Cocktails & Collage Night: A Hygge Creative Workshop
Escape the winter chill and immerse yourself in an evening of creativity, conversation, and coziness. Join us for a **Cocktails & Collage** a seasonal gathering that celebrates Danish *hygge* through drinks and imaginative art-making.
Set in a contemporary art gallery turned into a creative studio for the night, you’ll begin with a delicious cocktail or a glass of wine and even alcohol-free option will be available.
Once you test our cocktails you can settle into a candlelit workspace stocked with vintage magazines, colorful papers, fabrics, and other tactile treasures. A collage artist will guide the group through a meditative cut-and-paste flow where you’ll create a visual piece rooted in seasonal themes like winter coziness, Copenhagen memories, or dream landscapes.
Whether you come with friends or on your own, this cozy and creative evening will leave you inspired, relaxed, and ready for winter.
The bar will keep open for those who want to explore more of our cocktail menu

Authentic You Me Slow Friending | Meet new people | No Small Talk [30+yo]
**Tired of small talk? Come meet new people meaningfully - the Authentic You Me way!**
**\*\*\*Looking to grow your social circle? Join us for a welcoming, carefully crafted and thoughtfully facilitated experience of meaningful conversations that go beyond the small talk.\*\*\***
No business cards or job titles.
No small talk.
No pressure to perform.
No intimidating crowds.
\-\-\-
If you have answered yes to two or more of the above, then you have come to the right place.
**Welcome to Authentic You Me**
We often hear how difficult it can be to make new friends as an adult and particularly when moving abroad; or when rebuilding social circles cos old friends have moved away or onto new life phases.
Socialising attempts often mean standing in a crowded room, wearing a polite smile, and answering the same three questions: *"What do you do?" "Where are you from?" "How long have you been here?"* Great for breaking the ice, but rarely leading to something inspiring or meaningful. It’s exhausting. It feels like a performance.
While the absence of authentic connection and meaningful conversations can sometimes leave us feeling a little lonely or like we don't belong.
**Authentic You Me** *was born with a desire to change that.*
\-\-\-
\*\*\*𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗠𝗲, the home of mindful, intentional socials we baptised as 𝗦𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 - our own thoughtful, refreshing and carefully crafted way of changing how we meet and connect with others.
Join me for a carefully and lovingly curated slow-friending evening that is all about embracing your authentic self, connecting on a deeper level with like-minded people, challenging your perspective and sparking curiosity through stimulating conversations – all in a welcoming, non-intimidating & hyggelige setting. Designed to suit both introverts & extroverts.

Creative AI Bootcamp
Your company bought the AI tools - your creatives still aren't using them. The second session of the Creative AI Bootcamp at BLOXHUB is built around that. Hear from practitioners who included their creative teams in the adoption from day one, then build your own approach on the spot.
**Our panel:** sharing real Creative AI use cases from their organisations and what it actually took to get creative buy-in:
* Vera Kozlenko Sheleketo, 2D/UI/AI Artist, Tactile Games
* Anders Wendel, Head of Creative, Boozt
* Kate Young, Senior Director Always On, Pandora
* Dave Laing, Director Campaigns & Content, Novo Nordisk
**What you will take away:**
* Panel: Bottom-up AI initiatives, what creatives actually need and how it changed the approach
* The points where buy-in fails and how to design around them
* Hands-on workshop: build and pressure-test an adoption approach based on real requirements from creative teams
**Agenda:** 11:00 Arrival & Lunch \| 11:30 Introduction \| 11:40 Panel: Bottom\-up approach to make Creative AI use scale \| 12:10 Hands\-on workshop \| 12:50 Debrief \| 13:00 End
🍽️ Lunch included. Limited seats — attendance is by application.
Social Social Night
\*\*\*This is a ticketed event as we have limited space
(your ticket includes a welcome drink🤗).
“So… what do you do for a living?” Most of the time, when we meet new people, it’s only on the surface, a polite smile, a few predictable questions, we talk about work and where we're from. Familiar lines, but rarely the start of something inspiring.
Our *Social Social Nights* are designed to change that. As the name suggests, we want to make these events extra social. This means that it will be once again about **skipping the small talk** and diving into **more fun and meaningful conversations**.
How? You will be our guest, and as your hosts, we prepared thoughtful & playful activities that make it **easy for you to meet new people**, or learn something new about the people you already know.
It’s not about being interesting; it’s about being open. You might share a story you’ve never told before, laugh with someone you’ve just met or an old friend − or simply **enjoy the feeling of being fully present with others**.
Schedule
18:00 · Doors open & welcome (get your welcome drink)
18:30 · First activity (arrive on time, this one sets the tone)
19:00 · Short break
19:15 · Second activity
20:00 · Wrap up & end − you’re welcome to stay for another drink
**This time, we're bringing our Social Social Night to 25hours Hotel Indre By (Pilestræde 65, 1112).**
Many people come solo to our events, but you're more than welcome to bring your friends. Everyone’s welcome.
We’re excited to see you soon,
Your team from Side by Side

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
