Exposició: "Un gran fracàs" de Gonçal Sobrer
En aquesta ocasió anem a la inauguració de l'exposició *“Un gran fracàs”* que el museu Can Framis dedica de manera retrospectiva a l’artista Gonçal Sobrer, nascut al barri del Poblenou de Barcelona el 1932.
La mostra reuneix gairebé dues-centes obres, moltes d’elles inèdites, d’un creador singular que ha convertit el fracàs en el sentit de la seva pròpia trajectòria artística. Una trajectòria que desafia els convencionalismes a través de l’humor i la crítica punyent.
L’obra de Sobrer s’articula a través de diferents llenguatges: pintura, objectes, instal·lacions, *happening* i *performances*, així com teatre, fotografia i cinema.
A mitjans de la dècada dels 60 realitza una sèrie de pintures d’un expressionisme lleig al qual anomenarà “Art Xava” (de chabacano).
L’any 1965 promou a la Casa de Jubilats del Poblenou el que es considera el primer *happening* de Catalunya i de l’Estat espanyol.
El 1966 realitza la performance pionera *“Dansa de l'afusellament”*, rememorant a les persones afusellades al Camp de la Bota entre 1939 i 1952.
Aquesta obra és per dret propi pràcticament l’única que se li ha reconegut a l’artista (les fotografies de la *performance* van ser comprades per la Generalitat el 2023).
El 1978 es disfressà a la Rambla de Barcelona del pintor Santiago Rusiñol i es posà a pintar pollastres rostits i paelles.
Abans, el 1976, va organitzar una exposició per presentar el seu *“Retaule del Santet del Poble Nou”* donant-li el caràcter d’obra pòstuma, cosa que ha provocat, anys més tard, que en algunes ocasions se l’hagi donat per mort el 1975, cosa que no és certa.
La seva trajectòria professional passa per la creació i regència des de 1958 de l’Hotel Romàntic de Sitges, considerat un museu més de la vila, després d’obrir les seves portes en anys llunyans a la comunitat gai internacional.
Llarga vida a Gonçal Sobrer!

Coffee Connections
A casual (but coordinated) coffee break to meet new friends, take a Zoom break, and get your AM caffeine fix.
Stop by for a few minutes or stay the whole time. Bring a friend or wander in solo. Come for the coffee and company, or just bring a book to read while surrounded by other in-real-life, community-seeking humans. Come by every Friday, or just when you happen to be in town. Make it whatever you need it to be that week. It's not an \*event\* per se, but we hope these Friday meet-ups can become a fixture of the bookshop!
Gathering spot will be in the downstairs area of the bookshop (near the Community Library). Coffee and tea are 1.50€ and can be purchased at the cash register upstairs. Find more info on our Instagram (@backstorybookshop) or website (www.backstorybookshop.com).
SmutSlam Barcelona: where steamy and storytelling collide
Barcelona’s only community dirty storytelling open mic rolls back into town on Thursday, March 12, with the theme “EPIC FAIL.” Tell us the times when things really, totally, spectacularly didn’t work. Schedules. Expectations. Toys. Romance. We’re celebrating the best of the worst.
Tickets: €12/early bird, €15 gen. adv, limited tickets available at the door
https://entradium.com/events/smut-slam-barcelona-barcelona-teatro-metamorfosis
Created and hosted by professional perv Cameryn Moore, Smut Slam features real-life, first-person sex stories from the audience, a panel of local judges, sexy prizes, and readings from THE FUCKBUCKET (anonymous questions and confessions)!
GUEST JUDGES TBA
\*\* Prizes and surprises from Überlube, Erotiquest, and our Armoire of Mystery
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
7-8pm: arrive early to get a drink and get your good seat!
8-10:30pm: a good old-fashioned Smut Slam! (with 1 intermission)
NOTE: This event is in English.
Created and hosted by professional perv Cameryn Moore, the Smut Slam features real-life, first-person sex stories from the audience, stories from guests and sometimes even celebrity judges, and also readings from THE FUCKBUCKET, a convenient and funnily named receptacle for all your anonymous questions and confessions!
IMPORTANT: Smut Slam is queer-friendly, kink- AND vanilla-friendly, fat-friendly, sex worker-friendly, virgin-friendly, polyamory-friendly, we're really, really friendly. We welcome people with all types and amounts of sexual experiences. We DO NOT welcome stories or fuckbuckets involving racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia or any other kind of discrimination, or nonconsensual objectification or fetishization. All activities discussed must be CONSENSUAL.
SMUT SLAM is CREATED by Cameryn Moore, an award-winning playwright/performer, sex activist and educator, and former phone sex operator. When not performing, riding the train, or actually having sex herself, Cameryn writes Sidewalk Smut: custom type-written erotica as street performance and literary art.
WE PRACTICE SAFER SMUT! DO NOT ATTEND if you are feeling poorly! There will be more slams!
\*\*\* We encourage you to test before coming, and to wear masks indoors. This remains one of the best ways to protect yourself against getting sick from COVID or any of the other airborne diseases going around.
\*\* As always, we are closely watching current COVID-19 rates, and as things change, one way or the other, we may loosen or tighten our pandemic protocols. We will never surprise you with changes, but tell you in advance, so you can make informed decisions. Smut Slam keeps both comfort and well-being in mind, for the community!
PLEASE NOTE: We have a strong Code of Conduct for everyone at a slam. We try very hard to run the event accordingly, and we want attendees to actually pay attention so you can help us create this safer space: [https://docs.google.com/.../1t3oY8KhH4xgrVxxqP-Vg.../edit...](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fdocument%2Fd%2F1t3oY8KhH4xgrVxxqP-Vg_pZ3NakGOn46J_LRMNjtvls%2Fedit%3Fusp%3Dsharing%26fbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR6B7VwUCeJBG7WhSU9gvyZUQS5iGiBioEXenabthJ-pysk6nnNJMcNnUHA2yA_aem_OGAl6H8lOaTTV1zanpBBew&h=AT3zlTO4EJ-FXZic_acWjMeIybchxMqKS9SdF_u2D46QytuWNFbG3GVdDvxwSiofQe6ZCKYBAc4YtlOp84f5dn-aYSRIJp4IFJzU6STrQktFy7UrwO-q0Bn55b8pfAgIiYhW1ddJkWuqVoWsQO06xw5z8igQ0M8jB3xOYA&__tn__=q&c%5B0%5D=AT0lgkxpHsumJC0tt7cqBALsLEAc3_MlUgVkABu4d1oYbRCFsmmg9IGU8ih5V0W5o1HJAT6ETZ9ihp7jgnoQtKjzrediyXv9Af5muq3HRz2af-rOXn85pwiNqlDubZQEGeXcSEfPF57YZ87qXK1WtuIg3Pcut-3QNSk) Please do take a moment to read this statement, thank you!

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
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!

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[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).
Unlocking Retirement Capital: Flips, Wholesales & Private Money Strategies
FREE meetup. Register HERE 🎟️- https://www.eventbrite.com/e/unlocking-retirement-capital-flips-wholesales-private-money-strategies-tickets-1983411263481?aff=cicmeetupapp
**Unlocking Retirement Capital: Flips, Wholesales & Private Money Strategies in Self-Directed Accounts**
**Featuring Guest Speaker:** Amanda Holbrook (Specialized Trust Company)
**Hosted by:** Columbus Investors Club
### **Event Description**
Most people think retirement accounts are passive.
That they’re “for later.”That you can’t touch them. That real estate and retirement money don’t mix.
They’re wrong.
This meetup is about how investors use **Self-Directed IRAs and Solo 401(k)s** to put retirement capital to work…**buying real estate, funding deals, and even raising private money** (the right way).
### **Featured Guest Speaker: Amanda Holbrook**
We’re excited to welcome **Amanda Holbrook of Specialized Trust Company** to break this down clearly and practically…so you understand what’s allowed, how it works, and what to avoid.
### **What You’ll Learn**
Amanda will walk through:
**Flip inside a Self-Directed IRA or Solo-401(k)**
* How to structure the deal correctly
* How expenses must be handled
* When UBIT may apply
**Wholesale within a retirement account**
* How assignments work
* What type of income it creates
**Use OPM (Other People’s Money) to scale**
* How investors raise private money from Self-Directed IRAs
* How to structure notes properly
* How to fund deals inside **and** outside your own retirement account
### **The Core Idea**
There is a lot of capital sitting in retirement accounts.
This session shows you how real estate investors unlock it **without guessing, winging it, or accidentally creating a compliance mess.**
### **Who This Event Is For**
* Investors flipping or wholesaling who want to understand self-directed rules
* Anyone raising private money (or wanting more capital sources)
* People with retirement funds who want them working harder than stocks/mutual funds
### **Event Details**
**Location:** Ohio Brewing Company – 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201
**Date & Time:** Thursday, March 26th, 6–8 PM *(Doors open at 5:30)*
**Cost:** Free *(Seats are limited — RSVP required)*
**Food:** Free food included
**FREE meetup. Register HERE** 🎟️- https://www.eventbrite.com/e/unlocking-retirement-capital-flips-wholesales-private-money-strategies-tickets-1983411263481?aff=cicmeetupapp
