evening and help with introductions. Feeling shy? Come a little early and she’ll ease you into small-group conversations. You’re also welcome to bring a lady friend along for free.
**7:30 – 8:30 PM \| Fast Friending**
Chat with a new attendee every 3 minutes, ensuring you meet a variety of like-minded ladies and gentlemen.
**After 8:30 PM \| Open Mingling**
Reconnect with those you enjoyed speaking to and continue meaningful conversations at your own pace
If you are a bit shy or anxious then please come early. Julianne will help you meet other members in a small group and help you settle down and get comfortable.
\- We are not a close knit tight group\. Our evenings are warm and comfortable for members attending for the first time and those coming alone\. You will not feel alone\!

It is about new friendships and connections\. Naturally\, new friendships can lead to dating or romantic connections\, but that is not our focus\.

Geburtstag Event apero mit Dinner
**Ich Feier mein 36 Geburtstag und könnte noch 4 Personen einladen würde mich freuen auch heute in meinem Alter kennen zu lernen Empfang apero und anschliessend Dinner**
🫖🗣️ Poet-tea: The Lyric Parlour
🕯️ An intimate Sunday afternoon of eloquence, tea, and rhythm in the Dada atmosphere.
**Join us for a gentle and inspiring spoken word and reading session at the legendary Cabaret Voltaire** — the historic birthplace of the Dada movement, nestled in Zurich’s Old Town.
📚 We will gather in the quiet library on the second floor to explore the power of the human voice. This is not a competition, nor an open mic with stage pressure. It is a shared sanctuary to explore voice, language, and presence.
🎶 In a supportive atmosphere, we will discover the alchemy of our voices:
* We will select and read poetic texts together.
* We’ll experiment with intonation, rhythm, pauses, and emotions.
* We’ll explore how a text transforms depending on how it is spoken.
🗣️ If you wish, you are warmly invited to bring your own text to read or declaim for the group.
No need to be a performer.
No need to be a native speaker. Curiosity and openness are all that’s required.
🪑 Whether you love poetry, theatre, or spoken word — or simply want to gain confidence using your voice in English — you have a seat at our table.
Come speak where history was made!
🍷 Let’s gather and create an eloquent community for an afternoon.
As a thank you to our hosts, please support the venue by ordering a drink.
⌚️ **When**: Sunday, March 15 | 1:45 PM – 3:30 PM
📍 **Where**: Cabaret Voltaire, Dada Library (2nd floor)

The War Room: Intro to War Gaming at The Arcane Foundry ($15 Regiment)
**⚔️ Introduction to Wargaming & Painting Miniature Soldiers at The Arcane Foundry ⚔️**
Join me in **The War Room at [The Arcane Foundry](https://share.google/S5i6DYJnJteHWeKtd)** for a laid-back evening of hobby talk and tabletop fun! For just **$15**, you’ll get a **3D-printed regiment of 20 high quality resin models** of your choice to paint — a **$40 value!** Bring your creativity, relax, and let’s make something awesome together.
This is a limited time promotional offer. All regiments are made to order and require **4-5 hours of production time**, so please give me at least a **5 day notice**, so I can have them ready for you!
All miniatures are printed with a commercial license.
**Choose one from Below:**
* 20 Orc Warriors
* 20 Empire Soldiers
* 20 Dwarf Warriors
* 20 Elf Spearmen
Step into a world where strategy meets artistry — and where every painted figure tells a story of battle, honor, and imagination. Join **Daclaud** at **The Arcane Foundry** for an evening that introduces newcomers and enthusiasts alike to the timeless craft of **tabletop wargaming** and **miniature painting**.
My own journey began with a fascination for fantasy — knights in armor, grim and hardened warriors, and monstrous creatures locked in epic battle. That passion led me to **Dungeons & Dragons**, where I painted my first **Basic Heroes set** and felt the spark that comes from bringing a character to life in miniature form. Not long after, I discovered **Warhammer Fantasy** and **Warhammer 40,000**, and I was hooked. The vision of vast armies clashing across the table — each unit meticulously painted, each story unfolding through dice and imagination — became my creative obsession.
During this event, we’ll explore the **origins of wargaming**, from its early military simulations to the richly detailed worlds of modern tabletop battle systems. You’ll learn how to **build and customize your own armies**, paint your first figures, and experience the joy of turning strategy and storytelling into a hands-on art form.
Whether you’re drawn by the lore, the hobby, or the thrill of commanding miniature legions, this introduction will open the gates to a world that has captivated hobbyists for generations.
**🎨 RSVP today and join us at The Arcane Foundry — where every brushstroke and battle tells a story.**
Celebrate National Chip and Dip Day!
***Okay, call me crazy but you have got to try their chip n dip!*** Club 185 is a true hidden gem in German Village! Seriously, old school, good comfort food and drink. We will try to gather in spaces near the windows. While we'll share Chip n Dip, you'll want to order a sandwich, too.
**Where the Chip Began (1817)**
Potato chips can be traced back to an English chef, William Kitchiner, who includes ‘crisps’ in his bestselling cookbook, “The Cook’s Oracle.”
**Chip and Dip Popularity**
The popularity of chip and dip skyrockets at the end of World War II with new entertainment fads and the introduction of Lipton’s new advertising campaign for their famous French Onion Dip. (Club 185 doesn't openly admit it, but I'm pretty sure that's their dip recipe!)
**[Club 185](http://club185.com/)**—a true neighborhood bar serving since 1954, when it was known as a local 'speak-easy'. Located in German Village, Club 185 features a menu of quality casual comfort food and full bar. From politicians to lawyers, hardhats to hipsters—all find Club 185 the perfect place to tame their hunger and quench their thirst!
**PARKING**: I know, brick street parallel parking can be a pain. Two other choices, metered parking along Livingston heading towards Children's Hospital or across the street in the large church lot (park in spaces farthest away from the church entrance doors, closer to the street).
**PRE-EVENT**: **HAPPY HOUR (3-5pm)**: Italian drinks and bites at [Cento's happy hour](https://centogermanvillage.com/menus/), nearby.
