**Online-Nähabend auf Discord – gemeinsam nähen, austauschen und helfen** Hast du Lust auf einen entspannten Online-Nähabend – ganz ohne Kursdruck? Wir treffen uns auf Discord, um gemeinsam zu nähen, zu plaudern und uns gegenseitig zu helfen. Egal ob Anfängerin, Anfänger oder schon fortgeschritten: Alle sind willkommen. Bring einfach dein aktuelles Projekt mit, stelle Fragen oder teile deine Tipps mit der Runde. **Deinen Arbeitsplatz zeigen – optional** Wenn du möchtest, kannst du deinen Arbeitsplatz live zeigen, zum Beispiel über: * Kamera auf Discord (Webcam oder Handy) * Bildschirmfreigabe für Schnittmuster oder Anleitungen am PC * Handy als Kamera von oben auf deinen Tisch **Ablauf des Abends** Ganz locker und ohne festes Ende: * **20:00 Uhr** – Ankommen und kurzer Technik-Check (Ton, Bild, Bildschirmfreigabe) * Kurze Vorstellungsrunde: Woran arbeitest du gerade? Wo brauchst du vielleicht Hilfe? * Danach freies Nähen, Austausch und Fragen zwischendurch * Offenes Ende – wenn du müde wirst, kannst du einfach gehen **Wichtig** Wir starten pünktlich um **20:00 Uhr**. Wer später dazukommt, ist natürlich trotzdem willkommen. Nach dem Start läuft der Abend aber eher frei, deshalb können wir Spätankommende nicht mehr so gut in einen festen Ablauf einbinden. **Technik-Hinweise** * Wir treffen uns in einem Discord-Sprachkanal, auf Wunsch auch mit Video * Wenn du deinen Arbeitsplatz zeigen möchtest, funktioniert die Kombination aus Handy und Laptop meist am besten * Bitte schalte eines der Mikrofone stumm, damit es kein Echo gibt * Kopfhörer sind empfehlenswert * Bildschirmfreigabe klappt meistens am besten in der Discord-Desktop-App, im Browser kann es Einschränkungen geben. **Zeit** **Donnerstag, 20:00 Uhr** **Discord-Zugang** Den Discord-Link bzw. die Kanalinfos poste ich kurz vor Beginn direkt im Event. Er ist für angemeldete Teilnehmende sichtbar.

Join us for an exclusive first listen to Tarja Turunen’s highly anticipated tenth solo studio album, Frisson Noir! Tarja has officially dubbed this her ultimate "return to metal" and the heaviest album of her entire career. We will go to Halford to hear the tracks in full before the official worldwide release on June 12th. Whether you've been following her symphonic metal origins with Nightwish for years or just want to appreciate some powerhouse vocals with good company, it's going to be an epic night out. Let’s grab a drink, meet fellow metal fans, and experience the new era of Tarja together. See you there!

Do you like to play football - but relaxed and not with competitive or aggressive players? Are you a bit lazy, a bit old, a bit unfit or not so talented? Are you tired of insecure bros who only want to show off their skills? **Then [Lousy & Lazy Football](https://www.instagram.com/landlsc/) is the right thing for you!** We are a group of friendly people who just want to have a relaxed kick. All genders, ages (+18) and nationalities welcome. **Feel free to join the waitlist even if it seems long - sometimes we make the event larger and play on two pitches (24 players, four teams) or even three pitches (36 players, six teams), depending on demand.** Note: **We do not allow high-studded football boots during our sessions.** To avoid injuries, we only play with "Multinocken" (multistuds) or shorter. Please have a look here: [link](https://www.11teamsports.com/de-de/fussballschuhe/multinocken/). Rules for lazy & lousy football 1. **Don’t be competitive** 2. **No hard tackling/sliding challenges** 3. **Support new players by giving them the time and space to play the ball** 4. **Don’t dribble past multiple players (trying to take on a player is fine but at no point should you be trying to dribble past multiple players).** 5. **Don’t close down the defenders too quickly. Give the team a chance to play the ball out.** 6. **Rotate the goalkeeper** 7. **Be a teamplayer** Waiting list: This meetup is for members of the Lousy & Lazy Sport Club. If you want to try out our lousy & lazy sport events, you can do a trial run (Probetraining).

This is a casual, social meetup in a Friedrichshain bar and eatery, with no set agenda or topics. Time to get to know some of the other men in the group and to learn about the different other formats we offer. For newcomers, it's a relaxed opportunity to check out the group and see if it's right for you - and a chance to ask hosts and other regular attendees about what we get up to. Get together and have a beer - perhaps an alcohol-free one, if you prefer - with us after the working day. Jäger & Lustig is also a restaurant, if you want to grab something to eat: [https://jaegerundlustig.de/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Jaeger-und-Lustig-Speisekarte-06-2024-Web-de.pdf](https://jaegerundlustig.de/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Jaeger-und-Lustig-Speisekarte-06-2024-Web-de.pdf) If weather permits we will be sitting outside in the beer garden. The table is reserved on my name (Kostas). We're looking forward to seeing you !

Join us for a fun evening of meeting new people and enjoying drinks at a local bar! This is a great opportunity to make new connections and socialize in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We’ll be gathering at Prater Beer Garden from 19:00 onwards. It’s a great spot for beers and exciting conversations in the evenings and during the daytime. The alternative atmosphere can be hard to find in Berlin Mitte, and this is one of the coolest spots in the area. Don’t miss out on this chance to expand your social circle and have a great time. We can’t wait to see you there! 😊 **\*\*How to find us\*\* 😉** 1\. Please don’t ask the bartender where the group is\. Check the next point ❤️ 2\. We will post a photo of the meetup area to the comments shortly after 7

Nice! You are looking for real long time friendship! You might have already lived in Berlin or other big cities and experienced the "Anonymous" culture for a while. Meeting random people over and over and never see the same person again! In order to find "Real Long Term Friendship" in Berlin, do as follows: * You should not care how many people are joining this meetup. You RVSP. Even if only one person is joining. Because if everyone are waiting for everyone else to RVSP, nobody joins and nobody finds a new friend. * You do not care how many people of the opposite sex are joining. You are looking for friends. Finding the best romantic partner in the world, while avoiding not very attractive others, can be your other goal, for another time. Here we are looking for Friends. Real ones. * You are going to risk a very precious property of yours: Your time! Yes, there are thousands of opportunities in Berlin, there might be a rock concert for free, a birthday party you might miss, an important person might call you and invite you spontaneously, but you never find new friends until you decide to risk your time and meet people anyway. "I will check my calendar and get back to you" also does not work. Commit your time and spend it. Trust me, you won't go bankrupt ;-) * You are ready to use your phone as a real phone! You might have been using your phone as a tablet to visit Instagram and Facebook and watch movies. But if you want to find friends, you must know that people might take your phone number and give you theirs. That means they will Call you! And you have to pick up the phone and answer it. If you want to find new friends, you must be ready to do something really hard for the first time after years: Call people first, and if they called you: Answer your phone! * You are going to meet some people twice! That's the point of friendship. We already can experience random encounters with random people in random places one at a time. But that is not called friendship. If you want friends, you must be ready to meet the same person more than once. If you agree with above, RVSP and COME! You will meet other people who think the same way. P.S: Now that you've read all the way down to here, I suggest you [watch this animation](https://player.vimeo.com/video/547249272?h=22f3dd0f6f).

**Everyone's welcome ❤️** Every Friday evening we meet up by the Spree — music playing, people arriving from all over the world, and a night that usually goes way longer than anyone planned. No agenda. No organised icebreakers. Just a relaxed spot by the river where you can show up, grab a drink, and actually meet people worth knowing. We've been doing this for over 8 years, and the best thing about it is still the same — you never quite know who you're going to end up talking to. Come solo, come with friends, come fresh off a flight. The crowd is always a mix of Berliners, expats, travellers, and people who just moved here and are figuring it out. After a while the group usually spreads out to bars or clubs — or just stays by the water. You go wherever the night takes you. **Stay in the loop — join our Telegram group:** Spree Ravers → https://linktr.ee/clockworkbanana 📍 By the Spree, next to Schlesisches Tor U-Bahn — opposite the East Side Gallery, right by the Cage on Water → [https://maps.app.goo.gl/vj1DhSP3apijCmRbA](https://maps.app.goo.gl/vj1DhSP3apijCmRbA) 🕒 From 9 PM — people arrive gradually, so if it's quiet at first, just hang tight See you Friday ✨
