FRIENDLY KARAOKE for Bad Singers (🇨🇵🇨🇮🇪🇦🇮🇹🇬🇧🇳🇴🏴☠️🇱🇷)
Ciao a Tutti! 🙂
Welcome to the Karaoké Friendly group French and Expats!
At KaKaoké, there are 3 microphones and we all sing together. Don't worry if you're not like Gaga or Freddie Mercury, because nobody is here 😂! We're all friends, so feel free to tell others! 🤩🥳
🍹Prices of Drinks:
Beer: €6
Cocktails: €8 (for the ladies, as it's happy hour all night)
Wine and soft drinks: I think between €4 and €5.
🍕You can also order pizzas to eat in.
💵Karaoke is TOTALLY FREE and a drink purchase isn't mandatory, but it's nice to buy at least one drink for the bar that is hosting so we can continue to sing this bad every week. Credit cards accepted for purchases of €10 or more.
📍Where:
Tennessee Bar
12 Rue Andre Mazet
Paris
(Metro Odeon or St. Michael)
🕘 When:
EVERY MONDAY

Soirée de Noël / Christmas Party with GAMES
Vous êtes dispo le 24 décembre pour le Réveillon de Noël ? Venez passer un moment fun et convivial autour des jeux de société ! Portez un pull festif si vous le souhaitez (perso, je serai habillée pour l'occasion).
Venez seul(e) ou en binôme et on formera des groupes sur place.
Exceptionnellement, il n'y aura pas de tarif d'entrée pour accéder au café et notre collection de jeux (joyeuses fêtes ;) ). Nous vous demanderons juste de prendre au moins une boisson si vous le pouvez financièrement parlant (indice : il y aura du chocolat chaud).
Cet événement commencera à 19h30 et terminera un peu après minuit.
\*Comme je serai seule derrière le comptoir, je ne ferai pas d'hotdogs ni de planches (ce qu'on propose en temps normal) ! À la place vous pouvez RAMENER DE PETITES CHOSES A PARTAGER si vous le souhaitez ! Nous avons vaisselle et serviettes sur place, et on mettra tout sur le comptoir style apéro-dinatoire géant.

Are you free on December 24th for Christmas Eve ? Come hang out and play board games !
This event is for people alone or with a friend who want to meet others, discover board games, and have a good time. Oh and also maybe wear a silly holiday sweater and drink hot chocolate (not required, but I will definitely be wearing an ugly sweater).
Happy Holidays! This special holiday event is free ; there will be no entry fee for the café and access to our board game collection. We just ask that if you can afford it, you purchase at least one drink while at the café (yes, hot chocolate will be an option).
This event will start at 7:30 p.m. and go until a little after midnight.
\*I'll be running the café alone, so I won't be serving our usual hotdogs or dips. Instead, feel free to BRING A SNACK TO SHARE! We'll set out all the stuff people bring potluck style on the counter, and we have plenty of cutlery and dishes.

2026 Kick-Off: SONG SUNG BLUE or ANACONDA at Lennox Phoenix Theater!
Join us as we kick the New Year with a fun Happy Hour and your choice of two fun, new films! Option 1 is the biographical-musical-docu-drama, SONG SUNG BLUE, which stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson in the story about a real-life couple and Neil Diamond Tribute Duo. Option 2 is the comedy-action-adventure ACACONDA, which stars Jack Black and Paul Rudd as part of a group of friends remaking a favorite movie from their youth. Here’s a complete description, trailer and our plan for this event:
SONG SUNG BLUE: The film follows Lightning and Thunder, a Milwaukee husband and wife Neil Diamond tribute act, who experience success and heartbreak in their musical journey together. Not a tribute to Neil Diamond, but a tribute to a Neil Diamond Tribute Band! The film is based on the 2008 documentary of the same name and is directed by Craig Brewer. It stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, along with Michael Imperioli, Ella Anderson, King Princess, Mustafa Shakir, Hudson Hensley, Fisher Stevens and Jim Belushi. Critics call the film, “a crowd-pleaser with a ton of heart!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCM0Ztp3o1o
ANACONDA: In this action-thriller-comedy-adventure, a group of friends going through a mid-life crisis head to the jungle to remake a favorite movie from their youth but encounter “unexpected events.” The film is directed by Tom Gormican and stars Jack Black, Paul Rudd, Selton Mello, Daniela Melchior, Thandiwe Newton and Steve Zahn. The film is a reimagining of the 1997 original. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMsFsfrPNaw
PLAN: We’ll kick off the event with a pre-show Happy Hour at nearby Bravo! We’ll confirm the details and exact meeting time once we get the showtimes, but planning for 5 to 5:30pm for the Happy Hour and a 7pm-ish showing of both films. For the movies, we’ll meet inside the lobby area about 20 minutes before showtimes! Once showtimes are announced, advance ticket purchase is advised. Once you have yours, please list your Movie of Choice and seat number in the Comments below. Complete details will be confirmed and announced as the date gets closer.
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Highbanks After Dark: Christmas Lights
**Summary**
I love hiking [Highbanks](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/highbanks/) in the winter after the sun has gone down. Highbanks is never really dark -- there's too much ambient light from Lewis Center. But I love the trails at night. When I started hiking Highbanks, I was afraid of getting lost and particularly at night. But now that I know my way around, nighttime is one of my favorite times to hike there.
In addition, near the end of our hike, we will take a few minutes to walk around the Nature Center and look at the Christmas lights. (The Nature Center itself will be closed, however, by the time we get to it.)
We will meet next to the restrooms at the [Big Meadows Picnic Area](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/HBK_Web_1980.png). They're all the way at the back of the park, and they can be found at coordinates [40°09'06.6"N 83°02'30.2"W](https://www.google.com/maps/place/40%C2%B009'06.6%22N+83%C2%B002'30.2%22W/@40.151828,-83.0423587,214m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m10!1m5!3m4!2zNDDCsDA5JzA4LjAiTiA4M8KwMDEnNDUuMSJX!8m2!3d40.1522222!4d-83.0291944!3m3!8m2!3d40.151827!4d-83.041715?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTIwNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) (near the playground and the zip line).
We'll hike about 5 miles on the Dripping Rock and Overlook Trails. Afterward, we'll head over to [Olentangy River Brewing](https://www.olentangybrew.com/) for drinks and [food](https://www.olentangybrew.com/eventsandfood). Last year, the weather wasn't too terrible, and the Brewery had their patio fire pits going and we were able to sit outside. The fire pits at night are kind of amazing.
The actual address of the brewery is [303 Green Meadows Dr S, Lewis Center, OH 43035](https://www.google.com/maps/place/303+Green+Meadows+Dr+S,+Lewis+Center,+OH+43035/@40.1551938,-83.0144045,17.25z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x8838f395cef06c97:0xe407de61b3e30069!8m2!3d40.1551765!4d-83.0124352!16s%2Fg%2F11c26jc7j9?entry=ttu). If you can't make the hike, we should be there by 7:45.
**How to find our starting point in Big Meadows**
If you are new to Highbanks, the Big Meadows picnic area is 1.5 miles into the park just after you turn into the park off of U.S. Route 23. That is, after you enter the park, drive a mile and a half into the park. You will come to a crosswalk with a yield sign in the middle of it (this is not to be confused with the first such crosswalk you come to just in front of the Nature Center, which you arrive at maybe a quarter of a mile into the park).
Just after this second crosswalk, make a left. Then make another almost immediate left into the parking lot on your left. There you will see the jungle gym and the kiddie zip line to your left. I will be just in front of the restrooms just a bit further down from the jungle gym and picnic shelter; the restroom building will also be on your left.
**Note on our starting time**
Highbanks closes at 8:00 this time of year, and they get kind of snarly about getting everyone out of the park by then. So please be on time for this hike. I want to allow two hours for the hike and be back at Big Meadows by 7:30. So we're shoving off at 5:30, with or without a quorum.
New Years Eve Bowling Bash w/ Central Ohio Friends!
If you’ve never been out with us, or it’s been a while… this is the event to jump in. Most people come solo and leave with new friends.
Bowling on New Year’s Eve is **nearly impossible to book** — and we locked down 8 lanes. That alone makes this a rare one.
we are definitely not a pro bowlers (**I’m actually pretty bad** 😅), but bowling is way better when pizza and beer are involved 🍕🍺
This event is posted on meetup with Central Ohio Friends
**Please RSVP with ONE group only**
🎳
• $15 per person
• 2 hours of unlimited bowling
• Up to 6 people per lane
• **Bring $15 exact cash** (helps us move fast)
⏰ THE PLAN

AVATAR: FIRE & ASH
$5 MOVIE NIGHT!
With avatar fire and Ash, James Cameron takes audiences back to Pandora in an immersive new adventure with marine turned Navi leader Jake Sully. Navi Warrior, Naytiri and the Solly family. The film has a screenplay by James Cameron and Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver.
We will see the 6 PM showing and I will post my seat so that we can sit together. We can grab something to eat after if people want and chat to round out the experience.
This is a MUST SEE MOVIE for me. I hope you feel the same. I will CANCEL if there are less than 5 RSVPs on the movie date.
