Each month, Victorian Skeptics hosts a social night in the pub. We get together for dinner, drinks and good conversation with like-minded individuals. We have a different speaker each month. Topic: "***The Modern Minoans".*** Speaker: Prof. Peter Revesz. Professor Peter Z. Revesz is a Computer Science researcher who has published many academic articles in technology journals about the relationship between the Hungarian language and various ancient languages such as Hurrian, Sumerian and Minoan. But do his claims stand up to scrutiny in the fields of linguistics and information theory? **Start Time:** 6:00pm for dinner and a chat. 7:30pm for beginning of the talk. **[Vic Skeptics](https://vicskeptics.wordpress.com/events/)** \- \- **[Australian Skeptics](https://www.skeptics.com.au/)**

**💘 Eat, Drink & Dance Melbourne: The Winter Social** 💘 Saturday 20 June 7:00pm – 10:30pm Lustre Bar, Flinders Lane Melbourne, assemble your charm, your courage, and your most persuasive eyebrow raise — because Winter has arrived, rug up and chill (not literally) in the warm.and Coxy environs of the Lustre Bar. Or course we'll head off somewhere for a dance off afterwards! Join us at Lustre Bar, where the cocktails sparkle, the lighting forgives, and the mood is set firmly to romantic chaos. This is a night for the bold, the hopeful, the delightfully unhinged, and anyone who refuses to spend Saturday eating supermarket chocolate and tubs of ice cream like a lonely Chewbacca on the couch (again). **⚠️Expect**: *Flirty icebreakers that make “So what do you do?” feel like a relic of a more boring civilisation - Silly mini‑games designed to nudge strangers into becoming “entangled parties of interest” *A soundtrack calibrated for maximum swoon‑potential - A room full of people who are also pretending they’re “just here for fun” By 10pm, those who have successfully paired, tangled, or otherwise conspired with another human will be invited to continue the adventure as we spill into a dance venue of our choosing. Think of it as the Winter Migration: a flock of seagulls abd romantically‑charged humans moving gracefully (or not) toward a dance floor where destiny, chemistry, and questionable rhythm await. Whether you leave with a Winter Valentine, a new crush, or simply a great story, you’ll be in excellent company. **Dress code**: Cute, confident, or chaotically optimistic. **Vibe**: Romantic comedy meets mild social experiment. **Goal**: Snatch a Winter Valentine before the clock strikes midnight on Cupid’s deadline. Come for the cocktails. Stay for the chemistry. Dance for the glory.
