The Wonderful Wines of Piedmont and Liguria!
\*\* This is now a "standing-room only" event \*\*
In order to accommodate everyone, we won't be seated (there will be a few chairs for people who get tired) and we'll try to create a relaxed vibe - but I'll still tell you all about the wines and regions.
I am travelling in North-West Italy in February and will return with wines from independent wineries in Piedmont and Liguria. As well as blockbusters such as Barolo, Barbera and Cortese di Gavi, I’m expecting to source some interesting and delicious varietals such as Pigato, Dolcetto, and maybe some grappa and bubbles!
Of course, I’ll be sure to pick up some local cheeses, truffles, focaccia, pesto, and other regional specialities that pair with the wines.
We'll learn all about this astonishing mountain-river-coastal terroir, and the fascinating history starting with the Celto-Ligurians 600 years BCE and influenced by the Greeks, Etruscans, Romans, and Burgundians.
The whole experience (7 wines and plenty of food) will cost you just €35 - you can pay on the night!
Cheers, Sean

Terrible Football (Wednesday)
Welcome to Terrible Football Berlin!
Do you want to play football but don't want to pay? Are you a bit unfit, a bit old, or a bit Terrible? Want to have a relaxed kick about and a couple of beers after? Then Terrible Football is for you!
Anyone can play: any ability, any age, and any gender. Terrible Football is about miss kicked clearances, sweet half volleys and desperate diving saves. We play in the rain, sun or snow. It's completely free, and always will be. It's open, inclusive and Terrible.
We usually play on Astro (artificial grass) and sometimes on grass, depending on numbers. Bibs, balls, and cones are taken care of! Just bring sporty clothes and a pair of rubber studded football shoes you'll be good to go! You don't need shin pads and we don't allow hard plastic or metal studs.
The exact location of the event is in the Telegram group description (https://t.me/joinchat/OkWQBBcw3b7ptauwrIEfig Still trouble finding us? Send a message in our Telegram group and we'll help you out. You'll also stay up to date with last-minute changes!
See you on the pitch!
... and stay Terrible!

**Menschen mit guten Freunden leben länger, glücklicher und gesünder. Außerdem machen gute Freundinnen einfach Spaß.**
.
Deshalb biete ich Freundschaftsworkshop an.
.
Manche sagen: "Es ist schwierig, in Berlin gute Freundinnen zu finden." Berlin, die Stadt der 1000 Möglichkeiten ... ich kenne das auch.
.
\*\* Dann machen wir einen Workshop!\*\*
1. Maximal 40 Frauen.
2. Eine leichte Moderation führt durch den Abend
3. Ihr lernt Euch kennen und habt Spaß.
4. Wer mag, trifft sich wieder.
.
Du wirst überrascht sein, wie vertraut Du mit vielen nach 3 Stunden sein wirst - so, als ob Ihr Euch schon lange kennt.
.
\*\* 4 Jahre Arbeit - 1 Workshop\*\*
Vier Jahre habe ich geforscht und ausprobiert, wie Menschen Freunde werden & was die Magie der Freundschaft ausmacht. Das Ergebnis ist dieser Abend.
.
Praxisnahe, schnell umsetzbare Tipps, die Du schnell in den Alltag umsetzen kannst. Kleine Happen zur Theorie. - Und vor allem: Kennenlernen & Spaß haben. Wir probieren einfach miteinander aus.
.
Eine Teilnehmerin sagte mal zu mir:
* "Georg, das ist so eine angenehme Atmosphäre. Danke, dass Du das machst."
.
Was soll ich sagen? Stimmt. Das ist mein Anliegen .
.
.
\*\* Diese Methoden kannst Du in Deinen Alltag mitnehmen.\*\*
Ab sofort kannst Du Menschen besser und persönlicher kennenlernen – und damit tiefe Verbindungen und bessere Freundschaften aufbauen.
.
.
**⏰ Die Türen sind offen ab 18:45 Uhr.**
* Deinen Mantel aufhängen, WC, eine Runde schwatzen und los geht's...
.
**❓ Darf ich wiederkommen?**
Es gibt nur wenige Veranstaltungen, bei denen man wirklich miteinander ins Gespräch kommt. Hier schon, mit Tiefgang.
.
Einige kommen immer wieder, um die Details des gut gestrickten Programms zu ergründen - und immer wieder neue Menschen kennenzulernen oder auf bekannte Gesichter zu treffen.
.
Bis es endlich Klick macht und die richtigen Freundinnen gefunden sind.
.
.
\*\* Was bringst Du mit?\*\*
* Etwas zu trinken (z.B. deine Wasserflasche, keinen Alkohol!)
* Du solltest satt sein und vorher gegessen haben
* Bargeld für den Eintritt (10-20 Euro) [oder[ Ticket von Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/nur-fur-frauen-neue-freundinnen-in-berlin-workshop-tickets-1982769849996)]
.
\*\* Der Veranstaltungsraum\*\*
* Wir haben einen wunderschönen Raum im Prenzlberg - im Life Artist Hub
* Gut mit Öffis zu erreichen: Schönhauser Allee (Ringbahn, U2, M1), Eberswalder Straße (U2, M10, M12)
* Vor Ort ist alles ausgeschildert.
.
**Vorsichtshalber hier die Wegbeschreibung:**
* Du gehst in den Hof bis nach hinten durch. Dort ist eine Tür.
* Du klingest bei "Life Artist Hub". Die Tür sollte sofort summen. Öffne die Tür.
* Du gehst in den 3. Stock. Da sind wir.
.
**♂️ Warum moderierst Du als Mann diesen Workshop?**
.
Hi, ich bin Georg. Ich weiß, ich bin ein Mann. Warum moderiere ich dann diesen Workshop?
.
Abenteuer Freundschaft ist mein Beruf. Am Anfang war ich auf Männer-Freundschaften spezialisiert. Überraschenderweise waren 60 Prozent der Newsletter-Empfängerinnen Frauen. Frauen scheinen die Wichtigkeit guter Freundschaften viel mehr zu spüren.
.
Deshalb habe ich letztes Jahr angefangen, Workshops für Frauen anzubieten. Soziale Träger, das Rathaus Schöneberg und das Frauenzentrum Begine haben mich bereits für Freundinnen-Workshops gebucht. Im Frauenzentrum moderiert eine Bekannte die Workshops.... denn da darf ich noch nicht mal rein :).
.
Unseren Workshop werde ich zurückhaltend moderieren. Ich weiß mit der Situation umzugehen. Das ist Euer Raum.
.
Für die Männer gibt es alle zwei Wochen am Dienstag einen Männer-Workshop, der regelmäßig gut besucht ist.
.

.
"Ich war nervös, ob ich wirklich kommen soll. Was sind da für Leute? Mit wem verstehe ich mich? Nach einer Stunde war mir klar: Gute Freundinnen sind gleich. Ich muss mich nicht mit jedem verstehen. Und allein für die Methoden hat es sich gelohnt. Dankeschön!"

"So schnell im Deep Talk. Interessant!"

The Minority Report
The Minority Report is a weekly stand-up comedy show about identity, culture, and the expat experience.
Are you a minority in Europe? Did something weird, awkward, or low-key offensive happen to you this week?
This is the space to vent your feelings about it.
Every week, comedians Bryan Lee and Moe Singleton take the stage to unpack life as outsiders, offering their unique commentary on topics like race, masculinity, relationships, and life between cultures.
Add weekly special guest comedians and “question time” with the audience, and you’ve got Berlin’s most unhinged comedy experience.
🎟️ Want to warm up before the show?
Check out our comedy workshop – a beginner-friendly stand-up class with Bryan and Moe, hosted just before the show.
Let´s play Settlers of Catan
**Give your poker face a rest!**
We’re taking a break from the social deduction and "Liar" games today. Instead of betrayal and accusations, we’re focusing on trading, building, and the eternal quest for brick. Join us for a casual afternoon of **Settlers of Catan**. No lies, just hexes!
**IMPORTANT**It's relaxed playing, nothing for ambitious gamers or people who take it too serious.

Berlin Supperclub
My Second Supper Club in Berlin 🌿
Hi! I’m a Bangladeshi girl living in Berlin, passionate about cooking and sharing food. My roots are in Bangladesh, but as a cook I love exploring flavors from all over the world.
This time, I’m hosting my second supper club, serving home-style Bangladeshi food in a cozy, friendly environment where strangers can meet, eat, and become friends.
✨ This supper club is donation-based (pay as you wish).
Come, enjoy, and support in a way that feels right to you.

Blood on the Clocktower at BRLO Brwhaus!! (beginner/intermediate)
Hi folks, this is the special meetup group for the weekly Sunday Blood on the Clocktower games at BRLO Brwhaus near Potsdamer Platz. We run beginner-friendly and intermediate-level games throughout the afternoon and evening. **Friendly newcomers of all skill levels are welcome, no experience required!**
Our group aims to provide a fun and welcoming space to experience this thrilling game of social deception. **We focus on promoting a positive and fun group atmosphere, where players don’t take themselves or the game too seriously, whether they’re heroically winning or spectacularly losing.** Our players follow the code of conduct for the Berlin Board Gamers group and are expected to treat each other with respect and consideration – “killing with grace, and dying with dignity”.
We are usually able to offer two simultaneous games on Sundays. If you are marked as "attending" in Meetup and are in your seat at 15:00, your place is guaranteed for as long as you want to stay. All other seats are first come, first served. We always run at least one beginner-friendly game of the basic version of Clocktower ("Trouble Brewing") throughout the afternoon and evening. We also usually have enough players for a second intermediate-level game. If you are already very familiar with Clocktower, consider also joining our Tuesday meetup for advanced players, when we play with complex custom scripts and characters.
Blood on the Clocktower is a deep, mechanical game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception… think Werewolf on steroids. Each player receives a unique secret role and plays either for the good team – the uninformed majority, gathering info and working with others to solve the puzzle – or the evil team, the informed minority, scheming to eliminate good players and protect their demon from execution. In our beginner games no prior experience is expected and we will gladly explain the game rules to any newcomers.
We play in English so players should be able to understand and express themselves in English: an exception is possible for one pair of players willing to play together (as a “Revolutionary” pair) where one player can interpret into and out of English. Please let us know in advance if this is the case.
We are very grateful to our wonderful hosts at BRLO, and we ask all our players to support the venue by purchasing some food and/or drink during the event.

Celebrate Meatball Day! (Happy Hour)
**Celebrate National Meatball Day!**
Let's set off on a culinary trail to taste test Italian meatballs! **Carrabbas** happy hour and their wonderful meatball sliders!
**Note:** We'll be in their ***large bar area for Happy Hour pricing*** \- specially priced sangrias\, wine and cocktails alongside several yummy appetizers\. You are welcome to order sunday dinner entrees\, too\.
**What is National meatball day?**
* Whether you prefer the classic spaghetti and meatballs, or just love to pick up a meatball sub for lunch, you are sure to want to celebrate National Meatball Day on March 9 . We may never know who invented National Meatball Day because there are no records of this unofficial holiday being created. But whoever did it was definitely onto something.
Celebrate National Chip and Dip Day!
***Okay, call me crazy but you have got to try their chip n dip!*** Club 85 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.
Mangia at Carfagna's!
Let's gather for lunch at Carfagna's followed by an optional stop in Carfagna's Market to check out the tastes and smells of Italy.
Carfagna's address is 1440 Gemini Pl, Columbus, OH 43240
