Troilus and Cressida
Troilus and Cressida, set during the Trojan war, intertwines two storylines: the doomed love between the young Trojan prince Troilus and the sharp‑witted Cressida, and the increasingly absurd political maneuvering among Greek and Trojan leaders. The play resists easy categories - part tragedy, part comedy, part war satire—and is skeptical of heroic myths, critical of war, and deeply attuned to human vanity and frailty.

Fun social evening run in Lyngby
Daylight is coming and we have changed from Sat afternoon to Monday evening runs.
Join us for a trail run/jog/walk!
As I don't know the exact meeting point, show up in good time to find us and store your bag while you are out on the trail. We Strive to start on time and you need spare clothes when we are back at the station.
We are not a typical running club, so please read about the concept in “about us”.
How it works: we don’t know in advance where the trail will go, but we know it will be fun! A member of the club, the 'hare', sets a trail, usually marked with flour. The rest of us, the 'pack', follows the hare's 'scent', i.e., the marks. There will be a 8-10 km trail for runners with shortcuts down to 5-6 km for walkers and those who need a slower pace. We have no set pace - run/walk as slow or as fast as you'd like. After the run we enjoy some refreshments and socialize.
Come a few minutes before the start so that you can say hi and leave your bag in a designated bag car before we set off at 18:30.
Don’t worry if there are few registrations on Meetup. We have existed for 44 years, and a lot of our members (anywhere from 20 to 50 people) just show up.
Four-legged friends are welcome!
We never cancel.
See you there!

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - English Standup Comedy COPENHAGEN
TICKET LINK
https://fienta.com/the-good-the-bad-the-ugly-english-standup-comedy-show
One Night, Three Comedians. Who is good? Who is bad? Who is ugly? Honestly, we couldn't figure it out from the poster so the audience will have to decide. The night will be hosted by Derek Hartman and feature Copenhagen Local Div Sidhu and visiting comedian Brian Tynan in a split headliner format.
About the Comedians
**Derek Hartman - Host**
Derek is an American comedian, YouTuber, and social media personality based in Copenhagen. Known for his dry observations and outsider perspective on life in Denmark, Derek blends cultural confusion and everyday absurdities into his comedy. He also creates online sketches and videos that poke fun at Danish culture and the experience of living abroad. When he’s not on stage, he co-hosts the podcast What Are You Doing in Denmark, where he talks with internationals about the strange and often hilarious realities of life in Denmark.
**Brian Tynan**
Brian is an American from Tennessee who has been living in Europe since 2010. He first came for love, but stayed for the free health care and lack of guns. The thing he misses most from the states is Mexican food. He enjoys disc golf, snowboarding and other hobbies which will definitely never earn him money or make his family proud. He started standup just before the pandemic while living in Czech Republic because he loves a challenge and is great at bad timing. He picked it back up in 2022 after moving to Switzerland because he doesn't learn from his mistakes. His humor is a mix of social commentary and family history tinged with the insights of an expat living, loving and learning in different languages and cultural environments for most of his adult life.
**Div Sidhu**
Div is an Indian comedian based in Copenhagen known for his anecdotal style of comedy. Drawing from personal experiences and everyday observations, he blends stand-up storytelling with sketch comedy to share humorous takes on life as an Indian living in Europe. With expressive characters and relatable insights into cultural differences, family moments, and immigrant life, Div turns real-life situations into stories audiences everywhere can laugh and connect with. He has performed internationally across the USA, India, Italy, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Austria, Malta, and Sweden, where he brought his two-person comedy show to the Stockholm Fringe Festival.

Silvers Dinners Wednesdays: A Syrian Grandmother's Kitchen with Youssra
This week the host is: Youssra!
Youssra grew up in Syria in a home where cooking was at the center of everything. She moved to Denmark as a youngster and spent most of her life working as an English teacher while raising a family - always in the cooking business and always taking care of people.
When she was in her 60s, she decided to follow the thread that had been there all along. She started her own catering business, Youssra's Kitchen, and now cooks full-time from her kitchen, often with music in her ears and the door open.
Youssra has a beautiful way of speaking; she's full of stories about food, migration and resilience, and now she wants to open her kitchen to share them.
Tickets here: [www.TheSilvers.dk](www.thesilvers.dk)

Here in Copenhagen we have started a movement of weekly dinners (on a Wednesday) hosted by the senior generation in their own homes.
Seniors with 60+ years of life experience who are community leaders, intellectuals, artists, storytellers, and want to share their experience over dinners for a small group each time.
Every Wednesday there is dinner hosted by a different Silver (senior host) who will open their front door, welcome a group of 5-8 people into their home, and share their stories, knowledge, and connections across the table over a themed evening.
Each host chooses their own theme and it is the aim to pass on their hard-earned knowledge.

How LLMs Like ChatGPT Actually Work and How to Build With Them
**First meetup of the Columbus AI Engineering group.**
We’ll kick things off with a practical, beginner-friendly discussion on:
**How LLMs like ChatGPT actually work — and how to build real applications with them.**
We’ll cover:
* what’s actually happening under the hood (at a high level)
* why LLMs behave the way they do (hallucinations, prompt sensitivity, etc.)
* how people are building real systems with them today
* where things break in practice
This will be a **short, informal talk (\~15–20 min)** followed by open discussion and Q&A.
Whether you’re an engineer, builder, or just curious about how modern AI systems work, you’re welcome to join.
No slides, no fluff — just real conversation about real systems.
We’ll hang out afterward and get to know each other.

While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.
HTML5 Master Series (Class 01 of 04) (SPECIAL OFFERING)
**PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT NOTES:**
1. The dates listed for this series are about 95% reliable. We are completing our 2026 schedule as we speak, so minor adjustments are still occurring.
2. Each class in this series has an attendance fee, though this first offering is free on a first-come, first-served basis.
3. Each class, from BOTH a sign-up and fee perspective, is a separate entity.
**Introduction:**
HTML5 is the foundational technology for modern web development, serving as the standard markup language for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. Developed through a collaboration between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), HTML5 provides a robust system of elements (tags) that tell a browser how to display text, images, and multimedia in a clear and meaningful way. It works in concert with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for presentation and JavaScript for interactivity, forming the core technology stack for virtually all websites and many web applications today.
One of the significant advancements of HTML5 is the introduction of powerful new features and elements designed to improve functionality and simplify development. Key additions include native multimedia support via the \ and \ tags, allowing developers to embed media without third-party plugins. It also offers new form controls for better user input, such as date and email types, and introduces web storage capabilities to store data offline for enhanced performance. These features streamline the process of building rich, interactive web experiences.
A significant focus of HTML5 is enhanced semantics and better structural organization of content. New semantic elements like , , , , and \ provide meaningful structure to documents, which aids in search engine optimization (SEO) and improves accessibility for assistive technologies. These elements define different parts of a webpage (e.g., a header for the top, a nav for navigation links, a footer for the bottom), making the code more readable and understandable for both developers and machines. This emphasis on clear structure helps in creating more logical and maintainable websites.
Developing websites in today's competitive environment requires taking advantage of every technique you can to get the maximum exposure possible. Our HTML5 class will not only show you what's new in the HTML specification, but also the best way to develop optimized web pages that get the attention your client and/or company requires.
**The breakdown of the four-class series is as follows:**
**Class 1: Introduction to Web Structure and Basic HTML5**

Data & Analytics Wednesday - The Data-Driven Brand
**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception**
Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory.
For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy.
She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps).
Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way.
**About Our Speaker**
Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
