💀🔥 HOT TAKES NIGHT Hosted by Ljubljana International 📅 Saturday, 27 June ⏰ 20:00 📍 Pub LOO-BLAH-NAH Center Some opinions are too controversial for the internet.

🌍🍻 LJUBLJANA INTERNATIONAL: STEVEN'S FAREWELL PARTY + SATURDAY INTERNATIONAL MEETUP This Saturday, we're organizing one of our biggest Saturday international meetups in Ljubljana—and this one is a little more emotional than usual. It's Steven's last weekend in Slovenia. ❤️ Steven first joined Ljubljana International more than a year and a half ago at one of our community picnics. Since then, he's been a regular face at our events, always making people laugh with his crazy stories, legendary nights out, questionable alcohol decisions, and the kind of positive energy that made every meetup more memorable. As a history teacher at the International School in Ljubljana, he taught in the classroom by day—but outside of it, he became one of the personalities that helped shape our community. This Saturday, we're giving him the send-off he deserves. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📍 LOGISTICS 📅 Saturday, 28 June ⏰ From 20:00 – Late 📍 Pub LOO-BLAH-NAH Center Adamič-Lundrovo nabrežje 1, Ljubljana 👥 30+ internationals expected 🍻 Drinks, conversations, music, and one last unforgettable night with Steven. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚽ FROM 23:00 — ENGLAND 🇬🇧 vs PANAMA 🇵🇦 WATCH PARTY Since Steven is English, we'll continue the evening by cheering on England together. 📺 Big screen 🍺 Cold drinks ⚽ Great football atmosphere ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 FIRST TIME JOINING US?

The topic for July is "Shoes" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

Inspired by our successful events like "Saturday Mornings @ East Market" and other "Pot Luck in the Park" lunches, this gathering promises to be a blend of fun conversations, language exchange, and cultural insights, all while sharing wonderful foods with each other. **Please bring a dish to share and anything you would like to drink.** We will provide plates, plastic silverware and napkins. So, come hungry and ready to chat!
