English text below Запазете датата! Ще си задаваме занимателни гатанки, ще хапваме премазни гозби от бара и ще спекулираме за бъдещето на човечеството. Този път централната ни тема е изкуственият интелект - но няма да се ограничаваме само до това, а ще се поизпитаме и по другите ни интересни теми, като биология, физика, философия, религия... и по малко гастрономия. Програма: 19:30 Meet & greet, формиране на отбори, опознаване на асортимента на бара 20:00 Начало на играта - 2 кръга (поне! може и бонус) 22:00 Награждаване и забава Отборите са оптимално от 3 до 6 души, който си няма достатъчно - можем да сформираме отбори на място. Въпросите варират по трудност, ще има по нещо за всеки. Имали сме участници и на 9г, които не бяха на нула точки, така че и вие ще уцелите все нещо - а по-напредналите също не са се оплаквали, че им е скучно. Правилата ще обясним на място, стандартната пъб куиз процедура - всяка маса е отбор и получава листче, на което пише отговорите и накрая на кръга го предава. Освен почестването на мозъчетата и забавленията Църквата иска да ни осигури малко агитация да сме по-заинтересовани в бъдещето на нашата цивилизация и да сме по-активни при насочването му. Искаме бъдещето на света да се решава все повече от мислещи хора, като събралите се тук, от колкото традиционните ни морални авторитети. Бумът на AI технологиите е повод да преосмислим някои социални ценности и смятаме, че пастафарианците заслужават място около масата повече от колкото брадатите ни колеги. Save the date! We will ponder entertaining riddles, eat noodly treats from the bar and speculate about the future of humanity. This time our central topic is artificial intelligence - but we will also cover other interesting topics like biology, physics, philosophy, religion... and a little gastronomy. Agenda: 19:30 Meet & greet, team formation, sampling the bar's selection 20:00 Start of the game - 2 rounds (at least! perhaps a bonus) 22:00 Awards and merriment Optimally form a team of 3 to 6 people, if you don't have enough - we can form teams on the spot. The questions vary in difficulty, there will be something for everyone. We also had 9 year old participants who finished with non-zero score, so rest assured that you will also hit something - and the know-it-alls were not bored either. We'll review the rules in detail during the intro, it's the standard pub quiz procedure - each table is a team and receives a piece of paper on which to write the answers and hand it over at the end of the round. In addition to exercising our brains and having fun, the Church wants to provide us with a little motivation to be more interested in the future of our civilization and to be more active in guiding it. We want the future of the world to be decided more by thinking people, like those gathered here, than by our traditional moral authorities. The boom in AI technologies is an occasion to rethink some social values, and we believe that Pastafarians deserve a place around the table more than our bearded colleagues.

**Our April novel is: *The Hong Kong Widow* by Kristen Loesch** **This month’s novel blends gothic atmosphere with historical fiction and chilling horror, set against the haunting backdrop of China. The book is 368 pages in print and 10 hours and 42 minutes on audiobook.** In 1950s Hong Kong, Mei is a young refugee of the Chinese Communist revolution struggling to put her past in Shanghai behind her. When she receives a shocking invitation—to take part in a competition in one of the city's most notorious haunted houses, pitting six spirit mediums against one another in a series of six séances over six nights, until a single winner emerges—she has every reason to refuse. Except that the hostess, a former Shanghainese silent film star, is none other than the wife of the man who once destroyed Mei’s entire life. It is promised the winner will receive a fortune, but there is only one prize Mei wants: revenge. Decades later, the final night of that competition has become an infamous urban legend: The police were called to the scene of a brutal massacre but found no evidence, dismissing it as a collective hallucination. Mei knows what she saw, but now someone else is convinced they know what she did. She must uncover the truth about the last night she ever spent in that house—even if the ghosts of her past are waiting for her there. . . .

Join us for a tour of Brothers Drake Meadery in Grandview, hosted by the owner Oron Benary. He will explain the mead-making process and offer us generous samples of their fine meads. Mead is basically wine that is made from honey instead of grapes. There are many different flavors that range from dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet, to sweet. They are best known for their Apple Pie Mead. Oron has offered us a special price of 5.00 each person for the tour and tasting, which is normally 25.00 per person. I've taken the tour several times, and it's always enlightening and fun. Rebecca will bring a tea that will pair well with the mead for a tea tasting afterwards. Park anywhere around the building. Please avoid parking in front of the houses in the neighborhood behind the Meadery. Please keep your RSVP current. Knowing how many will attend will help Brothers Drake plan accordingly to accommodate us.

* Second ever book club! April meet up. All are welcome. * The book will be Play Nice by Rachel Harrison (determined by votes from March Book Club. Let me know if you’d like a free digital copy of the book) * This event will be at the main library, meeting room 1B, the location will not be changed for this event due to the number of people attending, we will just add more chairs if needed! * Feel free to come whether or not you’ve started or finished the book ◡̈ * Small snacks will be provided. You’re welcome to bring your own snacks & drinks too! Starting in June I will try to keep future book clubs at the Dublin Library. Now that I understand their reservation system, I will be on top of it with booking that location as soon as the date is released for the month. Thanks for your understanding with the varying locations in the meantime.

**Let’s catch up and take an afternoon break.** **Grab a coffee or snack and let’s chit chat! Gayle and I will bring adult coloring books and/or a simple craft if you’d like to unwind and relax.😊**

Welcome, readers! Our April read is **_Martyr!_ by Kaveh Akbar.** The story follows a young Iranian American poet grappling with grief, addiction, and the aching question of what makes a life meaningful. Drawn into an unexpected friendship with a terminally ill artist, he begins to confront faith, love, and the seduction of self-destruction. Lyrical, darkly funny, and emotionally piercing, the novel wrestles with beauty and despair in equal measure. It’s a story about longing—to be seen, to be forgiven, and to matter. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖

Our next much-awaited **COLUMBUS** meetup is **Tuesday April 21 from 7-10 pm EST at ACE OF CUPS**. Meet patients, cultivators, processors, dispensary managers/staff, physicians, home growers, educators, activists, nonprofits, artists, attorneys, business owners, writers, students, and supporters to network, share our knowledge, collaborate, support each other and make new ones! Hope you will be there too! Save the date and pass the word. **Please RSVP** so we know who is coming and how many to expect. Find us to say hi and we will introduce you to others. We should be easy to spot. (The happy-looking group wearing cool nametags! See photos from our past events.) Sign in, grab a name tag, start your own bar/food tab, meet old friends and make new ones! Everyone is welcome. SEE YOU THERE!
