Spring Paint and Potluck!
Artists (aspirationaly or actualy)!
Let's gather for a potluck and paint while we eat!
I will provide acrylic paints, canvas to paint on, and a cheap easel for each Vessel of Devine Inspiration to work off of.
Masters of Creation should plan to bring a beverage or dish to pass around a la potluck style. I'll have chips covered. Please ensure that all non vegan shareable leftovers go home with the owner or adopter as I am a delicate, single-ply paper vegan. Please also be mindful of food waste!
We will gather at my apartment lounge area and create! And eat!
People are also welcome to bring board games. I have Cards Against Humanity and Monopoly as backups.
Approx. location: Old Town Alexandria.
Painting Theme to be announced (please add suggestions in comments).
I am requesting a small fee ($10) to cover reservation of lounge space.

Contra dance with Big Scioty April 11 - Clinton Heights Lutheran church
**Caller: Kim Thompson**
**Band: Full Moon Country Dance Orchestra**
**Clinton Heights Lutheran Church**
**15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202**
WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing!
Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor.
Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner.
Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot.
For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/)
Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
