Whether it‘s your blog, a report, your thesis, your next book, copy for your website, or just your daily journaling, it doesn’t matter. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area.
When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re all settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session.
Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries!

I train @ My Pace - with Jason
-Outdoor Functional Training for All Fitness Levels-
Join us as we combine healthy, balanced movement with fun, gamified ideas to give you our unique FUNctional training! And in case that doesn’t really tell you what to expect, just think short intervals of exercise combined together in a playful and interactive way to help you strengthen your body in a sustainable way while allowing you to meet new people (and often even forget how hard you’re working out).
As a reminder for those nervous about their fitness level: Everything we do, we do with all fitness levels in mind; so the exercises are always adjustable to your level and you’re always strongly encouraged to take it at your own pace - I mean, we’re not called My Pace for nothing!
How to find us: We meet and train behind the calisthenics workout station on the Zirkuswiese of the Prater. Here a link to the location on Google maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/QdRPEaYTiavZbmVW7
Cost: In the interest of inclusivity, we've decided to make our sessions donations based here, so you're invited to pay what you can afford. If that actually makes you more uncomfortable and doesn't make it easier to come, know that we've received donations from €2 to €20 and they all made us very happy, because our primary goal is to get people moving and to show them it can be fun all in all. The money is secondary.
One other thing that’s useful to know:
- In the case of bad weather, we do have a back-up location that will protect us from the rain. Should we need to move, we will change the location of this event here. Please feel free to check back here before any event where you suspect bad weather or, even better, simply get in touch with us! We’re available via WhatsApp message or email.

Lachflash Comedy Open Mic – Dein Sonntag @TheComedyPub endet mit Lachen
**Deutschsprachiges Comedy Open Mic in Wien. Lachflash statt Tatort – der perfekte Sonntagabend mit neuen Comedians & freiem Eintritt.**
# [HOL DIR DEINE TICKETS HERE!!!](https://www.universe.com/events/lachflash-comedy-open-mic-dein-sonntag-thecomedypub-endet-mit-lachen-tickets-8QGW97?ref=MeetUp)
Sonntagabend und du überlegst, ob du dich mit Netflix aufs Sofa wirfst oder dich schon auf den Montag vorbereitest? Falsch gedacht! 😏 Wien hat jetzt eine bessere Antwort: **Lachflash Comedy Open Mic**. Jeden Sonntag um 18:00 wird *The Comedy Pub* zur Bühne für deutschsprachige Stand-up-Comedy – roh, echt, witzig, manchmal absurd und immer überraschend. Der perfekte Wochenend-Ausklang für alle, die nicht aufhören wollen zu lachen.
**Lachflash Comedy Open Mic** ist das große Finale des Wochenendes. Hier bekommst du einen wilden Mix aus **Newcomern**, die ihre ersten Schritte auf der Bühne machen, und **erfahrenen Comedians**, die neues Material ausprobieren. Manchmal entstehen hier Jokes, die in ein Jahr später in Specials oder Fernsehsendungen landen. Manchmal scheitert ein Gag glorreich – und genau das sorgt für die lautesten Lacher des Abends.
Mit **vielen Comedians pro Show** (oft mehr als 10!) erwartet dich ein abwechslungsreicher Abend:
* Überraschende neue Stimmen, die dich mit ganz frischem Humor überraschen
* Kreative Experimente, die kein Mainstream-Comedy-Club sich trauen würde
* Scharfe Pointen von erfahrenen Comedians, die genau wissen, wie man eine Crowd zum Toben bringt
Kein Sonntag gleicht dem anderen. Jede Show hat ein komplett neues Line-up – das macht **Lachflash** zu einer Serie, die man immer wieder besuchen kann.
Und das Beste: Hier ist das Publikum nicht nur dabei, sondern ein aktiver Teil des Abends. Deine Lacher, dein Applaus, dein Staunen – all das beeinflusst, wie die Comedians ihre Jokes entwickeln.
## 🤔 Was ist ein Open Mic?
Ein Open Mic ist das Herzstück der Stand-up-Szene. Es ist keine perfekt inszenierte Show – sondern ein Ort, an dem Comedy entsteht. Hier probieren Comedians ihre neuesten Texte aus, feilen am Timing, improvisieren mit dem Publikum und lernen, was funktioniert.
Das heißt:
* Manchmal knallt ein Joke sofort – und alle feiern.
* Manchmal floppt eine Pointe – und genau daraus wird ein unvergesslicher Moment.
* Immer aber ist es spannend, nahbar und authentisch.
Wenn du echte Comedy erleben willst – ohne Filter, ohne Drehbuch, ohne Sicherungsnetz – dann ist ein Open Mic genau dein Ding. Und **Lachflash Comedy Open Mic** ist Wiens neue Adresse dafür am Sonntag.
## 🍻 The Comedy Pub – Das Zuhause der Stand-up-Comedy in Wien
Die Show findet im **The Comedy Pub** (Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Wien) statt – Wiens erster und einziger echter Comedy-Club. Während andere Bars ab und zu Comedy hosten, ist das hier das Zentrum einer Szene.
Oben erwartet dich ein gemütlicher Irish Pub mit Drinks, Snacks und freundlicher Atmosphäre. Unten im Altbaukeller – oder im offenen Pub-Bereich – wird jede Woche Stand-up gespielt, getestet und gefeiert. Die Location ist bekannt für ihr **nahbares, internationales Publikum** und ihr warmes, intimes Ambiente.
Und das Beste: mit der U-Bahn-Station **Kettenbrückengasse (U4)** direkt vor der Tür bist du in wenigen Minuten mitten im Geschehen.
## 💡 Eintritt frei – Spenden willkommen
Comedy lebt von Community. Damit möglichst viele Menschen Stand-up erleben können, ist der Eintritt frei. Aber: Lachen ist wertvoll – und wenn du einen **Lachflash** hattest, dann zeig das! Am Ende der Show geht ein Hut rum, in den du geben kannst, was es dir wert war. Fair, direkt und die ehrlichste Form von Applaus.
## 🎟️ Regeln fürs Publikum
Damit die Show für alle ein Erlebnis wird, bitten wir dich um ein paar einfache Dinge:
* Sei pünktlich – die Türen öffnen 17:30, Showstart ist 18:00.
* Hör zu und respektiere die Bühne – Comedians geben hier alles.
* Lachen ist Pflicht – und zwar ohne Zurückhaltung!
* Kein Heckling – die Gags kommen von den Profis. 😉
* Spenden sind willkommen – support your local comedy!
## 🎉 Warum Sonntag?
Viele denken: Sonntagabend = Couch, Serien, früh ins Bett. Aber warum so trist? **Lachflash Comedy Open Mic** ist der perfekte Gegenentwurf: eine Show voller Energie, Lachen und Überraschungen – bevor der Montag wieder ernst wird.
* Es ist der **perfekte Wochenend-Ausklang** – Comedy statt Tatort!
* Ein Fixpunkt, der dich mit einem Lächeln in die Woche schickt.
* Ein Raum, in dem du neue Comedians entdeckst, die du sonst nie gesehen hättest.
* Und: die einzige regelmäßige deutsche Comedy-Show am Sonntag in Wien – im einzigen Comedy Club der Stadt.
Kurz gesagt: Sonntag gehört jetzt nicht mehr dem Montagsblues, sondern dem Lachflash.

Café de la Lengua Española (en Rüdigerhof)
Como ya empieza a hacer calor, he pensado que sería buena idea celebrar el evento en un local con terraza.
Para esta ocasión he reservado en Rüdigerhof (Hamburgerstraße 20, 1050 Wien).
En Rüdigerhof ya estuvimos el pasado verano en dos ocasiones, y este verano es el local elegido para empezar la temporada de verano.
Rüdigerhof se encuentra a pocos metros del Naschmarkt (U4 Kettenbrückengasse).
**En Rüdigerhof** no aceptan tarjetas, y **solo se puede pagar en metálico**.
Si el tiempo acompaña (y eso es lo que esperamos todos), nos sentaremos en la terraza.
He hecho una reserva para 20 personas y, por cuestiones de logística, es conveniente llegar puntual.
En este verano tengo la intención de celebrar el evento en distintos locales con terraza (así que si no vienes, te lo pierdes).
Ante cualquier duda, especialmente si es tu primera vez, puedes mandarme un WhatsApp: +4369010297300.
El evento tiene la función de que nos juntemos para pasar un rato divertido.
No olvides compartir el evento con otras personas interesadas.
También tenemos un grupo de Facebook:

Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI
Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans.
We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans.
Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served.
This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**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
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
