30's

Get ready for a night of feel-good hits from the 60s, 70s, and 80s as the Young Relics Band brings the soundtrack of your favorite memories to life. From Motown grooves and disco classics to iconic rock anthems and irresistible dance hits, this is your excuse to sing loudly, dance freely, and maybe flirt a little between songs. Whether you come solo or with friends, expect great music, easy conversation, and plenty of opportunities to meet fun new people. Grab a drink, bring your best moves, and see where the night takes you—because the best connections sometimes start on the dance floor. 💃🕺🎹🎤🎸🥁🎺🍺🍻🍹🍸

Come join other guys in their 20s and 30s for a friendly group run. This run is not competitive and all skill levels are welcome. Join our [Slack](https://join.slack.com/t/arlington-run-club/shared_invite/zt-2lq70wa9t-INw_xk~MnZM~U41EQsKcXQ) to keep up to date with the group! **MEETING SPOT:** We'll meet a little before 6:30 PM at Ballston Local on N Glebe in front off the restaurant. See the pin below. Parking at the mall is only $1.00 after 6:00 PM. Then we'll head out right at 6:30 PM and eventually end up back where we started. **ROUTE INFO:** Here's our regular Thursday route, from the Bluemont Junction Trail to the W&OD Trail to the Custis Trail (about 4 miles): [https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/5952134599/](https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/5952134599/) When viewing the route, you may want to login with a MapMyRun account and bookmark the route so you can load it later from the MapMyRun app on your phone. **POST-RUN:** After the run, we'll grab a drink nearby for those who are interested in sticking around. **WEATHER:** We won't run in the middle of a thunderstorm, but we'll still go if there's light rain. Many of us will plan to meet at the start time regardless and we can make a call then. We've learned that the weather can change quickly, so there's not much point in canceling the run prematurely. **RSVP:** If you are interested in joining, please join the group and then sign up for this event so we know you're coming. You're welcome to bring a friend -- all guys in their 20s and 30s are welcome -- but please have them sign up through Meetup or shoot us a message so we know how many people to expect.

Join the Bitcoin District Book Club! We meet every month to explore new and exciting rabbit holes by reading books that are popular with bitcoiners. Join us for a deep dive into *The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy* by William Strauss and Neil Howe. In this session, we’ll explore one of the most influential modern frameworks for understanding historical cycles and generational change—and why its predictions seem increasingly relevant today. Strauss and Howe propose that history moves in recurring cycles, or “turnings,” each lasting roughly 20–25 years and shaped by generational archetypes. According to their model, societies pass through four phases: a High, an Awakening, an Unraveling, and finally a Crisis—the “Fourth Turning.” This final phase is marked by institutional breakdown, social upheaval, and a restructuring of the political and economic order. We’ll discuss where we might currently sit within this cycle, how past Fourth Turnings (like the Great Depression and World War II era) unfolded, and what this framework suggests about the coming decade. For those interested in macro trends, generational dynamics, and long-term historical patterns, this book offers a provocative lens for interpreting today’s instability—and what may come next. Buy the book on [Amazon](https://a.co/d/0dNwKse5) **Event Notes:** * Discussion Starters: We’ll kick things off with a few key questions around generational cycles and crisis periods, but feel free to bring your own perspectives. * Future Reads: Let us know if you have recommendations for future book club selections! We’ll add them to the list posted [on our website](https://bitcoindistrict.org/bookclub). * Afterwards: Feel free to join us at Pubkey after the meeting to hang out, continue the conversation, and grab some food! **Getting There:** * 🔴🟢🟡 Gallery Place/Chinatown + 2 min walk * Parking: Street & garage parking available nearby
