Coffee Chat: Stories, Ideas & Insights ☕
A relaxed meetup for friendly conversations, sharing experiences, and exchanging ideas. Meet new people, enjoy a coffee, and have a good time together. Everyone is welcome! ☕✨
Note: I chose this place because it’s usually quiet and not crowded, making it perfect for conversation, you can send me a recommended place.
Seafood & Sobremesa 🐟🤩
🐟 Seafood & Sobremesa at Hala Fish 🤩
Join us for an evening of delicious seafood and even better conversation at Hala Fish Restaurant in Al Khobar.
Inspired by the Spanish tradition of sobremesa—the time spent lingering at the table after a meal, enjoying conversation and each other’s company—we’ll gather to share stories, exchange ideas, and connect with both familiar faces and new friends.
This is not just about the food; it’s about slowing down, being present, and enjoying meaningful conversations in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’ve attended our events before or are joining us for the first time, you’ll find a friendly group ready to chat, laugh, and connect.
Come for the seafood, stay for the sobremesa.
📍 Hala Fish Restaurant, Al Khobar
🕒 2 hours
We look forward to sharing a meal and a memorable evening with you.

في ماوراء (الحب )
جلسة فلسفية حوارية،
نحاول فيها الاقتراب من الإنسان العنوان الذي سنتحدث حوله في هذا اللقاء ( الحُب)
في هذه الجلسة، لا نبحث عن إجابة واحدة،
لأن الفلسفة — كما قال سقراط —
«الحكمة الحقيقية هي أن تعرف أنك لا تعرف.»
نحاور، نتساءل، نختلف باحترام،
ونسمح للأسئلة أن تبقى مفتوحة…

Khobar Book Club - Passing
Hi everyone,
In this session, we'll be covering the Black American classic, **Passing** by **Nella Larsen**.
This book was published in 1929, during the height of the Harlem Renaissance, a period of development of Black American art and scholarship during the 1920's and 30's. We follow the story of Clare Kendry and Irene Redfield, two childhood friends in New York City, as they reunite in adulthood. While Irene grew to be a prominent member of the Black community of Harlem, Clare left it all behind and began to conceal her race from everyone around her, including her racist husband.
Larsen draws on her own complex experiences to explore themes of race, class, eugenics, and sexuality.
We will be covering the **entirety** of **Passing** in this session. I expect you all to have finished reading it **before** attending.
Looking forward to seeing you all and testing how woke you all are.
Until then, take care!

Freestyle + Local Cantina
**Local Cantina -** We'll shut down wine club at 8 pm this evening and take a short walk to our neighborhood Tex-Mex eatery - Local Cantina. Join us after wine club for a snack or meal.
Please RSVP early AND Please let me know in the comments if you plan to join us after at the diner so I can have accurate numbers for the reservations.
**On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\.
**Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours.
**Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass!
**Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing.
**Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions.
Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends.

Trivia Night + Freestyle
**Self-Proclaimed Trivia Master, Paul, has all the questions AND answers**: All YOU have to do is bring the answers. Easy? Let's find out in the next rendition of Trivia Night.
Let's warm up with the question that I like to ask to establish your knowledge of current events and IQ. Don't be shy. Shout this one out. What happened in April in America that had not happened since 1972 ?
(warm up questions answer is posted at the bottom)
Okay, not bad. I heard that. RSVP and form up into teams of up to 4 people when you show up. Compete for prizes so large we had to park them at the airport. Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, 3rd place and Dead Last (that one's more of a remedial learning aid, but it will be fun. I promise).

**After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee.
Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends.

**Answer**: *That's right!* / We sent a rocketship with live astronauts to the moon for a quick lap around our only natural satellite. They didn't land. And they never got out of the capsule... for 10 days! Been there. Done that! (It's like they're replaying all the greatest hits from my childhood.)

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." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!”
SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8! Ranked the #1 Ice Cream Shop in Columbus, this is a perfect early stop on our Summer of Ice Cream! Their menu uses made-from-scratch recipes in an array of traditional, specialty and vegan shakes, hot cocoa, crepes, waffle sticks, specialty coffee & espresso, and more! Their specialty shakes are as delicious as they are over-the-top and they offer an extensive vegan menu! You can check out their full menu here: [https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php](https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php)
PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 6:45pm showing and we’ll meet in the upstairs lobby between 6:25 and 6:35pm! Advance ticket purchase is advised for this opening night showing! 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
