Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille. Antonio

ZUMBA +... Aperitivo! - Sunday of Exercise, Fun and Connections
ZUMBA +... Aperitivo! - Sunday of Exercise, Fun and Connections
ENG Sunday afternoon in Milan, what’s the plan? Let’s recharge our batteries to get ready for a brand new week. Leave behind what’s past, take the best from it, and turn it into **pure energy** for this Sunday practice. Music will be the base of our body's movement and expression: the rythm will guide our steps and canalise our energies and emotions into something very creative and powerful. Bring a **sports towel** and **sport clothes and sneakers**. (there are changing rooms if you need them!) Don’t forget **water** to rehydrate — and your desire to recharge! NEW LOCATION: Campo Teatrale \| Snodo Creativo a Milano \(A few metro stops after Loreto\) ***Suuuuper important: Please try to arrive in time! As once the class starts, it's difficult to come receive you!*** And after the event, the sweetest part: let's choose a bar and have some drinks together to get the full Milanese experience with a typical Aperitivo! (not included in the participation fee) ITA Domenica pomeriggio a Milano, qual è il piano? Ricarichiamo un po' le batterie per prepararci al meglio a una nuova settimana. Lasciamo ciò che è stato della settimana scorsa alle spalle, prendiamone il buono e trasformiamolo in **energia pura** per questa pratica della domenica. La musica sarà la base del movimento e dell'espressione del nostro corpo: lasceremo che sia il ritmo a guidare i nostri passi e a canalizzare le nostre energie ed emozioni in un momento di grande creatività e libertà espressiva Porta il tuo **asciugamano da sport** e **acqua** per reidratarti, **abbigliamento e scarpe sportivi** (ci sono gli spogliatoi, se devi cambiarti!) e... voglia di ricaricare le batterie! NUOVA LOCATION: Campo Teatrale \| Snodo Creativo a Milano \(qualche fermata metro dopo Loreto\) ***Suuuuper importante: cerca di arrivare in orario, perchè una volta che inizia la lezione, non sentiamo più il citofono (e non c'è nessuno in reception per accoglierti)*** E dopo l'esercizio, la parte più dolce: non è la full experience Milanese se non c'è un Aperitivo di mezzo! (non incluso nella quota di partecipazione)

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer. Thanks to our 2026 sponsors: [Clarivoy](https://www.clarivoy.com), [What Box Consulting Group](https://www.whatboxconsultinggroup.com), [Conductrics](https://www.conductrics.com), and [Piwik PRO](https://piwik.pro) More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)

The inner circle consists of a small number of participants who actively discuss a topic, while those in the outer circle listen and observe.

Columbus Code & Coffee 84 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee 84 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
Friday night social: Let's go to scene 75!
Friday night social: Let's go to scene 75!
We’re heading back to Scene75 on Friday, March 27 for a high-energy night of laser tag, mini golf, go-karts, arcade games, and whatever chaos we decide to get into. We’ve done this one before and it was a blast — great turnout, tons of laughs, and just the right mix of competition and hanging out. If you missed it last time, this is your shot. 🎯 What to Expect: Laser tag battles Mini golf challenges Go-karts (for those who need speed) Arcade games & game cards You can load however much you’d like onto a game card. Most people will probably be good with $15–$30, but it’s totally up to you. This is a super casual event — show up, jump into whatever looks fun, rotate groups, and hang out. No pressure, no complicated structure. Just a solid Friday night with good people. Also… I haven’t hosted in a bit and I’m making a push to be more active again. If you’ve got ideas for future events you’d love to do, bring them. I’m all ears. Let’s run it back. 🔥
