Meet & Draw – Scent and Color
Join us for a relaxed creative session where scent becomes inspiration :)
We will explore the connection between **natural aromas and visual expression**. A selection of essential oils will be available, and you can intuitively choose one that attracts you. Take a moment to notice what the scent evokes - **colors, textures, memories, or images**.
You can translate your impressions into a drawing or painting. Your work can be **abstract** or represent an object, place, or feeling you associate with the scent.
No drawing experience is needed - just curiosity and openness to experiment.
What to bring: your favorite drawing/watercolor materials and paper.
⚠️ Please note: essential oils will be used during the session - if you have allergies or sensitivities to scents, please take this into consideration before attending.

99 Easy Steps to Austrian Integration | Terence Hartnett Live @TheComedyPub
## [GET TICKETS HERE!!!](https://www.eventbrite.at/e/99-easy-steps-to-austrian-integration-terence-hartnett-live-thecomedypub-tickets-1983481860639?aff=MeetUp)
A fast-paced English comedy show about surviving — and loving — life in Austria.
## An American’s Guide to Becoming Austrian (In Only 99 Easy Steps)
Two years ago, NYC comedian **Terence Hartnett** moved to Vienna for love.
Now, after navigating bureaucracy, Kaffeehaus culture, German grammar traps, recycling rules, and the mysterious emotional rhythm of Austrian friendliness, he’s ready to present his definitive — and completely foolproof — 99-step integration plan.
This is English-language Kabarett meets sharp stand-up comedy — rapid-fire, intelligent, self-aware, and deeply relatable for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider in a new country.
## What the Show Explores
* ☕ **How to Order at a Viennese Kaffeehaus**
(The service is half as attentive as in America… but so is the expected tip.)
* 🚋 **How to Master Public Transport**
(If it looks free, it probably isn’t.)
* 📚 **A1 German Confusion**
(“Wer ist die toilette?” does NOT mean what you think it means.)
* ❄️ **Austrian (Un)Friendliness**
Austrians aren’t unfriendly — they just take three years to decide if they like you.
* ♻️ **Recycling**
Enough said.
Through rapid punchlines, sharp cultural comparisons, and heartfelt storytelling, Hartnett examines the small daily moments where cultures collide — and where humor saves us.
## Cultural Relativity, Explained Through Laughter
Kurt Vonnegut once wrote:
*“Cultural relativity is defensible, attractive. It's a source of hope.”*
As an outsider, Hartnett looks at Austrian culture with curiosity instead of criticism. What seems strange through American eyes becomes funny, thoughtful, and sometimes even beautiful.
There is a lot to love.
A little to resent.
And so much to laugh about.
Through gentle teasing and sharp self-deprecation, **everyone becomes the punchline — including the comedian himself.**
## Who This Show Is For
✔ Expats navigating Austrian life
✔ Austrians curious how they look from the outside
✔ English-speaking comedy lovers in Vienna
✔ Anyone who has ever lived abroad
✔ Fans of smart, cultural, observational stand-up
If you’ve ever struggled with integration, paperwork, language, or just figuring out where to stand on an escalator — this show is for you.
## About Terence Hartnett
Terence Hartnett is a New York City comedian known for blending personal storytelling with sharp cultural observations. His work bridges continents with humor that is intelligent, warm, and quietly philosophical — without ever losing the punchlines.
## Why You Should Come
Because integration is hard.
Because Austria is confusing.
Because cultural differences are funny.
Because laughter makes everything easier.
**99 Easy Steps to Austrian Integration** is a love letter to Austria — written in jokes.
Seats are limited.
Arrive early, grab a drink, and get ready to laugh at the beautiful absurdity of living between cultures.

Deutsch sprechen bei gutem Kaffee
Du sprichst schon gut Deutsch (B2–C1), hast aber wenig Gelegenheit, wirklich zu reden? Dann bist du hier genau richtig! Wir treffen uns in kleinen Gruppen in gemütlichen Wiener Cafés und plaudern ganz entspannt über alles Mögliche, was uns gerade beschäftigt, oder ein vorher vereinbartes Thema. Ziel: mehr sprechen, nette Leute kennenlernen und einfach eine gute Zeit haben. Auch Muttersprachler:innen sind herzlich willkommen, wenn sie Lust haben, neue Leute kennenzulernen und sich auszutauschen.
Die kleine Gruppengröße ist eine bewusste Entscheidung: so können wir uns gut hören, leichter ins Gespräch kommen und die Treffen bleiben übersichtlich und angenehm zu organisieren.
👉 **Ein paar Infos, damit alles gut läuft:**
– Bitte verwende deinen echten Vornamen und ein Profilfoto, damit wir uns beim Treffen leichter finden.
– Melde dich nur an, wenn du wirklich kommen kannst.
– Falls doch etwas dazwischenkommt, ist das kein Problem, aber bitte sag rechtzeitig ab, damit jemand anderes nachrücken kann.
– Die **genaue Location** wird am Vorabend des Treffens an die bestätigten Teilnehmer:innen kommuniziert und in den Kommentaren sichtbar sein.
– Wer ohne Absage nicht erscheint, wird leider aus der Gruppe entfernt. Wir möchten die Treffen zuverlässig und angenehm für alle halten.
Freue mich auf entspannte Gespräche und eine nette, motivierte Runde! 😊
