***Make sure you understand how payment works before signing up (details below)!*** It's too dark to play weekday pickup ultimate outside in the winter, so we've booked a venue to play frisbee indoors! As this is indoors, sadly space is limited (18 people) and it also costs money (£8.50 per session). We'll be playing 2 hours of super casual 5v5 pick-up games. As always, all skill levels/experience are welcome! We're happy to teach if you're happy to learn. You just have to be ready to run around a lot :) ***Signup*** Signup will open to the week before each session (at 20:30 when the previous session ends!) - there will be a waitlist if we reach capacity, just sign up and meetup will automatically move you to "going" when someone drops out. ***Payment*** * £8.50 per session Account details are as follows: Hans Erik Crefcoeur 04-29-09 32058497 Please use your name **as it is on meetup** as the payment reference. If you have not paid by **3pm the day before**, we reserve the right to remove you from meetup to allow someone else from the waitlist to attend. **IMPORTANT:** Please keep your RSVP up to date on meetup (even if you are on the waitlist, as a drop out will automatically move you to "going") - don't be a no show and stop someone else from playing! ***Location*** We're playing in the main sports hall of All Saints Catholic High School. ***Other details*** * Afterwards we always head to a pub and have a drink or two :) * Frisbee is a non-contact sport, but the occasional bumps can happen, we're all playing at our own risk In terms of equipment, as it's an indoor basketball court, please bring: * indoor, non-marking shoes (like most trainers) * a light **and** a dark top (for splitting into teams) * water

**Join us at Dr Johnson's House for an evening talk: 'Johnson, Crime and Punishment, in Four Cases'. Tickets include a welcome drink and chance to view Dr Johnson's House.** Join us for a fascinating exploration of Samuel Johnson's entanglements with ideas of criminality and causality. Four experts offer their insights into ways in which Johnson wrestled with wrongdoing, his own, as well as those of other people, and tried to stake out the terms of a shift in the way society addressed and corrected them. Crime was rife in Georgian London, but so too was punishment. In the eighteenth century, you could be hanged for more than 350 offences, including wounding a hawk, fraternizing with gypsies, and defacing some, (but not all) of London's bridges. People were sent to prison for being in debt as was the case with the poet Richard Savage; and street walkers were sent to Bridewells for 'correction', while those who paid them for their services went scot free. Samuel Johnson had a boundless compassion for people in desperate situations, and at the same time, an unwavering sense of Justice. All his life, he vied with the difficulty of reconciling these two pillars of his character, and of good society itself. How successful he was, and how far he influenced the shape of the century that followed, will comprise some of the questions that these series of short talks will raise. **Read more here:** [https://www.drjohnsonshouse.org/post/johnson-crime-punishment-four-cases](https://www.drjohnsonshouse.org/post/johnson-crime-punishment-four-cases) **MEET DETAILS:** **5.50pm: MEET OUTSIDE DR JOHNSON'S HOUSE** **Address:** 17 Gough Square, London, EC4A 3DE **6.00pm: ENTER DR JOHNSON'S HOUSE** **6.00-6.30pm:** Drinks **6.30-8.00 pm:** Talk **8.30pm - Late: PUB SOCIAL (optional)** We'll head to Ye Old Cheshire Cheese pub for a social chit chat over drinks. **Address:** 145 Fleet Street, London, EC4A 2BP **TICKETS:** **You MUST buy a ticket before you sign up to this event.** **Tickets are £20. Please book [here](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/johnson-crime-and-punishment-in-four-cases-tickets-1977387943569).** There is limited capacity for the talk, so we'd recommend getting your ticket as soon as possible. Once tickets are sold out on the Dr Johnson's House website we will close the meetup event to RSVPs. **EVENT WHATSAPP GROUP:** Please join the event WhatsApp group to help you find the group on the day. Link tbc in the Event Comments at least 48 hours before the event. *NB* *Joining this WhatsApp group will make your phone number visible to other members in the group.* **IMPORTANT NOTE:** Please change your RSVP if you no longer attend this event.

**BOOK HERE**: https://sportas.co.uk/games/46847 **Game Description:** We aim to start at 9:00 - please arrive on time to warm ups etc. Structured Scrimmage for advanced players familiar with organised basketball. Team Oriented surroundings. Play Hard , Play Fair **Rules** Rules explained on arrival. full court games with time and score limits.

**Love dancing to hedonistic, high‑energy dance tunes?** Then join for the second edition of our euphoric, high‑octane dance music night as one of France’s and Swiss finest **dance‑music DJs and Producers** drops phenomenal uplifting spiritual, hypnotic melodic grooves for us to lose ourselves in one of the most iconic venues in London’s clubland — **KOKO** \- in Camden\, the home of music\. Collectively \- their music has amassed over 18 million streams\! So expect a proper club‑night experience with inspiring immersive lightshows / lasers for our bodies to sync in harmony to as with gyrate to the **rhythms** of the night. Obviously there will be no uncool "touristy" rubbish but proper dance music - think - ecstasy inducing tunes you'd dance to at other music clubs like Lightbox, Egg, Bagleys, Ministry, Moondance, Fabric, Paradise etc spun by global DJs renowed in the genre. We'll join up to 1,500 other fellow cool young trendy music lovers for a night of blissful musical tranquility, Average age range will be 18 to 35ish but heavily skewed toward 20s men. **Free Tickets limited.** Sorry but if you don't love both uplifting dance music and dancing to it - please don't rsvp and deprive genuine musical dancers an extremely rare free place! And honestly, if you're only gonna stay for less than a couple of hours there's probably no point in coming. You don't need to stay 5am but as per most proper clubs - the real revellers don't usually arrive untill 1ish and the main DJ / music sets don't even kick off till 12 so it's would be waste of a free ticket that you'd normally pay up to £70 quid for! Oh & please don't ask me about 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine - I'm not a biochemist - try your local Boots! **=== Time To Make The Floor Burn But Early ===** The only downside is we have to get in there before 11pm else regular door charge tickets will be about £45-80 quid. If you wanna pay for full price on door/ pre-buy and meet us in there later that's cool too as 10.30pm is understandably way too early to go a club (hence the free tickets) - we can sort out the details later. DM me for the free ticket link. We'll meet beforehand somewhere quieter for pre-drinks, intros, banter and obviously music chats about our previous rave escapades, our fav tunes, and non-music related banter. As Koko gets packed by 2am (1500 standing dancing cap) and we have restricted free tickets - to avoid losing people - a small group size will be optimal for dancing together so limiting RSVPs. Obviously you can dance with the other ravellers once they arrive. Will update with nearby super cheap pre-drinks Camden venue in the location and comments so keep an ear out Lucas The Raver

Welcome to the Art School - 20's & 30's artists Meetup group! This is a community for young artists who are passionate about exploring different mediums and techniques in the world of art. Whether you're a painter, sculptor, photographer, or mixed media artist, this group is the perfect place to connect with like-minded individuals, have a space to work on your craft, and showcase your work. Let's inspire and support each other on our artistic journeys! Whether you're a novice or a seasoned artist, all skill levels are welcome. Join us and unleash your creativity! This month we will be discussing **Frank Santoro**, an American cartoonist, painter, and comics critic known for his expressive lines, experimental page layouts, and vibrant use of color. His graphic novels—including *Storeyville*, *Pompeii*, and *Pittsburgh*—blend personal storytelling with innovative visual structure, often exploring memory, place, and relationships. In addition to his comics, Santoro has been an influential voice in comics education and criticism, co-founding the magazine *ComicsComics* and creating the **Santoro Correspondence Course for Comic Book Makers**, which has helped train and inspire a new generation of cartoonists. Afterwards, we will have time to work on our individual art projects, hang out, and if anyone is interested in feedback on their work, there will be time for that as well.

This 1967 film is widely regarded as one of the best American movies ever made. Now remembered almost as much for its Simon and Garfunkel music as its deadpan comedy and being the role that established Dustin Hoffman as the hottest actor in Hollywood. It became a cultural icon for capturing the spirit of 60s angst of a young man on the make, while garnering a batch of Oscar nominations. After watching the movie on your own, join us to relive (or experience!) those feelings at our discussion.

12:45-3:45 in the Meeting Room on the library lowest level. Bring your yarn projects, meet new friends. If you plan to attend, please RSVP yes. If you can’t attend, please change your RSVP to no. This helps anyone who is waitlisted and it allows me to have an accurate count of attendees as our space is quite limited. Plenty of parking in the lot, in the overflow lot across the street, and on the street. See you there! Winter Note: If the weather is bad and I have to cancel the Meetup, i will issue the cancellation not later than 3 p.m. of that day.

So this month's prompt is more general. I think we can all agree that we are living in "unique" times that require coping skills. I think that one role and/or purpose of philosophy is to help us deal with our daily lives and our "unique" times. So, let's share our feelings and thoughts about which philosopher/philosophy we turn to in order to deal with our crazy events. Who/what helps you stay focused in your daily life and helps you sleep at night. I find that Stoicism with a little philosophical pessimism mixed in goes a long way in helping me deal with what I see as very destructive, fearful and mean spirited public policies at both the state and federal levels. Hope to see you on March 28th!

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! Tonight's a special one; this is "Long form" night! Most nights here at Improv Meetup, we play "short form" games, where the host has established rules that the players must adhere to. These scenes frequently do not tell a connected story and are focused on following those rules; games such as "Alphabet Game" where every next sentence needs to start with the next letter of the alphabet, or "Interrogation" where it's a guessing game. Tonight is focused on "long form", where we will see groups of people come up and do a sort of improvised play. There may be rules to the structure itself to adhere to, or it may be more free form, but doing this allows players to establish a shared world, and to establish characters and callbacks. While your average game may last 2-3 minutes, a long form set will last much longer, and have 4+ people involved. This may be a more complicated night, but we will make sure you feel supported to try this out. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

Jimmy V's Grill & Pub in Grandview Heights. You are responsible for your own meal/drinks.

You may not know it, but we are! We're in your schools, diners, police force, military, government, and some are even still in your churches! So come and join us and meet other local atheists, along with agnostics, heathens, humanists, skeptics, and anyone else who's 'hell bound'! Vision: a Central Ohio that accepts atheism as a viable alternative in all areas of public and private life. Mission: grow, support, and provide community for atheists in Central Ohio. Social meetings held most Tuesdays at a local pub/restaurant at 7:00 PM (and often into the wee hours). Attendees call themselves agnostics, skeptics, humanists, non-theists, deists or even theists.
