Fun Social Monday Evening Run in Hellerup
Come join us for a trail social run, jog, walk in Hellerup.
An opportunity to say goodbye to the old house and welcome to the new house (casa). Therefore it will be a "B to A" trail. B and A being very near each other.
There will be corn BBQ and beer served at A after the circle. Bring your own meat and non-alcohol beverage if you like.
We are not a typical running club, so please read about the concept in “about us”.
How it works: we don’t know in advance where the trail will go, but we know it will be fun! A member of the club, the 'hare', sets a trail, usually marked with flour. The rest of us, the 'pack', follows the hare's 'scent', i.e., the marks. There will be a 8-10 km trail for runners with shortcuts down to 5-6 km for walkers and those who need a slower pace. We have no set pace - run/walk as slow or as fast as you'd like. After the run we enjoy some refreshments and socialize.
Come a few minutes before the start so that you can say hi and leave your bag in a designated bag car before we set off at 18:30.
Don’t worry if there are few registrations on Meetup. We have existed for 44 years, and a lot of our members (anywhere from 20 to 50 people) just show up.
Four-legged friends are welcome!
We never cancel.
See you there!

F\*ck the Small Talk has traveled the world from Berlin, London, Lisbon, to Buenos Aires, and has landed now in **Copenhagen!** 😎
ㅤ
**📦 WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?**
FTST is an out-of-the-box **social experience** where strangers come together for an afternoon of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. It’s also a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk!
Join us for **games**, **talks**, and **connections** with **friends you haven’t met yet**. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you've been in **Copenhagen** every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life, this is the place for you. 🙌
**📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?**
We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. After that, we split you up into small groups and start with the conversation rounds (with 3-4 people). We'll have awesome question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. You'll be guided by an experienced host (Valerie, you'll love her!) who'll make sure everything goes smoothly. 🍭

**💛 WHAT THEY SAY**
🗣 “This is the kind of activity **humanity needs every weekend**. Thank you for all.” - *Sonya*
🗣 “F\*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from "Where are you from?" to "When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?" and I think that's beautiful.” - Monika
🗣 "It’s a **wonderful** **experience**, it’s like being a kid again, when you were at the park, playing with other kids, and just decided you were going to be best friends for the next hours. Maybe you’ll never see those kids again. But that hour was amazing because you both opened up and trusted each other." - Sara

**🤓 FAQ**
**• Can I come alone?**
Of course, everyone does!
**• Can I be late?**
Please don't! Late arrivals will disrupt the floooooooow.
**• I signed up but never got an invite. Why?**
We usually get a high volume of sign-ups, yet we like keeping it cozy & only invite around 30 people. Please try again next time if you do not receive an invite - no hard feelings 💛
**• Is this a networking or dating event?**
Nope! Think of us as the *anti-networking* and *anti-speed dating* event. There’s no pressure, no pitches, and no cringy icebreakers. Instead, we create spaces where strangers can connect through fun & meaningful conversations. It’s all about authentic connection, no business cards or romantic expectations required. (doesn’t mean it *can’t* happen, it’s just not the intention!)

Beginner’s Mafia at Social Brew, Summer Games #1
**Overview**
Beginner-friendly Mafia games - learn, play, and meet the community.
**Mafia Summer Sessions** is our seasonal series created especially for new players.
The focus is simple: we help you learn the game, feel confident, and enjoy the experience in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere.
No pressure. No experience needed.
This short video shows how the game works and what to expect at the table - unscripted gameplay: [Watch on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/DUItRqbiJoT/)
\*\*\*
♠️ **What is Mafia?**
If you enjoy Werewolf, Among Us, or *Forræder*, Mafia will feel instantly familiar - but with its own unique depth.
Mafia is a live social deduction game about:
* reading people
* spotting hidden motives
* persuading the table
* deciding who to trust
Each player receives a hidden role. Some players know the truth… others must uncover it.
\*\*\*
🎈 **Perfect for Beginners**
During **Mafia Summer Sessions**, the host slightly slows the pace and explains key moments so new players can follow comfortably.
✔ Rules explained step by step
✔ Questions always welcome
✔ No prior experience needed
Most players understand the flow within their first game.
\*\*\*
**❓ Do I Need to Know the Game?**
No - absolutely no prior experience is needed.
**Most players join solo and are new to the game.**
This event is part of **Mafia Ssummer Sessions**, designed specifically with new players in mind.
The host guides the table step by step, explains key moments, and ensures everyone can follow comfortably. Questions are always welcome.
Just come, try it out, and enjoy the experience.
\*\*\*
🥂**Atmosphere**
Expect a lively but welcoming table with:
* engaging facilitation
* atmospheric background music
* focused but friendly discussion
* plenty of memorable moments
It’s competitive - but always social and inclusive.
\*\*\*
💫 **More Than Just a Game**
Mafia is one of the best social icebreakers.
Many players come for the game… and stay for the people.
**Mafia Summer Sessions** is where many members meet the community for the first time.
\*\*\*
💰️ **Price**
**First-time players:** 50 DKK (one-time introductory evening)
**Regular players:** 125 DKK
**Bring a friend who’s new - you both play for 50DKK each.**

**❗Registration Note**
This event is limited to **17 players**.
I personally confirm all participants in advance to ensure a balanced table and the best possible experience.
Please check your DMs after registering to confirm your participation.

[Eric Rico: From Joints to Gestures: Reading Hands in Unity] (In-Person) #13
Let's get together and listen to **[Eric Rico](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericrico/)** from Unity3D (**From Joints to Gestures: Reading Hands in Unity**).
A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture.
This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape.
Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds.
Eric also runs the **[Columbus Unity User Group](https://www.meetup.com/columbus-unity-user-group/)**. Check it out!
***Bring your laptop and expect to write some (non-AI-generated) code!***
Food and drinks will be available.
**LOCATION:**
6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 300, Dublin, OH 43017
**FREE PARKING:**
