SUMMARY:Spring Writers Group 2
DESCRIPTION:A weekly writers’ group focused on creating community by mutually reading and discussing each other’s work. Each session will begin with a free write. This is very loose and allows for some flexibility for people to arrive after the start. After this\, we will jump into the critique\, which will be split into two sections. In Section One\, the writer cannot speak and will listen to the initial reactions from everyone else in the group for 30 minutes. In Section Two\, the author will have the opportunity to respond to the critique and ask any questions they would like clarification on. Both sections are very conversational! Fiction or creative nonfiction only (1500-3000 words). Hosted by Maxx Zenisek and Carly Travis.  \n\n\n\nThis workshop session is currently FULL. Next sign up opens in June.

SUMMARY:Bring Your Own Vinyl Night
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of music exploration into the night. Music selection will be curated by our readers on a first come\, first serve basis\, and will be tied to the event’s theme. This month’s theme is Music for Earthlings: the weirder the better. If you’ve ever come across a vinyl that made you think no way was this made for human consumption\, this is your time to shine. Alternatively\, if you have a vinyl that you would play for extraterrestrials to introduce them to our species’ greatest musical feat\, bring it and hope for some undercover aliens in the audience.  \n\n\n\nStop by after work or class and unwind with fellow listeners as they share more insights on their vinyl selection. If you’re looking to expand your music taste and kick off your weekend with a surge of galactic vibes\, then swing by the pub Friday\, April 24. \n\n\n\n\nAdd your email for music & vinyl events

SUMMARY:Spring Writers Group 2
DESCRIPTION:A weekly writers’ group focused on creating community by mutually reading and discussing each other’s work. Each session will begin with a free write. This is very loose and allows for some flexibility for people to arrive after the start. After this\, we will jump into the critique\, which will be split into two sections. In Section One\, the writer cannot speak and will listen to the initial reactions from everyone else in the group for 30 minutes. In Section Two\, the author will have the opportunity to respond to the critique and ask any questions they would like clarification on. Both sections are very conversational! Fiction or creative nonfiction only (1500-3000 words). Hosted by Maxx Zenisek and Carly Travis.  \n\n\n\nThis workshop session is currently FULL. Next sign up opens in June.

SUMMARY:Movie Night
DESCRIPTION:Come kick back on the couch for a relaxed projector movie night. Tickets include popcorn! We’ll be playing Close-Up (1990) at 7:30 pm. \n\n\n\nAbout the film: Internationally revered Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami has created some of the most inventive and transcendent cinema of the past thirty years\, and Close-up is his most radical\, brilliant work. This fiction-documentary hybrid uses a sensational real-life event—the arrest of a young man on charges that he fraudulently impersonated the well-known filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf—as the basis for a stunning\, multilayered investigation into movies\, identity\, artistic creation\, and existence\, in which the real people from the case play themselves. With its universal themes and fascinating narrative knots\, Close-up has resonated with viewers around the world. \n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets
