And now for something slightly different, we'll meet at Whino, located in the Ballstion Quarter Mall! Part wine bar, part art gallery, Whino has an even longer happy hour, from 4-8pm, so it's welcoming even to those who get out of work a little later in the night. They do have artwork on display all around, with art installations rotating periodically. Come in, grab a drink, and feel free to enjoy some of the art floating around the place! This place has a relatively large bar area, so we can gather around there until we get start to crowd. Tables are mostly waited, but I'll ask if the high tops can be used just to create overflow space for the bar. **Location details:** \#\#\# 4238 Wilson Blvd Second Floor \#\#\# Arlington\, VA 22203 ### \#\#\# Happy Hour 4\-8pm **HH Food/Drink Menu (Scroll mid-way for the Extended HH menus):** [https://www.whinova.com/menus](https://www.whinova.com/menus) \#\#\# 🅿️**Parking:** Cheapest parking around is to park in the Ballston Public Parking garage connected to the shopping center. 627 N Glebe Rd, Arlington, VA 22203 **NOTE: If the N.

Calling all gamers, developers, and video game enthusiasts! Dive into the vibrant world of indie games and play unique creations by talented local developers. Whether you're a seasoned gamer, an aspiring developer, or just curious about the indie scene, this is your chance to connect, play, and celebrate DC’s gaming community. **PARKING INFO**: Parking around this area is expensive ($15-20) and a bit annoying.

Mostly Broadway and Disney, all night. That’s right. No karaoke mic, just an old fashioned singalong. Step into the start of something: **Opening Acts & Fresh Starts.** This month’s singalong celebrates the songs that begin it all—the opening numbers, “I want” songs, and first steps that set stories in motion. From bold introductions to quiet moments of longing, these are the songs where characters (and maybe all of us) decide who they are and who they’re about to become. No solos required, enthusiasm strongly encouraged. Come scream-sing with friends, meet new ones, and start something together—loudly, and on purpose. 🌱🎤 I’ll get there by 6:30 pm to set up. Doors open by 7 pm if you get there early. We’ll be upstairs. You can join our FB group here to keep up with news and events, as well as vote for songs in the playlist: fb.com/groups/BADSingalong Generally looking at third Thursdays throughout 2026, adjusting for scheduling depending on conflicts for hosts, and holidays for regular attendees, which will be confirmed no later than the month before.

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
