"Zu höherem Bewusstsein erwachen!" - Jeden 2. FR im Monat
Wenn Sie **HU** (gesprochen Hjuu) täglich zwanzig Minuten lang mit Liebe singen, beginnen sich die Bande und Fesseln zu lösen, welche die Seele einengen. Nicht alle auf einmal, sondern sehr langsam, in einem Tempo, das Sie verstehen und annehmen können. Während diese Bindungen gelöst werden, wächst die Seele in spirituelle Freiheit hinein, für mehr Freude, Weisheit und Frieden.

99 Easy Steps to Austrian Integration | Terence Hartnett Live @TheComedyPub
## [GET TICKETS HERE!!!](https://www.eventbrite.at/e/99-easy-steps-to-austrian-integration-terence-hartnett-live-thecomedypub-tickets-1989314271537?aff=MeetUp)
A fast-paced English comedy show about surviving — and loving — life in Austria.
## An American’s Guide to Becoming Austrian (In Only 99 Easy Steps)
Two years ago, NYC comedian **Terence Hartnett** moved to Vienna for love.
Now, after navigating bureaucracy, Kaffeehaus culture, German grammar traps, recycling rules, and the mysterious emotional rhythm of Austrian friendliness, he’s ready to present his definitive — and completely foolproof — 99-step integration plan.
This is English-language Kabarett meets sharp stand-up comedy — rapid-fire, intelligent, self-aware, and deeply relatable for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider in a new country.
## What the Show Explores
* ☕ **How to Order at a Viennese Kaffeehaus**
(The service is half as attentive as in America… but so is the expected tip.)
* 🚋 **How to Master Public Transport**
(If it looks free, it probably isn’t.)
* 📚 **A1 German Confusion**
(“Wer ist die toilette?” does NOT mean what you think it means.)
* ❄️ **Austrian (Un)Friendliness**
Austrians aren’t unfriendly — they just take three years to decide if they like you.
* ♻️ **Recycling**
Enough said.
Through rapid punchlines, sharp cultural comparisons, and heartfelt storytelling, Hartnett examines the small daily moments where cultures collide — and where humor saves us.
## Cultural Relativity, Explained Through Laughter
Kurt Vonnegut once wrote:
*“Cultural relativity is defensible, attractive. It's a source of hope.”*
As an outsider, Hartnett looks at Austrian culture with curiosity instead of criticism. What seems strange through American eyes becomes funny, thoughtful, and sometimes even beautiful.
There is a lot to love.
A little to resent.
And so much to laugh about.
Through gentle teasing and sharp self-deprecation, **everyone becomes the punchline — including the comedian himself.**
## Who This Show Is For
✔ Expats navigating Austrian life
✔ Austrians curious how they look from the outside
✔ English-speaking comedy lovers in Vienna
✔ Anyone who has ever lived abroad
✔ Fans of smart, cultural, observational stand-up
If you’ve ever struggled with integration, paperwork, language, or just figuring out where to stand on an escalator — this show is for you.
## About Terence Hartnett
Terence Hartnett is a New York City comedian known for blending personal storytelling with sharp cultural observations. His work bridges continents with humor that is intelligent, warm, and quietly philosophical — without ever losing the punchlines.
## Why You Should Come
Because integration is hard.
Because Austria is confusing.
Because cultural differences are funny.
Because laughter makes everything easier.
**99 Easy Steps to Austrian Integration** is a love letter to Austria — written in jokes.
Seats are limited.
Arrive early, grab a drink, and get ready to laugh at the beautiful absurdity of living between cultures.

Short gravel bike tour through Lobau and beyond
We start our tour at the **northern end of the Steinspornbrücke**, an ideal starting point for exploring the Lobau.
**Route and terrain:**
The tour takes us through the beautiful nature of the Lobau, part of the Nationalparks Donau-Auen as well multiple farmfields in the south-western Marchfeld. The terrain consists of **90% gravel and crushed stone paths**, which vary in thickness. It is therefore important that your bike is suitable for such conditions (e.g., **gravel or mountain bike**). The route is very flat.
**Length and pace:**
The total distance is approximately **35 km**. We will ride at an **average minimum speed of 21-23 km/h**, which is a moderate pace for experienced cyclists. Please only participate if you feel fit enough to do so!
**Sun exposure and breaks:**
A major advantage of this tour is that **70%** of it is in the **shadow**, which is particularly pleasant on warm days. About halfway through the route, we have the opportunity to **refuel our water bottles** at the **Radlertreff Hermi**.
**Distance:** 35 km
**Elevation gain:** close to none
**Maximum elevation:** N/A
**Tempo:** 21-23 km/h
**Link to the route:** https://www.bergfex.at/sommer/wien/touren/wanderung/5288930,lobau-and-beyond-gravel/
**Notes:**
Please bring enough water and maybe a small snack.
A helmet is recommended for safety reasons.
Before the tour, check that your bike is in good working order (brakes, tires, gears).
Let's enjoy a sporty bike tour through the Lobau and beyond together!

Run+B-fast
Hi Running fellows,
Whether you’re a walker, new to running, a semi-pro, a marathonist or a sprint star - if you want to start your weekend in an active way and enjoy the outdoors in lovely surroundings with a fun, international and multilingual group of people, you are welcome to join us!
Every Saturday at 9:30 am, we meet, we run, in the magnificent Schönbrunn park, and then we go for breakfast.
Want to discuss politics or the best recipes for banana pancakes? Not a problem. Not feeling social? Tune out with your earbuds - we can talk over breakfast. We are casual. You can be too.
What to expect: Start by meeting Adrian, Ali, Liz, Paul and Sonia on-time at 9:30am outside the Schönbrunn U-Bahn stop (exit Grünbergstraße). (Coordinates: 48.1858130, 16.3200640) From there, we walk to the side park entrance where the “running” part begins. The important thing is that you run at your own pace. Typically, small groups of people will run at the same pace as you, so you never have to walk/run alone :)
We finish one hour later, at about 10:40am, reconvening just inside the Hietzinger Tor exit. (Coordinates: 48.1858825, 16.3032647). From there, we’re off to breakfast!
Breakfast Details: Anker bakery opposite the U4 Hietzing station and depending on the weather, grab something for a picnic in Schönbrunn park, or hang out in the bakery. If you missed us earlier, you can always go there around 10:45.
We are a fun group of runners who don’t take things too seriously. We meet, chat, RUN, stretch, chat, EAT and we hang out over a beer every now and then. It's that easy. Please join us for breakfast after the run! The more the merrier.
Typically we are 10-30 people, as not everyone who comes signs up on meetup.
Important disclaimer: Please only run as much as you feel you can, considering the temperature, weather conditions, your own fitness etc... run and walk at your own pace as the organizers do not assume any liability for any injuries or health issues. Sonia, Adrian, Ali, Paul and Liz

Café de la Lengua Española (en Rüdigerhof)
Como ya empieza a hacer calor, he pensado que sería buena idea celebrar el evento en un local con terraza.
Para esta ocasión he reservado en Rüdigerhof (Hamburgerstraße 20, 1050 Wien).
En Rüdigerhof ya estuvimos el pasado verano en dos ocasiones, y este verano es el local elegido para empezar la temporada de verano.
Rüdigerhof se encuentra a pocos metros del Naschmarkt (U4 Kettenbrückengasse).
**En Rüdigerhof** no aceptan tarjetas, y **solo se puede pagar en metálico**.
Si el tiempo acompaña (y eso es lo que esperamos todos), nos sentaremos en la terraza.
He hecho una reserva para 20 personas y, por cuestiones de logística, es conveniente llegar puntual.
En este verano tengo la intención de celebrar el evento en distintos locales con terraza (así que si no vienes, te lo pierdes).
Ante cualquier duda, especialmente si es tu primera vez, puedes mandarme un WhatsApp: +4369010297300.
El evento tiene la función de que nos juntemos para pasar un rato divertido.
No olvides compartir el evento con otras personas interesadas.
También tenemos un grupo de Facebook:

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
