👋👌 International Mishmash Meetup - NEW Friendships at R.I.O.T !!! 🍻🍺
Hello Mishmashers 👋
Excited to see you at our next meetup! **We’re changing things up and meeting directly at R.I.O.T.**, one of the coolest spots in town for good conversations, easy socialising, and a bit more fun.
Here’s what you can look forward to:
💬 **Great chats with lovely people!** Whether you’re a local or from the other side of the world, you’re very welcome here.
🌍 **Not a native English speaker?** Awesome. You’ll get to practice with native speakers in a relaxed, no-pressure setting.
🇮🇪 **Are you a native English speaker?** Cool. Chat in English or find someone to practice another language with. Why not mix it up?
✨ We’re a diverse, super-friendly, and inclusive bunch, open to everyone, whether you’re shy, outgoing, or somewhere in between.
🎯 Our awesome organizers are always around to make sure things run smoothly and everyone feels included.
💡 One of the nicest things we hear again and again: even introverts feel at ease here. That’s something we’re really proud of.
🤝 **Instant connections!** You might walk in alone, but you’ll probably leave with new friends.
📅 **This Saturday at 4:00pm!**
We’ll be meeting at **R.I.O.T.**, in a brilliant private space downstairs. It’s a much bigger setup than before, with room for **up to 100 people**, so there’s more space to mingle, move around, meet new people, and settle into conversations naturally.
The vibe is exactly what Mishmash is about: relaxed, international, social, and fun. Great atmosphere, proper pub energy, and plenty of space for chats, laughs, language practice, and spontaneous connections.
📍 **How to find us:**
Come into R.I.O.T. and take the stairs on the left down to the basement room. That’s where the Mishmash crew will be waiting for you.
🎉 **Theme: “International Mishmash”**
A chill space for people from all over, including Ireland, to swap stories, share laughs, and practice languages if you fancy. Shout-out to our lovely Irish regulars!
🍻 And the best part? Since we’re already at R.I.O.T., you can stay on for tasty burgers, proper pints, and more good craic. No need to move venue this time!

French Speaking Practice – Real Conversation & Confidence Building
Do you understand French but struggle to speak naturally when it’s time to respond?
Join a relaxed **French conversation group** where we use **real news stories** as a way to practise **speaking French** in a natural and structured way.
This is not a traditional lesson. It’s a guided conversation space where you **practise speaking** through real-life content.
## 📰 This session’s topic: a real news story
In this session, we will work with a short French news extract about a **train and car collision**.
## 🎥 Before the session
Before the meetup, you will watch a short French news video about a **train and car collision**.
This video will give you the key vocabulary and context so you feel more comfortable speaking during the session.
You will also receive a few simple comprehension questions to help you prepare your ideas.
## 💬 During the meetup
We will use the news story as a starting point for discussion and speaking practice.
You will be guided through conversation questions to help you :
* describe what happened in the story
* report facts in French
* express simple reactions (shock, sadness, surprise…)
* talk about people involved in the event
* situate events in time and space
You don’t need perfect French — the goal is to speak and build confidence.
## 🗣️ Activity format
The session will include :
* group discussion based on the video
* guided speaking questions
* interactive conversation practice
* a final speaking activity / role-play based on the scenario
## 🎯 What you will improve
By the end of the session, you will have practised how to:
* speak more spontaneously in French
* understand and react to real French content
* build confidence when expressing ideas
* move from “I understand” to “I can respond”
## 🌿 Atmosphere
This is a supportive, low-pressure environment. Mistakes are welcome and part of the learning process. The goal is communication, not perfection.
## 👥 Level
Intermediate French learners (you should already understand basic French and be able to form simple sentences).
## ⭐ Free event – feedback appreciated
This is a free session, and your feedback is very important for me as I build these conversation groups.
At the end of the meetup, I’ll kindly ask participants to leave a short review about their experience — it really helps others decide whether to join future sessions.
## 📩 Feel free to join or message me if you have any questions

🌈 Pride Books & Social 🍸
📚 Pride Month is a chance to come together around stories that feel lived-in, complicated, and real, and this discussion invites us to sit with those voices rather than just skim them. Its roots go back to the Stonewall Riots, and since then Pride literature has grown into a bold, varied body of work—from Giovanni’s Room to A single man and Normal People, each capturing different shades of love and identity. As we read, the aim isn’t just analysis but conversation—what resonates, what challenges us, and what these stories say about how people find themselves and each other.
Let's grab a drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and discuss books on pride —whether poetry, fiction, or non-fiction. Bring your physical book or e-reader.
There's no formal structure or agenda—just books and good conversation.💬
It's a perfect place to get book recommendations and rediscover your reading momentum if you've hit a slump. We welcome readers of all backgrounds and interests!
⚠️**Something Happened?**
If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. Even if it seems minor, don't hesitate to reach out to me.
🔍 **How to find us?**
* When I reach the venue, I'll leave a comment in the meetup where the group is seated. Normally, the booking is in my name, so you can ask the staff for the group.
* If you're unable to find us, leave a comment in the meetup page. I'll be able to guide you.
We highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up conversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature and reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event!
As an organizer, I'm always looking for feedback about the event and suggestions for new events, so feel free to suggest ideas to me. 💡
I look forward to seeing you all! 😊

Glenstone Visit
Join us for a peaceful and inspiring Saturday morning at Glenstone on Saturday, June 20 at 10:00 AM!
Nestled in Potomac, Maryland, Glenstone is a unique destination where art, architecture, and nature blend together in a beautifully designed space meant for reflection and exploration. **Admission tickets are reserved; please only RSVP if you are committed to attending and arriving on time. The ticket entry time is 10 AM.**
We’ll spend the morning wandering through the indoor galleries, outdoor sculpture installations, serene walking paths, and landscaped grounds. Expect a relaxing mix of modern and contemporary art, peaceful scenery, and thoughtful conversation with fellow attendees. The campus is quite large, so comfortable walking shoes are highly recommended. Many visitors spend 2–4 hours exploring the grounds and exhibits.
If people are interested, we can go to lunch afterward.

It is irresistible, to enjoy French convo with a glass of wine, appetizers and drinks. The Event is open to all levels of French language, from intermediate to native fluency.
This is mainly a social for Intermediate/Advanced/Native Speakers. It is not as such to learn a language. Beginners, if you want to learn a language, reach out to us ([info@merevents.com](http://info@merevents.com/)). We have a school and will arrange you a class.
***AFTER THE HAPPY HOUR, WE HIT THE DANCE FLOOR! BRING YOUR DANCING SHOES, WE WILL DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY!***
Gonzo's Nose (reunion) @ FNL!!!
**Gonzo's Nose is the most popular party band in the national capitol area. Formed in the summer of 1996 by four musicians from the College of William and Mary, Gonzo's Nose brings solid musicianship to a massive setlist of cover songs, which range from the early 80's up until songs that hit the radio just yesterday.**
**We will meet by the beer tent.**
🏳️🌈 LGBTQ+ Brunch at Amphora in Herndon with Dulles Triangles
What's better than brunch? Brunch with the LGBTQ+ community, of course! Join the Dulles Triangles at 11:00 AM for a dazzling brunch at **[Amphora Diner](http://amphoragroup.com/amphoras-diner-deluxe/)**, located at **1151 Elden St, Herndon, VA 20170**. This is your chance to catch up with old pals, make some new ones, and bask in the glory of a Sunday well-brunched!
Amphora’s menu is as diverse as our community, offering everything from omelets and pancakes to divine bakery treats. Seriously, their pastries are more irresistible than a shirtless Ryan Gosling holding a puppy!
**RSVP Required!** Amphora needs a headcount beforehand, and adding seats at the last minute is like trying to squeeze into last year’s pride outfit—tricky! To ensure you get a seat at the brunch extravaganza, RSVP on Meetup or in the Dulles Triangles Facebook group by the day before. Those who RSVP get priority seating, and we promise not to judge if you show up in sequins. Remember to ask for Dulles Triangles when you arrive. Use the links below to RSVP and secure your spot faster than you can say "mimosas."
This event is usually held on the first Sunday of each month, but check for updates because we like to keep things as flexible as our dance moves. Keep an eye on the current schedule so you don't miss out!
