Fun Karaoke
Fun Karaoke
🙈 **“Yo no voy a karaoke porque canto mal…”** Error. El karaoke **no es un concurso de La Voz**. Aquí nadie juzga, ¡solo aplaudimos la valentía y nos reímos juntos! 🎶✨ 🙅 **“No me gusta cantar…”** Perfecto, entonces ven a **reírte, a animar a tus amigos, a bailar y a disfrutar de la buena vibra**. El karaoke no es solo para cantar, es para soltar el estrés y pasar una noche diferente. 💃🕺 😅 **“Me da vergüenza…”** Pues justo por eso deberías venir. El karaoke es como una terapia divertida: cantas, gritas, te liberas… ¡y nadie te va a juzgar porque todos estamos igual! 👉 Piénsalo así: si te pagaran por cantar, tendrías que hacerlo bien. Pero aquí eres tú el que paga, así que cantas como quieras. Desafinado, fuerte, bajito, solo o con coro improvisado… ¡todo vale! 🙌 🌟 **El karaoke es el mejor evento del mundo** porque convierte las penas en risas, la timidez en fiesta y las canciones en recuerdos inolvidables. ¿Listo para vivirlo? 🎤💥 Ven a cantar y compartir tus canciones favoritas!!! ESTEJUEVES **a las 20:00h** nos juntamos en Weekend para una noche única de karaoke. Prepárate para cantar, reír y disfrutar en un ambiente divertido y acogedor con un grupo reducido de **entre 15 y 30 personas.** 👉 **Organización del evento: 5€ Bizum +34 669979928** 📍 **Dónde:** Weekend Karaoke, entrada con bebida 8€ 🕗 **Cuándo:** Este jueves a las 20:00h \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🙈 *“I don’t go to karaoke because I sing badly…”* Wrong! Karaoke is **not The Voice**. Nobody’s judging — we’re here to cheer for your courage and laugh together! 🎶✨ 🙅 *“I don’t like singing…”* Perfect! Then come to **laugh, cheer for your friends, dance, and enjoy the good vibes**. Karaoke isn’t just about singing — it’s about letting go of stress and having a different kind of night out. 💃🕺 😅 *“I’m too shy…”* That’s exactly why you should come. Karaoke is like fun therapy: you sing, you shout, you let yourself go… and nobody judges you because we’re all in the same boat! 👉 Think of it this way: if someone was paying *you* to sing, you’d have to be good. But here *you’re the one paying* — so sing however you want! Off-key, loud, soft, solo, or with an improvised choir… it all works! 🙌 🌟 Karaoke is the best event in the world because it turns sadness into laughter, shyness into a party, and songs into unforgettable memories. Are you ready to live it? 🎤💥 Come sing and share your favorite songs with us!!! 🎶 **THIS Thursday at 20:00** we meet in the **WEEKEND KRAOKE** for a unique karaoke night. Get ready to sing, laugh, and enjoy in a fun, cozy atmosphere with a small group of **15 to 30 people**. 👉 **Organization: 5€.

St Patricks Day Party at an Irish Pub!
St Patricks Day Party at an Irish Pub!
**This is the biggest party in town!** ***Come help us enjoy the luckiest day of the year!*** The Irish Pub and outside overflow tent have Irish Beer, Whiskey and Food. Inside the giant tent the best local Irish bands perform while Irish dancers parade by and the Columbus fife and drum invade each late afternoon. **COVER CHARGE: $20.00** **4pm** - [Drowsy Lads](http://www.thedrowsylads.com/) Named as “The Best Irish-American Band” the 20 year performing veterans have galvanized their place amongst Irish and folk music’s must see acts. You’ll have a blast… and the band will be arm in arm beside you! **7pm** \- Ladies of Langford Since 1995, [Byrne’s Pub](https://byrnespub.com/) has served as a Grandview hub for all things Irish. In fact, co-owner Pat Byrne even operates a line of craft Irish whiskey, known as Bua. The Grandview Spot is also a huge patron of both Celtic music and bluegrass, as live musical guests from both genres perform at Byrne’s on the regular.
Contra dance with Big Scioty on March 7 - First Congregational Church
Contra dance with Big Scioty on March 7 - First Congregational Church
**Caller: Frank Buschelmann** **Band: The Rosenthorns** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for March is "Our Bodies, Ourselves" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
