I’m not someone who often ‘goes out’, but the vibes, music, and queer community of the Damn Girl disco-inspired Dances are more than enough to get me out of my house! Since they only happen once a month, this will be the last one I can go to before moving out of Columbus. Text Ada if you want to join!

(optional) Meet at Ada’s Place between 8:00-9:00 to hangout and/or carpool. I want to get there Before it Starts and stay until it closes!!

Communication: Send me a text whether or not you can make it – I’d love to keep track of who I’ll see!

STEAM Factory Info: Enter via the Teal door on the North end of the building with the door code 0812#. Go forward and use the same code at the next door, then follow signs for the STEAM Factory.

The STEAM Factory is a really cool multi-use space – we’ll have snacks, drinks, pizza, music, and games – but feel free to bring your own! My main goal is to be able to talk and spend time with people, so come as you are for as long as you’d like.

Parking Directions: Free parking in the gravel lot west of 400 Rich. If full, try the streets around the apartments to the south. Otherwise, there is paid street and garage parking.

My friend Valentijn is throwing himself a big birthday party, and I have taken the opportunity to sign myself up as a performer! I’ve been thinking lately about how much I enjoyed my time doing theatre, and wishing I had more outlets for performance.

Please come if you’d like to see me perform – all are welcome, as it’s also a public night at the venue!

About the Show

Over the Garden Wall is a 2014 animated mini-series (10 episodes ~10 min each) following the adventures of two brothers, Greg and Wirt, as they travel through spooky forests, mysterious villages, and unknown lands in an attempt to return home. It’s cute, funny, and has very good Old America Autumn vibes.
