We are delighted to welcome Julian Zabalbeascoa for the European launch of *What We Tried to Bury Grows Here*, "a fiery, visceral tale of the Spanish Civil War," according to the New York Times, and a finalist for a Los Angeles Times Book Prize. Zabalbeascoa will be in conversation with Nick Lloyd, author of Travels through the Spanish Civil War. Together, they will reflect on the Spanish Civil War, its origins and consequences, and the war's deep resonances today, in Spain and throughout the world. This promises to be a rich and wide-ranging conversation, followed by an audience Q&A and a book signing. ## **About the Speakers:** **Julian Zabalbeascoa** is the debut author of *What We Tried to Bury Grows Here*. Among other journals, his short stories have appeared in American Short Fiction, Electric Literature, The Gettysburg Review, One Story, and Ploughshares. He is a dual citizen of Spain and the United States, earned his MFA in Creative Writing in Madrid, and teaches in the Honors College at UMass Lowell, where he leads annual study abroad programs to San Sebastian, Havana, Madrid, and Paris. **Nick Lloyd** is a writer, historian, and founder of **Spanish Civil War Tours**, a project dedicated to bringing the stories of the conflict to life through guided visits to key sites across Catalonia and Aragón. Over the years, his work has helped connect countless visitors with Spain’s complex past, weaving together the political, cultural, and personal dimensions of the war. *Travels Through the Spanish Civil War* is his latest work—a deeply human account of memory, movement, and meaning in the landscapes of twentieth-century Spain. **About the book:** In late 1936, eighteen-year-old Isidro Elejalde leaves his Basque village in Northern Spain, spurred to join the fight to preserve his country’s democracy from the insurrectionists by the rousing words of a political essayist. Months earlier, Spanish generals launched a military coup to overthrow Spain’s newly elected left-wing government. They assumed the population would welcome the coup, but throughout the country people like Isidro remained loyal to the ideals of democracy, and the Spanish Civil War began in bloody earnest. In Bilbao, Mariana raises her two young children while, with her writing, she decries the fascist-backed coup attempt and their German and Italian allies, imploring the world to support democracy. As the Nationalist forces assault the country, Mariana and Isidro’s lives intersect fleetingly, yet in meaningful and lasting ways. Through a chorus of voices—a female soldier in an all-male battalion, a reluctant conscript recently emigrated from Cuba, a young girl whose parents have abandoned her in order to fight against the fascists, among others—we follow Isidro and Mariana as they struggle to maintain their humanity in a country determined to tear itself apart.

¡NUEVA ACTIVIDAD! Vamos a hacer una salida nostálgica, **muy barcelonesa**, que seguro que hace muchos años que no experimentas: un recorrido con las tradicionales embarcaciones "Golondrinas" del Puerto. Así pues, hemos preparado un recorrido histórico por el Puerto de Barcelona, a pie y en Golondrina (**la tradicional embarcación**), en el que conoceremos más detalles de su historia y veremos rincones y zonas que **son difíciles de contemplar si no se hace desde el mar**: el muelle de pescadores, el faro de Montjuïc, las dársenas de Sant Bertran o el Moll d'Espanya. El paseo en Golondrina tradicional durará unos 45 minutos y posteriormente seguiremos con una ruta guiada por la zona del Port Vell, l**a Barceloneta** y el Barrio de la Mercè. Sin duda, una actividad ideal para un domingo por la mañana, en la que volveremos a hacer de barceloneses "de toda la vida". Y como siempre, nuestras actividades **contienen explicaciones de un guía licenciado en historia por la UB.** ¡No te lo pierdas! Éste es nuestro **PLAN**: 1. Encuentro en la salida de Metro Drassanes (L3) en el centro de la Rambla e iniciamos ruta! 2. Una vez situados históricamente, nos vamos sacar los billetes para las Golondrinas. 3. Recorrido de 45 minutos navegando por el Puerto de Barcelona y Montjuïc. 4. Seguimos la ruta cultural a pie por el Port Vell, el Barri de la Mercè y la Barceloneta. 5. Terminamos en la Barceloneta, y l**os que quieran, pueden ir a tomar algo (opcional).** **PRECIO**: 20 euros correspondientes a los honorarios de guía licenciado en historia, billete Golondrinas y paseo histórico

**Sarrià, el último pueblo en ser anexionado por Barcelona (1921)**, conserva un cierto aire popular, de cuando se trataba de una villa de menestrales, con zonas agrícolas y grandes mansiones de ricos barceloneses que iban a pasar el verano allí. Durante el recorrido guiado por el viejo Sarrià, de carácter panorámico, vamos a descubrir la historia del barrio, vamos a conocer anécdotas curiosas y vamos a pasear por algunos de los rincones más emblemáticos de Sarrià, un antiguo pueblo que ha sabido mantenerse fiel a su esencia. El itinerario nos servirá para conocer la historia del barrio y descubrir rincones emblemáticos como: – **La calle Major**, la columna vertebral del barrio – **Pequeños pasajes y plazas**, entre ellas la más pequeña de Barcelona – **El bar Tomás y la mítica pastelería Foix,** mucho más que una tienda. – **La iglesia de Sant Vicenç y el mercado** – **Los jardines de Can Sentmenat** – **El antiguo camino a Vallvidrera** – **Casas y Torres singulares** (…) Al final del tour, tendremos la opción de ir a tomar algo en un popular bar del barrio. **GUÍA:** Toni Bellido **LENGUA DEL TOUR:** castellano **PRECIO:** 10 euros (a pagar en efectivo al comienzo del tour)

The topic for March is "Our Bodies, Ourselves" 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!

We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM. It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).

Jimmy V's Grill & Pub in Grandview Heights. We meet in the bar in the room on the right (the cigar shop). You are responsible for your own meal/drinks. We usually don't have any agenda other than eat, drink and talk. :) If the weather is nice we will be on the back patio, otherwise we are in the cigar room. This group has been meeting every Tuesday evening for over a decade. Many attendees do not RSVP on meetup. Please don't let the small number here discourage you. Anyone/everyone is welcome to come. We'd love to have you join us. COTA bus #5 comes to W. 5th and Wyandotte Rd. And it's a minute walk to the restaurant. *** Did you know that there are atheists everywhere?!?! You may not know it, but we are! We're in your schools, diners, police force, military, government, and some are even still in your churches! So come and join us and meet other local atheists, along with agnostics, heathens, humanists, skeptics, and anyone else who's 'hell bound'! Vision: a Central Ohio that accepts atheism as a viable alternative in all areas of public and private life. Mission: grow, support, and provide community for atheists in Central Ohio. Social meetings held most Tuesdays at a local pub/restaurant at 7:00 PM (and often into the wee hours). Attendees call themselves agnostics, skeptics, humanists, non-theists, deists or even theists. All attendees are welcome but should support our vision. Atheists of Columbus (AoC) is part of Omnipresent Atheists (OA). AoC members are invited to join this OA meetup and/or OA Facebook group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/omnipresentatheists/ ) but are free to continue conversations on the AoC Facebook group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/columbusatheists/ ). AoC was founded in 2012 as a networking, social group for Central Ohio area humanists, skeptics, atheists, agnostics, nonbelievers, freethinkers, and the curious. It was a member of Columbus CoR and held weekly meetings, mostly on Fridays, for several years but then operated as an online only group for some time. In November 2018, Omnipresent Atheists (OA), a group that routinely meets on Tuesdays, invited AoC to merge. Omnipresent Atheists is a member of the Columbus Coalition of Reason (ColumbusCoR.org). Omnipresent Atheists is a member of the Columbus Coalition of Reason ( http://www.ColumbusCoR.org ). Omnipresent Atheists endorses the mission of the Secular Coalition for America ( http://secular.org ).

Jimmy V's Grill & Pub in Grandview Heights. You are responsible for your own meal/drinks. We usually don't have any agenda other than eat, drink and talk. :) If the weather is nice we will be on the back patio, otherwise we are in the cigar room. This group has been meeting every Tuesday evening for over a decade. Many attendees do not RSVP on meetup. Please don't let the small number here discourage you. Anyone/everyone is welcome to come. We'd love to have you join us. COTA bus #5 comes to W. 5th and Wyandotte Rd. And it's a minute walk to the restaurant.

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating. Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. If the weather cooperates we will be meeting in the patio. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who want to discuss international travel and culture, and anyone who enjoys getting together for good conversations."
