ZH3 Hash # 1734: The Bad, Badder, BADEN! Hash
Hared by the amalgamation monstrosity Slippery Nob, come join us as we stare death into the eyes and laugh at its feeble attempt at melting us in the blistering summer heat.
You can expect many ups and downs around Baden, followed by an optional On-In at the Fortyseven bath/sauna area where we can truly stress our drunk bodies in even more heat!
Bag drop will be provided, so bring your towel, swimming trunks and desire to melt your skin away!
**Where**:
Bahnhofstrasse 31 5400 Baden AG
Direction to the station
At the station, take the central underpass and head towards Baden Zentrum (east side). At the end of the underpass (in the underground concourse) turn left and walk past the station ticket counters. Leave the concourse between LIDL and the Ledergerber clothing store and head towards the bus station. At the last bus platform, make for the circular ramp and descend it to the parking bays on level -1. The Mobility location occupies bays 20 to 23 and 40 to 45.
Look for English speakers wearing running gear.
**When:**
We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm except on Saturday or Sundays when it is usually 2:00pm.
There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards.
**All Welcome:**
If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know:
• We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is useful.
• The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun.
• 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further.
• The '*Hare*', which changes each event (along with location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time.
• There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change.
• **After Trail**, we group for \~20-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This '*Circle*' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards.
**Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?**
If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it.
'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.*
We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.

Floating Down the Limmat Together
Floating down the Limmat is back to kick-start your summer! 💙💙💙
Bring your boat, air mattress, or inflatable sea creature and tighten your life jacket for an adventure downstream.
🔥🔥🔥At the end of the event, where we end the floating, there is a public grill you can use it to grill or a restaurant where you can order foods and drink.
We'll gather on the grass at Wipkinger Park from 13:00 to prepare for a chill ride down the river. We'll start to depart around 14:00, so we have an hour to socialize and inflate our fleet before we slowly drift our way down to Glazenberg (Grillplatz Allmend).
If you have empty spaces on your boat and are looking for a pirate crew, then please post it on the WhatsApp chat. There are always people looking for a ride ☠️
📱 Join our WhatsApp chat to keep up with the event (everyone can text two days before the event):

_____________
Dieser Circle findet auf Deutsch statt.
Wir kommen zusammen, um im Moment präsent zu sein und uns so zu zeigen, wie wir wirklich sind.

VOYAGE - healing ecstatic dance
**An evening to move, release, reconnect — and return to yourself.**
What if one evening could become a doorway?
A doorway back into your body.
Back into your heart.
Back into the joy, softness, wildness and aliveness that already live inside you.
**VOYAGE** is not just an ecstatic dance.
It is a healing movement journey — a carefully held experience where music, dance, energy work, sound and human presence come together to guide you inward.
This is a space to let the body speak.
To shake off what has become heavy.
To breathe deeper.
To feel more.
To remember your own lightness.
## **What makes VOYAGE unique**
Unlike a traditional ecstatic dance, **VOYAGE includes live energy healing throughout the evening.**
Two experienced healers will hold the energetic field of the group and offer gentle, consent-based hands-on energy work during selected moments of the journey. Through intuitive touch, presence and energetic guidance, they support release, grounding, realignment and deeper integration.
The dance opens the body.
The energy work supports what wants to move.
The sound healing brings everything back into stillness.
Together, these elements create a rare and powerful experience:
**a dance floor that becomes a healing temple.**
## **During the evening, you will be invited into:**
• **Healing ecstatic dance** to free the body and release stored emotions
• **Live energy healing** with two healers in a safe and respectful space
• **Sound healing** to slow down, soften and integrate
• **Healing dance** to explore movement as medicine
• **Consensual healing hugs** to reconnect with warmth, care and human presence
• **Deep integration moments** to land, breathe and receive
There are no steps to learn.
No performance.
No need to look a certain way.
No pressure to be anything other than exactly who you are.
Just your body.
Your breath.
The music.
The moment.
And a warm, alcohol-free space where you are invited to feel, move, release and reconnect.
Come as you are.
Leave lighter, softer, more aligned — and deeply recharged.
**VOYAGE – Healing Ecstatic Dance**
📅 **21.06**
📍 **Rampe 70**
**Tickets: [https://eventfrog.ch/Voyage](https://eventfrog.ch/Voyage "https://eventfrog.ch/Voyage")**
Alcohol-free · Warm atmosphere · Safe held space
**This is your invitation to travel inward.**
**Your body already knows the way.**

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.

AI Agents 101: How to Make ChatGPT Do Actual Work
Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat.
But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review.
In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity.
We’ll cover:
* What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot
* How agents break tasks into steps
* Where agents are genuinely useful today
* Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review
* How to design simple AI workflows for your own work
* A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish
No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now.
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.
Columbus Code & Coffee 87 @ Improving
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!
