**NEW LOCATION - THE GROVE** (MOPAC & Spicewood Springs Road) Come join a lively conversation while sipping some wonderful wines and sharing delicious appetizers with fellow compatriots who long to discuss life, love, literature and anything else that strikes our fancy. The salon will meet once a month on the second Monday of the month. Each conversation session will be hosted by one of the members of the group whose job will be to stimulate and manage the discussion. Participants will be encouraged to share in the conversation, and expand their creativity through listening, speaking and sometimes writing. We appreciated the conversation about our global connections led by Mahani last month. This month come prepared to share your strategies about how to speak truth to power when you're not even sure what the truth actually is. Wines and appetizers are moderately priced at The Grove. "Our distant relatives gathered around the fire. Since then, most cultures have had some form of social form like the salon. It's just basic to being human - people need to get together and talk over the things they care about and believe in." *Salons: the Joy of Conversation by Jaida Sandra, Jon Spayde and the Editors of the Utne Reader* The objective of the salon is to encourage creativity, involvement, and participation in Austin's lively and energetic art and culture, and stimulate our own creativity.

Love poetry and need friends who understand you? We're devotees of the line and line break too 💖 Join Creative Friendship Lab for a casual mixer to celebrate National Poetry Month in April! Whether you're a reader, a writer, both (or possibly even neither?), we invite you to sit down with us, have a cozy matcha latte or a big fluffy pretzel, and talk about poems. **About Us** This group is a project by *Difficult Friends,* a community-run arts & intellectual salon: [Website](https://www.difficultfriends.com/) ⟡ [Substack](https://difficultfriends.substack.com/) ⟡ [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/difficultfriends/) It's part of our Creative Friendship Lab events line-up! The Creative Friendship Lab encourages people from all walks of life to explore the rich emotional and social world around them, while pursuing individual and shared creative projects. Our Lab invites both serious artists and just-budding amateurs to come enjoy our events and experiments. **Event Details: Our National Poetry Month Mixer** This week, we'll be meeting at Easy Tiger at the Linc at 2 PM on April 19th to just chitchat. I'll be printing out some of my favorite poems to share with y'all and leave on the table as discussion starters, and there will be pens and paper available for people who want to doodle! But yeah, just a casual hang. No assignments or readings this week! If you'd like to see what we do when we're in full writing mode, check out our previous workshops on [Origin Stories](https://www.meetup.com/creative-friendship-lab/events/313938791/) and [Emotion, Memory, and Color](https://www.meetup.com/creative-friendship-lab/events/313994687/). Looking forward to seeing everyone there\~\~ Thank you in advance for bringing your passion for poetry to our group! I was particularly excited to see some people writing poetry for the first time at our events earlier this month. Whether you’re just starting to explore your own creativity or you’ve been committed to it for decades, we hope you’ll join us for this lowkey mixer of poets & lovers. \*\*\* ***[Difficult Friends](https://www.difficultfriends.com/)*[: Uniting Creative Friendship Lab x Dissent School](https://www.difficultfriends.com/)** There are things that can only happen between people who are genuinely present to each other. Not performing, not managing, not carefully calibrating what they show. Wholehearted creative collaboration is one of them. Real intellectual encounter is another. The kind of friendship that actually sustains people through difficulty is a third. Difficult Friends organizes two community-run grassroots projects in Austin: [Creative Friendship Lab](https://www.meetup.com/creative-friendship-lab/) and [Dissent School](https://www.meetup.com/dissent-school). Our mission is to develop in members: (1) creative confidence, (2) intellectual independence, and (3) the subtle skills needed to form close friendships. We think it’s good to be a [Difficult Friend](https://difficultfriends.com/). Friendship itself is difficult to the degree that it is both genuine and built across difference. You will find our events creatively and intellectually challenging. They will put you in touch with people in ways that are energizing but unfamiliar. *But Difficult Friends are friends worth having.* Follow us on [Substack](https://difficultfriends.substack.com/) or [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/difficultfriends/) to get access to all our events. And please consider donating to us through our Meetup page. It really makes a difference. **Creative Friendship Lab's Session-Based Structure** This is a group designed to incubate close creative friendships. We run themed sessions that last 2-4 weeks of small, interconnected workshops and events. If you come to our sessions, you will get to know your creative cohort very well over a short time period. You will do cool work and make new friends who like to write, draw, take photos, etc. Your session cohort will also have the opportunity to join a Signal thread just for people in that session. The link will only be shared at in-person events for that session. And the thread will be closed and archived after the session ends. The session thread is designed to let people from the session keep in touch during their workshop period. The thread closes to encourage people to carry out individual connections away from the pressures of a continuing group dynamic. However, each event will also be able to stand on its own! So you should feel free to come by whenever, regardless of your attendance at prior events. We welcome first-timers always :-) Members are free to drop in and out of the Lab. We encourage everyone to feel a sense of freedom and lightness while doing as much or as little with the community as they please. **Creative Friendship Lab's Guiding Principles** “I am made and remade continually. Different people draw different words from me.” ― Virginia Woolf, *The Waves* “In each of my friends there is something that only some other friend can fully bring out. By myself I am not large enough to call the whole man into activity; I want other lights than my own to show all his facets.” – C.S. Lewis, *The Four Loves* "Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. I use the word ‘love’ here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace—not in the infantile American sense of being made happy but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.” — James Baldwin, *The Fire Next Time* "Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born." — Anaïs Nin, *The Diary of Anaïs Nin* **Statement of Welcome and Inclusivity** The Creative Friendship Lab is for everybody! We are an inclusive community space, and we particularly seek to protect and welcome our LGBTQIA+, queer, transgender, and nonbinary members. Event attendees may be asked to share their preferred pronouns and will be asked to respect the preferred pronouns shared by other participants. Women, immigrants, people of color, religious minorities, people with disabilities, and neurodivergent folks seeking a diverse community are also especially encouraged to attend! That said, no particular identity performance is needed, desired, or expected from participants in our Lab. Come as you are and know you have a seat at our table, no matter how life has brought you into our community. **Empowering All Members to Lead** Creative Friendship Lab is a volunteer-run organization focused on encouraging members' creative confidence. Towards that end, we value all our members not only as attendees and followers, but also as continually developing community leaders. [Please click on this link for an overview of this organization's skill-based path to leadership development](https://docs.google.com/document/d/14AezcXqTm2i4abJiUx68r8goXMuKEMqWuzZs5nO_3vQ/edit?usp=sharing). The Leadership Skill Tree covers everything from the powers of one-time event attendees to instructions for becoming a Co-Organizer in our community. We also offer an all-member feedback form. Please take advantage of it, knowing your feedback is important, helps us improve, and will be collected anonymously: https://forms.gle/rxP7J2XLqcZrLpwVA **Supporting Our Community** Most of our events are offered on a donation basis to minimize financial barriers. Please consider making a donation if you would like to contribute to our mission, allow us to offer more meaningful events, and help defray the costs of our [meetup.com](http://meetup.com) hosting fees. Or not! We appreciate the many ways in which everyone contributes to our community, whether via financial or other means—simply by showing up and being kind, you are doing a good thing :-) **About Me (Personally)** I'm a writer living in Austin with my dog, Cookie. If you're interested in following my thoughts, you can find me at https://substack.com/@rachelsummercheong I love long essays, fiction, and philosophy. I also like to draw and go out dancing.

**\*\*\*RSVP ON MEETUP ALONE DOES NOT RESERVE A SPOT ON THE TRIP\*\*\*** **[About the Park](https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/caprock-canyons)** If you're looking for a stunning outdoor adventure, Caprock Canyons State Park in the Texas Panhandle is an absolute gem! This sprawling 15,000-acre park showcases gorgeous, rugged canyons shaped over time by wind and water, creating some truly breathtaking scenery. One of the coolest features? It's home to the official Texas State Bison Herd – you will spot these majestic animals roaming the landscape! With over 90 miles of trails, there's plenty to explore whether you're into hiking, biking, or horseback riding. The park also features prairie dog towns, camping options ranging from primitive sites to convenient drive-up spots, and spectacular viewpoints like Holmes Creek Canyon. Don't miss the Folsom Historic Site, a beautiful natural bridge, and the intriguing Fern Cave – they all add to your visit! **About the Work** The park rangers would like us to do trailway bridge work along with brushing trails. **About Transportation** Participants are responsible for their own transportation. Carpooling is encouraged; please contact other attendees on this trip to arrange your carpool. **About Lodging** We will be tent camping within the state park, at the South Prong area (no electrical or water). Participants are responsible for bringing their own camping equipment. **About Meals** Participants bring their own breakfasts and lunches. For evening meals, you and your cooking group (TBA) will feed the entire group one evening - this includes bringing and preparing the food, as well as dish patrol (washing pots/pans/etc.) **About Our Day Off** Sunday April 19 is our day to enjoy the park- participants can decide what they want to do during this day. There are usually hikes or other outings organized within the group. ***But wait - there’s more!*** On Saturday April 18, (after Palo Duro SP, and before Caprock Canyons SP) we get to check out a huge area nearby that is not open to the public, and won’t be for at least three years! The [Cross Bar Special Recreation Management Area](https://friendsofcrossbarsrma.org) is big - 11,883 acres. It is the only BLM land in Texas. We have received special permission to have them guide us across private property to get to the preserve. They are meeting us at the gate at 10:30am on Saturday April 18. It is about an hour drive from Palo Duro. The gate’s address is 9610 Brickplant Road, Amarillo, TX. After exploring the Cross Bar, many of us will proceed to Caprock Canyons State Park (2 hour drive) for another week long service project. **TO SIGN UP FOR CAPROCK CANYONS SP SERVICE PROJECT:** 1. **RSVP on Meetup.** The Meetup may show as full, but if you want to come, please sign up.

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
