### Casual Adult Hangout at Acorn Park!

Let's ditch the screens and have some real-life conversations at Acorn Park Pond! This is a super casual gathering for adults to connect and chat.
When & Where: Acorn Park Pond 29 Acorn Park Dr, Cambridge, MA
Getting There:

• Train Accessible: Just 0.04 miles from Alewife Station!
• Plenty of parking available at Alewife Station.

What to Expect: I'll be providing music and play host to ensure a relaxed atmosphere. Please bring your own beverages in discreet containers.
We're going to dive into some fun, conversation-starting questions, like:

• If you could hang out with any cartoon character, who would it be?
• If you could add a word to the dictionary, what would it be and what would it mean?
• Cats or dogs? Crunchy peanut butter or smooth?
• What's a movie you can rewatch over and over again?
• Link at the bottom with more examples.

Absolutly No Political talk.
Dont ask anyone about thier job, a lot of people dont want to talk about work when they are off.

A Couple of Important Notes:

1. Respectful Interactions: If someone isn't interested in continuing a conversation, they'll say, "Sorry, I'm not interested." Please simply thank them and move on. Let's keep the vibe positive and avoid any scenes. I'm working hard to make this a great group, and I'd like to keep my job, please dont get me arrested.
2. Beverages: While I must officially say "NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES" (to avoid issues and ensure the event isn't shut down), feel free to bring any beverage you like in a concealed container. Just be discreet and responsible.
3. Standing You will be standing for two hours so wear comfortable shoes

Looking forward to some great chats!

## West Coast Swing: No Ballroom, Just Barroom Fun!

Forget everything you think you know about formal dancing. West Coast Swing is blowing up, and it's nothing like ballroom. Think the sexy vibe of tango, but in a super approachable style that anyone can pick up. Seriously, it only takes three basic moves to get started, and you can learn them your very first night. I've been dancing for about 18 months, and if I can do it, you absolutely can too! If you're feeling a little shy, I'm happy to show up early and work with you one-on-one.

This isn't just about dancing; it's for a great cause. This event is a charity fundraiser for Boston Children's Hospital. It's organized by a couple who are among the best dancers in the world across various styles. They kick things off with a beginner's lesson, and then everyone hangs out, dances, and parties. Even if you've never danced a step in your life, come on down! Everyone is incredibly welcoming and will help you feel comfortable and confident on the dance floor. Plus, the drinks are super cheap!

I'll come up with something for our group to wear or an identifying marker so we can easily spot each other and tell who's with our crew. Just a heads-up: not everyone at the event will be single, but on the bright side, there will definitely be single people outside of our group too!

This Bar looks like fun, lets check it out

I will limit this even to 12 (5 additional men and 6 women) just to try to keep the numbers even. The seating first comes first serve I will have ice breaker games for us while we are waiting to take our seats. Bring your A Flirting Game because this will be fun.

At Hecate, we craft an unparalleled experience that embodies the essence of mystery and intrigue. We are a welcoming haven where you can escape the mundane and immerse yourself in an environment that captivates and delights.
This is a safe space for the curious — a secretive sanctuary where you can trust us to take care of you.
Hecate is dedicated to being a place where every moment is savored, and every detail feels like a continuance of a story.

Named after the Greek goddess, Hecate is where time slows, and every detail whispers for your attention. Each drink here has a story, meticulously crafted by our beverage director, Lou Charbonneau, who pulls inspiration from spice markets, distant travels, and culinary wonders. We blend the old with the new, creating cocktails that dance between the familiar and the novel—a refined chaos in every glass.

Step inside, and you’ll find an ambiance that’s intimate yet intriguing. Dimly lit with rich textures, the space is a mix of vintage and modern, all set to house beats that pulse through the night. Our bartenders? They’re center stage, crafting liquid masterpieces and, if you’re curious, ready to share a cocktail story or two.

When I am booking this for the 14. Now if I have to reschedule dont hate me. August is a super busy dancing month for me with competitions. As of right now I think that date should work. I will give you guys plenty of notice if it has to change

Who: All the single people in their 30's + , within reason.

Please Bring Cash just to make it easier for seperate checks
