2026 开年之际,
我们想把这杯酒,
敬给那些愿意为热爱长期投入,
也愿意把时间重新交还给生活的人。
这一夜,属于「时间自由者」
As the new year begins,
we raise this glass to those who choose to invest deeply in what they love—
and who are intentional about giving time back to their lives.
This evening is for the Time-Free.
他们可能正在经营一人公司,
或以自由职业、内容创业为主要路径;
也可能是博主、数字游民,
或一边工作,一边搭建属于自己的副业系统
身份不同,但有一个清晰的共通点:
对时间有意识,对选择有判断,
并持续探索一种更适合自己的生活方式
You might be running a one-person business, working independently, or building a content-driven path. You might be a blogger, a digital nomad, or someone balancing a main job while developing a side project of your own.
Different paths, one shared mindset: a conscious relationship with time, thoughtful decision-making, and an ongoing search for a better way to live and work.
这一次,我们选择在淮海中路百年历史保护建筑中的 Geographer 地理学家酒馆相聚。原始洞穴般的空间结构,结合优雅的法式浪漫氛围,为这场夜谈,提供一个有腔调的发生场域
We’ll be gathering at Geographer, located in a century-old heritage building on Huaihai Road. Its cave-like architecture and French romantic atmosphere create a character-rich setting—the perfect backdrop for an night of conversation.
这是一段为同频者准备的夜晚
在舒适的空间里,自然交流
聊正在发生的工作、创作与生活
也在彼此的经验中,找到新的灵感与方向
This is an evening designed for people on the same wavelength. In a relaxed, carefully curated space, conversations flow naturally—
about work, creation, and everyday life—
and through shared experiences, new ideas and directions begin to emerge.
Attendees 参与人群
本场活动邀请以下类型的城市时间自由探索者:
一人公司主理人 / 创业者 / 联合创始人
自媒体人 / 博主 / 内容创业者
自由职业者 / 顾问 / 独立服务提供者
数字游民 / 远程工作者 / 时间自主型工作者
正在搭建副业、关注 lifestyle 与长期成长的人
我们期待的是对生活有判断力、对交流有边界感、愿意倾听、也愿意分享真实经验的个体。
共同营造一个『松弛、精致、私密、自然』且真正聊得下去的高质量社交场

It has a history of over one thousand years and is one of the origins of the Chinese white-dressed Guanyin. Inside the temple, there are ancient buildings such as the Tibetan Buddhist Temple, the Liangfeng Hall, the Thousand Buddhas’ Pavilion, and the Huanghua Pavilion. There are also the Baiyunfeng, Ruituofeng and Ruituoquan scenic attractions nearby. It is a great place to visit and worship the Buddha.
If you come to Hangzhou as a pious supplicant,you don't necessarily have tovist Lingyin Temple-there are so many people there,how could the Buddha respond to all their prayers?The three temples of Tianzhu:Faxi,Fajing and Fa-jing are just next to Lingyin Temple,and are much quieter,purer places compared to the crowded clamour of Lingyin Temple.The Buddha can do his best to answer your prayers there,as you are the only one before him.

Inquiring About Tea at Dragon Well.
**Longjing (Dragon Well) green tea**
Located just south of Hangzhou province's beautiful West Lake, Longjing is home to China's most celebrated green tea, the color of jade, and has the fresh aroma of chestnuts and cut grass.
The best time to visit the area is during China's Qing Ming Festival (usually April), when most picking and roasting take place.
Longjing's tea villages and plantations are connected by a cycle pathway and a bus route. Longjing is home to the China National Tea Museum
Among the temples, pagodas, and gardens lining the shores of nearby West Lake sit many small tea houses where Longjing tea can be enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere.
漫步被岁月翻新的茶山,感受自然的馈赠与历史的沉淀。
乾隆下江南时曾经到胡公庙,细细品龙井茶后,对其称赞不绝并亲自将胡公庙前的十八棵龙井茶树列为御茶从此杭州龙井茶开始冠绝天下. Longjing village's tea plantations. At over 1200 years old Longjing offers history and culture in abundance.
清朝乾隆皇帝六巡江南,四访龙井,作了《再游龙井作》,诗中写道:“问山得路宜晴后,汲水烹茶正雨前。”明代文人高濂在《四时幽赏录》中提到:“西湖之泉,以虎跑为最。两山之茶,以龙井为佳。”虎跑泉配龙井茶,是大自然馈赠给杭州的珍品。
独步天下的龙井茶,以“色绿、香郁、味甘、形美”著称。一片片青绿的茶叶,不仅是茶农勤劳致富的依靠,更是经过西湖山水温润的历史文化,是千百年来一代代杭州人的烟火人间。
茶为国饮 杭为茶都中国茶叶博物馆是全国唯一的茶专题博物馆,也逐步成为西湖风景的一个不可或缺的组成
中国茶叶博物馆坐落于风景秀丽的茶都杭州,西湖龙井茶园环绕馆区四周,是我国唯一以茶和茶文化为主题的国家级专题博物馆。共有双峰馆区(龙井路88号)和龙井馆区(翁家山268号),两馆区占地面积共12.2万平方米,建筑面积共1.3万平方米。博物馆集茶主题文化展示、科普宣传、学术研究、国际交流、茶艺培训、互动体验及品茗、会务、休闲等服务功能于一体,是向世界展现中国茶历史文化的重要窗口,也是市民游客茶文化旅游活动的乐园。
China National Tea Museum
This charming themed museum dedicated to tea culture is also located in Long Jing Tea Village in the southwest of West Lake. The museum has variety of exhibition halls, each with a different tea-focused theme, such as tea history, extract, affairs, culture and tools. It is an amazing place where you can learn almost everything about tea and see treasured teas with thousand years of history. One more reason for visiting this museum is that it has a tea ceremony area where you can enjoy fresh tea in a calm and quiet atmosphere.

Queer Craftivists Club Meeting
**Calling all queer crochet enthusiasts;** I am a visual artist located in Columbus that is searching for people who may want to gather while also participating in creating a piece of artwork. My goal is to spend time enjoying one another’s company while making a work of art that will be displayed within our community. I plan to teach people to crochet (if unfamiliar) while also inviting current fiber artists to join us for some much-needed social interaction. There are no expectations from those who attend, materials will be included, and any amount of participation is welcome! If you have a favorite crochet hook or current project you are welcome to bring that along too! The primary goal is to foster a safe space for our community to chat, create and be. For further information please email [landerknits@outlook.com.](http://landerknits@outlook.com.)
\*This will be our 2nd meeting, bring friends and make new ones. Come as you are and make along side other like-minded folks.

A Must See movie by Christopher Nolan!
How can you reconstruct the past if you can't remember it? Leonard Shelby, an amnesiac, must do precisely that but so do we as viewers because much of the movie is told backwards. Nolan uses every cinematic trick in the book to help us see things as Shelby sees it. Widely acclaimed, we hope you will too!
Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games
Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations.
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that.
We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus.
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn.
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play.
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders…
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords…
IMPORTANT:
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for.
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
Happy 8th Birthday, GOhio! @ Pins Mechanical!!! 🎂 🎈 🍨 🎁 💐 🧁 🎉 🥳 🍰 🪅 📅
*GOhio!* turns 8!! 🥳 Come celebrate with us at [Pins Mechanical](https://www.pinsbar.com/locations/easton)! 😄
**Summary**
Pins Mechanical Co. is a social entertainment venue that combines old-school games like duckpin bowling, pinball, and other classic arcade and table games with craft cocktails, local beers, and punch. The vintage-industrial atmosphere is designed for playful, face-to-face gatherings with friends, family, and colleagues, offering a casual and lively alternative to a typical bar.
Pins' Easton location spans over 38,000 square feet, making it the largest in the United States. This massive entertainment venue features two floors, a mezzanine level with stadium seating, and three full-service bars. It offers 16 duckpin bowling lanes, two indoor bocce courts, and more than 60 classic and modern pinball and arcade games. For additional fun, the location is known for its two outdoor patios, an indoor slide, and an expanded patio pong setup.
**Activities**
As noted below, some machines take actual quarters. Pins has two change machines (one downstairs and one upstairs) that accept ones, fives, or tens (only), and return quarters (only).
* *Duckpin Bowling*
[Like Bowling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duckpin_bowling) but with smaller balls, stubby pins, and no oil on the lanes. The cost is $9 per game per person.
* *Pinball*
[Who](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Who)'s a [wizard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinball_Wizard) on these [retro machines](https://pinballmap.com/map/?by_location_id=15311)? At $1 per play, everyone! Takes quarters.
* *Arcade*
Play classics like Gorf, Pac-Man, Gorf, Donkey Kong, Gorf, Galaga, and Gorf! The best part is, there's Gorf! And all the arcade games are free!
* *Patio Pong*
The classic college party staple but bigger. Instead of tossing a ping pong ball into cups, you use a regular ball and oversized buckets. There are two of these upstairs, and they're both free!
* *Ping Pong*
The most popular sport in China! They have two ping pong tables downstairs and two more ping pong tables upstairs. For those of you who have studied topological spaces and set theory, you will know this means they have four total ping pong tables.
They have bubble gum dispensers with ping pong balls in them for 25¢ each. The dispensers take quarters. However, they also have racks where they store the ping pong paddles, and in these racks are slots for ping pong balls. It's not uncommon to see balls already here, so there's a chance you may be able to play ping pong for free if you want to.
* *Hookie*
You can't put your eye out! The safe alternative to darts: Hook thrown rings on a board. Outdoors on the upstairs patio, and free!
* *Bocce*
Like bowling, except there’s turf and a lot more balls. You can also knock your opponent’s balls out of the way. There are two of these upstairs, and they're both free!
* *Foosball*
Everyone loves [foosball](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_football)! 50¢ a game. Takes quarters.
* *Giant Jenga*
Stack massive wooden blocks into a tower, then take turns pulling out one block at a time without collapsing the tower. There are four of these sprinkled throughout the venue (two downstairs and two upstairs, with one on each patio), and they're all free!
* *Skeeball*
There are three skeeball machines on the first floor (near the Gorf machine!), and they're all free!
* *Giant Connect Four*
On the outdoor patio upstairs, and free!
* *Bubble Hockey*
This is upstairs. Up to four people can play at once, and it costs $1. Takes quarters.
* *Cornhole*
There are two cornhole lanes upstairs, and they're both free!
* *Basketball*
There are two basketball machines downstairs. They're tucked behind the downstairs bar, so they're not always obvious unless you go look for them. They're $2 per play, and they take quarters.
* *NES and Sega Genesis video games*
These are collections, downstairs (near the Gorf machine!), of video games that you can play for free!
* *The Big Metal Indoor Slide*
This large two-story slide is for kids, and certainly no adults would ride this. After all, it's not like it's free or anything.
**Outdoor Patio**
Pins at Easton actually has two outdoor patios. But for our purposes, only the upstairs one matters. See, it will be winter and likely cold. But their upstairs patio has multiple ceiling heaters and two massive gas fire pits that put out a ton of heat. Sitting out here may be a real option.
As mentioned above, the upstairs outdoor patio has one of the venue's two Patio Pong setups, one of their multiple Giant Jengas, the Giant Connect Four, and Hookie.
**Food**
Pins doesn't serve food, but there's a [Mikey's Late Night Slice](https://www.latenightslice.com/) next door. This Mikey's is basically an extension of the Easton Pins; there's a large open doorway between both establishments. Mikey's has a fountain dispenser with Coke products.
You can also get Coke and Diet Coke (but not Coke Zero, like you can at Mikey's) at the bars in Pins, but I think the quality of the soda pop from Mikey's fountain is better than that from the bar hoses Pins uses to dispense soft drinks.
You are also quite allowed at Pins to either bring food in or order it in via your favorite delivery app.
**Parking**
I recommend parking in the [Worth Garage](https://eastontowncenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/parking-at-easton-updated-file-sept-25.pdf). It's literally right next door to Pins, and it's free as long as you park on Level 2 or above.
They recently started charging people to park on Level 1, and you pay for parking on this level the same way you pay for street parking in Columbus, with the [ParkColumbus](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.parkmobile.parkcolumbus&hl=en_US&pli=1) app.
I've seen them enforce this by ticketing people's cars, but I don't know how they actually compel payment. The garage is not a public street that actual cops can write you tickets for parking illegally on. If you have an actual ticket from a cop that you don't pay, they can go so far as to issue a warrant for your arrest. But all Easton has, seemingly, is, "[Please pay our ticket](https://eastonpreferredpark.com/)." Still, in my ongoing efforts to eliminate needless stress and aggravation from my life, I just park above the first Level.
The actual address of the garage is [4049 Worth Ave, Columbus, OH 43219](https://www.google.com/maps/place/4049+Worth+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43219/@40.0542293,-82.9137962,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388a86de3af559:0xc1dc8b4661fc834f!8m2!3d40.0542293!4d-82.9137962!16s%2Fg%2F11sgzjp4ml?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDkyNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D). However, your GPS is stupid. The actual entrances to the garage are on the cross steets Brighton Rose Way and Fenlon St, not Worth Ave. Just keep this in mind once you get to the garage.
**Where we'll meet**
I'll post in the comments where I am. People will obviously want to explore different areas of the venue over the course of the event (and there's a lot to explore), but please just let me know (as in, come find me) once you've arrived.
**Peroration**
Come on out and say hi! 😄

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! For this event, we’ll help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents, wash dishes and clean surfaces at Fath Mission – Grant Kitchen. We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event:
FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. Our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.
PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:15am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.

\* Link with Additional Details / Info: https://lss.vomo.org/opportunity/faith-mission-grant-kitchen-2025
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With very few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve.
THANK YOU: This CMG Gives Back event provides an opportunity for YOU to get involved in helping others! Benefits go well beyond the help we give to others. Volunteering provides a wide range of personal benefits, including positive effects on mental and physical health, reduced stress/depression/anxiety, increased happiness and improved purpose, life-satisfaction and personal well-being! Plus, the opportunity to get involved, connect with others and help those in need.
PARTNER AGENCY: This event is hosted by Lutheran Social Services (LSS), which serves thousands of people in need each day in 27 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of food, shelter, safety and healing. LSS offers food through the LSS Food Pantries, housing and supportive services through LSS Faith Mission and LSS Faith Mission of Fairfield County homeless shelters, domestic violence services through LSS CHOICES for Victims of Domestic Violence, senior living and health care, affordable housing communities, and other services that uplift families and strengthen communities.
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
