30's

Join Elder Millennials Callie Pigeon and Delilah Dentata for a burlesque and variety tribute to the Y2K era! Did you shamelessly pirate music on Napster? Are you glad wide-legged jeans are making a comeback? Do you miss cryptically expressing your emotions in your AIM away message? Did you maintain a healthy sense of competition between your friends through Myspace’s Top 8? And, finally: Bath and Body Works’ Cucumber Melon or Love Spell? Rub on some body glitter, feed your Tamagotchi, grab your Motorola Razr, and join us at this burlesque and variety celebration of Y2K music, culture, and - for better or worse - fashion. Y2K-era outfits ABSOLUTELY ENCOURAGED. Delia’s, JNCO, Hot Topic, PacSun… whatever vibes speak to you. Tickets: $23.18 TICKET LINK: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/now-thats-what-i-call-burlesque-vol-3-blue-da-booty-da-ba-di-tickets-1962695180118?aff=oddtdtcreator](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/now-thats-what-i-call-burlesque-vol-3-blue-da-booty-da-ba-di-tickets-1962695180118?aff=oddtdtcreator)

🎯Goal Focus & Flow is a casual, women only event created for deep focus, intentional progress, and genuine connection.🌞 Bring whatever you’re currently working on, studying, planning, writing, researching, job searching, creative projects, or personal goals and spend focused time working independently while surrounded by other women doing the same. The energy is calm, supportive, and rooted in mutual growth. At the end of the session, we’ll do a brief, optional share where participants can talk about what they worked on and what they learned. Sharing insights helps reinforce learning, spark ideas for others, and turn individual progress into collective knowledge. This space is intentionally designed to help women: 🎯 Stay accountable to their goals ✅ Learn from one another in an organic, low-pressure way 🧠 Retain what they’re working on by reflecting and sharing 👯‍♀️ Build friendships while growing side by side The shared focus and reflection create a natural sense of connection, allowing friendships to form through growth rather than small talk. Location note: For women’s safety and comfort, the venue will not be shared publicly. The exact location will be shared privately in the group chat with confirmed attendees. Join the group chat here: https://chat.whatsapp.com/H533SlZi8h70XjkN6iSEws Come as you are. Work at your own pace. Leave with clarity, momentum, and the feeling that you’re not growing alone.

Bring a few books or other media (dvds, cds, records) that you’d like to give away or swap! Be prepared for a little show and tell for your books. Feel free to get breakfast or a snack. We will meet at the Panera in downtown Rockville (East Middle Lane). This is Book Swap #3 and first time we are trying out the Sunday morning slot.

We will meet outside as long as the weather is nice. If not, we will move inside. Look out for a comment the morning of each meeting with our exact location. As we are meeting in person, please remember to bring something to read as we usually spend some time sharing our current reads and/or reading when meeting in person. As a reminder, there is no assigned reading; please bring whatever you are currently working on. This group is super casual, sometimes we read and sometimes we talk the whole time. **** NO SHOW POLICY: Due to the high number of members on the waitlist recently we are having to reinstate our no-show policy. If you sign up and no-show to 2 events you will be removed from the group. Reminders are provided weekly to change your RSVP to allow those on the waitlist a chance to come to the meet-up, no 3rd chances with be given. Please be considerate to your fellow members.

Our second Oddball Adventure follows a teenage boy’s unexpected experience over the course of two days in the London borough of Croydon. He’s a fan of punk music, and after a good old head-banging session at a local club, he and his two buddies wander around until they happen upon a house where a party is in progress. They knock, and to their surprise they’re invited inside where strange characters are dancing to strange music. Despite the weird atmosphere, the protagonist is attracted to a girl who’s never heard of punk rock and wants to learn about it. The pair run off into the night for an escapade of cosmic proportions. ■ Title — *How to Talk to Girls at Parties* ■ Director — John Cameron Mitchell ■ Cast — Elle Fanning, Alex Sharp, Nicole Kidman ■ Rating — R ■ ©2017 \| 1h 42m \| Comedy\, Music\, Romance\, Sci\-Fi

📚 Do you love reading, but wish you had a structure and a community to share your insights with? Join our small circle of curious minds (just 4 members per gathering) as we come together for an hour of focused reading—in the calm setting of a library or the cozy atmosphere of a café. Here’s how it works: First part: Quiet reading on your own—bring a book you’re exploring, whether it’s philosophy, history, psychology, literature, or anything meaningful to you. Second part: We regroup and each person shares key takeaways, insights, or questions sparked by their reading. This sparks a structured yet free-flowing conversation around ideas, perspectives, and personal reflections. Why join? Add structure to your reading habit. Discover new books, authors, and ideas through others’ choices. Build real connections by sharing and listening deeply. Socialize around something meaningful instead of small talk.
