## What we’re about
Buongiorno a tutti. Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille.

GITUP - AT LAKE MORO, IN THE LOWER CAMONICA VALLEY (BS)
Lake Moro is a natural gem of remarkable beauty.
Nestled between the Sorline and Rodino hills and overlooked by Mount Pora and Mount Altissimo, it sits at just 381 meters above sea level.
From a naturalistic point of view, the influence of the Mediterranean climate of Lake Iseo and the glacial climate of the Adamello makes Lake Moro one of the areas with the highest concentration of biodiversity in Europe. This unique condition also benefits local productions such as cheese, honey, and olive oil.
**PROGRAM**
11:00 – Meeting point at G8 Wine Bar Café, Via Vittorio Veneto 20, 24060 Rogno (BG)
11:15 – Departure for Lake Moro Park
12:30 – Approximate arrival, free time, relaxing on the lakeshore, and lunch (packed lunch or independently arranged at local venues)
15:00 – Approximate return
**Easy-Medium Level** – About 1h30 and 3.5 km each way, 250 m elevation gain. No special equipment or clothing required. Always bring some food and water, trekking shoes, a towel, and a swimsuit for a possible lakeside break.
**Note 1:** Participants must reach the starting point independently (car, bus, train, etc.) or via carpooling by coordinating with other participants in the private Facebook and/or Telegram groups reserved for members (request access once you have your membership card).
**Note 2:** The “I will attend” button on Meetup is not considered valid for us. Meetup is only used to publish the event and gauge interest. Once you become a member, please follow the instructions for the event’s *official* registration.

Che fiore sei? 🌸
Maggio, il mese dei fiori… e della rinascita 🌸
Il momento perfetto per rallentare, respirare e ritagliarti uno spazio tutto tuo.
Quale fiore ti rappresenta davvero?
Quello che ami, quello che senti tuo, o quello che oggi parla di te.
In questo workshop ogni partecipante sceglierà il proprio fiore e lo trasformerà in un dipinto ad acquerello.
Non è richiesta alcuna esperienza tecnica: potrai esprimerti liberamente, anche in modo astratto, seguendo il tuo istinto e le tue emozioni.
Se preferisci, potrai lasciarti guidare da stencil con diverse forme floreali.
💧 L’acquerello, con i suoi tempi lenti e i suoi movimenti fluidi, diventa un gesto calmante e rilassante: un modo per lasciare andare il controllo e ritrovare leggerezza, colore dopo colore.
🌼 Giocheremo anche con il linguaggio dei fiori, scoprendo simboli, significati e messaggi nascosti… per connetterci ancora di più a ciò che scegliamo di rappresentare.
Saremo all'esterno del locale nel suo bellissimo giardino che sarà ispirante per la pratica 😊
(in caso di maltempo saremo all'interno).
**Attenzione! Early bird 12€ per iscrizioni entro domenica 17 maggio.**
**☕** **Contributo workshop:** **15€**
comprensivi di:
- mia guida
– carta da acquerello
– acquerelli
– pennelli
– stencil
- acqua al tavolo
- il tuo disegno che porterai a casa con te 🌸
Eventuali ulteriori consumazioni al bar saranno a carico di ciascun partecipante. Quota da poter versare tramite paypal o satispay.
Si prega di confermare la presenza entro venerdì 15 maggio.
Se il workshop sarà rinviato la quota verrà restituita.
Possibilità di cancellare prenotazione entro 48h con rimborso quota.

✨ Questo non è un corso di pittura, ma uno spazio sicuro di espressione.
Un momento per esplorare la tua idea di femminilità, senza giudizio, senza regole, senza aspettative.
Solo tu, il colore… e il tuo fiore.

🧘🏻♀️ MINDFUL PILATES 🧘🏻♀️ OPEN DAY
Corpo forte, mente calma: il tuo reset inizia qui. 🌿
Ma dove risiede la vera forza? Non solo nei muscoli, ma nell'equilibrio. ⚖️
Troppo spesso alleniamo il corpo dimenticando la mente, o cerchiamo la calma senza muovere il fisico. Abbiamo pensato un’esperienza unica per unire questi due mondi: un viaggio tra la fluidità del Pilates e la consapevolezza della Mindfulness. 🧘✨
Non è una semplice lezione, è il tuo momento di riconnessione. Un’occasione per staccare la spina dal caos quotidiano e ripartire da te.
🚀 Vuoi provare? Abbiamo riservato dei posti per una prova gratuita, ma sono limitati!

Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!”
SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8! Ranked the #1 Ice Cream Shop in Columbus in 2024, this is the perfect place to kick off our Summer of Ice Cream and grab a sweet treat after the show! Their menu features an array of traditional, specialty and vegan shakes, hot cocoa, and more! You can check out their full menu here: [https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php](https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php)
PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 20 minutes before the show. Once showtime is announced, advance ticket purchase is advised! Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event. We'll head to nearby Shake No. 8 immediately following the show!
Should be a fun one, Dan

Ensuring Software Quality in the world of AI Developers - Matt Eland
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.

Drunken Philosophy: What’s up with all the AI hate?
**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion
**Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?**
A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad.
My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one.
Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it?
I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction.
Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends.
No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
