Step into Dual Orbit, a one‑night journey through Hong Kong’s most imaginative sounds as The Moon Five and Movement take over Terrible Baby. Settle into a seat for the first set, then feel the pull to stand, sway, and sing along as the night heats up.  ## The Moon Five Five seasoned musicians unexpectedly formed a band last year. They’ve since crafted a vibrant mix of pop, rock, cinematic, and even flamenco tunes. One twist: no vocals. Come discover the surprises they have in store! 五位資深音樂人去年因緣際會組成樂團。他們隨後創作了一系列融合流行、搖滾、電影感甚至法林明高的精彩樂曲。特別之處：沒有主唱。快來體驗他們帶來的驚喜！ \| [IG](https://www.instagram.com/themoon5hk/) \| [YOUTUBE](https://youtube.com/embed/C_cyw50l5bM) \| ***  ## Movement 牧⺠樂隊來⾃香港新蒲崗，由⼀群純樸、⾃由和浪漫之徒所組 成。 他們愛帶着樂器，⽤⾳樂這國際語⾔四處交友，隨⼼⽽發。因為 隊員的性格各有不同，所以曲風格調也各有千秋。他們其⾳樂為 流⾏搖滾城市⺠謠（Pop Rock City Folk），常常即興創作，令 ⼈驚喜。他們希望⽤⾳樂去關⼼世界、社會和你；也希望⽤真實 的歌詞和幽默的⼿法，成為漆⿊中的螢火蟲。他們很喜歡在市 集、啤酒節、⾳樂節及街頭等場合演出，但最過癮的還是在旅途 當中唱歌。 We are a group of pure, free and romantic people. We love making friends with musical instruments (music is an international language). We follow our hearts to sing. Due to the different personalities of our members, our music consists of various styles. Also, we often surprise people by improvisation \| [IG](https://www.instagram.com/movementhk/) \| [YOUTUBE](https://youtube.com/embed/PikHP6FTnhw) \| Saturday March 14th 2026 8:30pm - 11pm Terrible Baby, 4/F, Eaton HK, 380 Nathan Rd, Kowloon.

Hello all. In this outing we would try to capture some interesting/blazing colours at night. In short take pictures of anything that inspires you and spurs your creativity, even capturing colourful abstract lights, patterns... We would also take pictures of colourful night market scenes and some colourful characters on the street. While sharpening our Night Photography skills this practice would also help us to learn using different colours in a harmonious way while composing an image. **MEETING TIME & PLACE:** **6.30pm,** **Mong Kok MTR station Exit D3 (street level)** We will meet outside **Mong Kok MTR station Exit D3** (street level) at **6:30pm,** move around taking pictures, then re-group at **The Garage Bar** (Level L, Cordis, 555 Shanghai Street, Mong Kok) **8pm** onwards for drinks, tea/coffee, photo sharing and socialising. https://www.cordishotels.com/en/hong-kong/dine/the-garage-bar/ Please post **YOUR BEST FIVE IMAGES** after the photo taking for this outing on the meetup site. **FINALLY:** For every image you post, please comment on at least one other image, no matter if you think you are qualified to comment or not.

Unlike the usual BYOB format of this group, this is an **assigned reading format.** **You are expected to have read some of the book** to join the discussion :) I am excited to finally read this book, its an award-winning, one of the most highly rated non fiction books across Goodreads/Amazon and for good reason! About the book: # A grand, devastating portrait of three generations of the Sackler family, famed for their philanthropy, whose fortune was built by Valium and whose reputation was destroyed by OxyContin. From the prize-winning and bestselling author of Say Nothing. *"A real-life version of the HBO series Succession with a lethal sting in its tail…a masterful work of narrative reportage.*” – Laura Miller, Slate “*The opioid epidemic has killed nearly half a million Americans over the past two decades. Many of their loved ones, along with public health advocates and experts, believe that one very rich, very famous family has never fully faced the consequences for its role in those deaths. EMPIRE OF PAIN, the explosive new book by journalist Patrick Radden Keefe, is an attempt to change that — to hold the family accountable in a way that nobody has quite done before...*” —Jonathan Cohn, The Washington Post Note: * **location subject to change** but we'll keep it around Wan Chai District. * You **must** buy something at the venue. * **First timer attendees** are requested to contribute 20HKD to fund the Meetup Group Subscription. * No-Shows make the host sad (please update your attendance)

So this month's prompt is more general. I think we can all agree that we are living in "unique" times that require coping skills. I think that one role and/or purpose of philosophy is to help us deal with our daily lives and our "unique" times. So, let's share our feelings and thoughts about which philosopher/philosophy we turn to in order to deal with our crazy events. Who/what helps you stay focused in your daily life and helps you sleep at night. I find that Stoicism with a little philosophical pessimism mixed in goes a long way in helping me deal with what I see as very destructive, fearful and mean spirited public policies at both the state and federal levels. Hope to see you on March 28th!

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** TBD **YouTube Link** TBA

Come join us for coffee at Matari Coffee to discuss our March book, "The Enchanted Greenhouse"! Book description: Terlu Perna broke the law because she was lonely. She cast a spell and created a magically sentient spider plant. As punishment, she was turned into a wooden statue and tucked away into an alcove in the North Reading Room of the Great Library of Alyssium. This should have been the end of her story . . . Yet one day, Terlu wakes in the cold of winter on a nearly-deserted island full of hundreds of magical greenhouses. She’s starving and freezing, and the only other human on the island is a grumpy gardener. To her surprise, he offers Terlu a place to sleep, clean clothes, and freshly baked honey cakes—at least until she’s ready to sail home. But Terlu can’t return home and doesn’t want to—the greenhouses are a dream come true, each more wondrous than the next. When she learns that the magic that sustains them is failing—causing the death of everything within them—Terlu knows she must help. Even if that means breaking the law again. This time, though, she isn’t alone. Assisted by the gardener and a sentient rose, Terlu must unravel the secrets of a long-dead sorcerer if she wants to save the island—and have a fresh chance at happiness and love.

That’ll give us plenty of time to fill out our Oscar Ballots, pick up some free popcorn, candy, and something to drink, mix, mingle, take some photos, pick up your Newfangled Kitchen Meal Deal, grab a seat in our CMG Reserved Section, then settle in to enjoy the Academy Awards on the Big Screen!

RESERVED SEATING: As you enter the theater, the roped off section to the right marked “Reserved” is reserved for you, your guest(s) and the Columbus Movie Group! VEGAN MEALS: As previously mentioned, the food vendor does NOT have a vegan option at this year’s Oscar Party. However, we DO have a solution! I have reached out to several individuals who are affected. If you are a vegan, plan to attend the Oscar Party and did not receive an e-mail from me, please reach out via private message post a note below. I’ll provide details off-line. And while there won’t be a vegan meal option this year, I think we do have a workable solution. And, all other plans are usiness-as-usual: popcorn, sodas, candy, on-site paparazzi, decorations, bar drinks (including your first drink on the house), the Drexel’s Annual Oscar ballot contest, along with the Big Show on the Big Screen and a fun group of Movie Group friends to watch ‘em with!

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.
