Odd Ones Out: PHX Night Owls

Cross-posted with Flash Bards, my audio fiction collab Meetup.

This is a guided exercise for your imagination! Create a new persona in another world: Who are you (or who are they) and what is this other world like?

No preparation is necessary. Come as you are! Looking forward to seeing you there.

Note: Bring something to write and/or draw with (pen and paper or device) if that will help you create. Event link will be added on the day of the event.

Rose's has a new team trivia night: Thursday!
And we PHX Night Owls love any excuse for a Thirsty Thursday. As always, there will be non-alcoholic options available.

Location: 5th Avenue and McDowell Road in Central Phoenix

Why 6:30? Trivia starts at 7, but we have to get our drinks and settle into our team table before that.

Per their BYOF policy, you may bring outside food into Rose's.
For eats, they serve only flavored popcorn (by the local Poppies) and Vegetarian crab-flavored chips (by Utz). There are restaurants all around and sometimes a food truck in the parking lot. You can even order walk-over delivery from a couple of the restaurants (menus for those options are provided at Rose's).

The Phoenix Art Museum offers pay-what-you-wish admission on Wednesday nights. We'll meet outside the front entrance at 6:30 pm for introductions then head in to stroll around the museum. Find us by the fountain and grass outside.

The group is likely to spread out and wander somewhat separately, so we'll regroup outside the front entrance again at 8:00 pm when the museum closes. From there we'll go to a bar/restaurant nearby, location TBD (probably The Theodore or Pedal Haus on Roosevelt, walking as a group but you can also drive to meet us there). We will usually post where we end up in the event comments, so feel free to join us for just that portion if you'd like.

This will be a regular event about once a month.

A NOTE ABOUT PARKING: It can be difficult at the museum on busy nights, so a few other free options this time of night are parking at the Methodist church just north of the museum or at the Burton Barr library. The library is a great choice if you'll be walking with us for drinks/food after on Roosevelt, because it's about halfway between, and there will always be someone to walk back here with at the end of the night. Otherwise, paid parking is available near Roosevelt for that portion of the evening.

Welcome to Podd Club!

This club within our Meetup group is like a book club, but instead of reading, we will listen to a podcast before our discussion salon, which will be a small, intimate event.

The listening selection could be one podcast episode or episodes in a short series on a true crime or paranormal topic. In either case, it should take much less time than reading a novel. Every Podd Club event will be a new selection (instead of ongoing).

Because the venue is a member's private residence, the actual address will be sent to the final list of attendees the day before. The location is in Midtown, Central Phoenix and easily reachable by light rail and/or bus.

To help prevent no-shows, RSVPs will be closed until three weeks before the event date. That is also when the selection will be announced.

Very Important:
Please remove your RSVP if you have not finished listening to the selection three days before so that someone on the waiting list will have enough time to prepare to attend.

This event is BYOB. Bring a snack to share if you like.

See you there!
