Wonk & Whimsy: Show-&-Tell
Event description
A show-and-tell/special interests share night. Together we'll unabashedly celebrate our weird and wonderful obsessions, the gloriously mundane, and the totally, fabulously niche.
Hopefully the first of many!
Here's how it'll work:
We shall gather, leave the stress of the day behind, and prepare for whimsy.
Sit together and share our passions and interests (the more niche, or weird, the better!) through chats, presentations, and games.
You can present if you want, or just come along to enjoy.
Make crafts while we listen.
(optional) Bring an object you'd like to talk about! It can be something that evokes a memory or means something special to you. It can be something interesting or weird. It can be something you'd like to show off or something you'd like to give away. It can be whatever happens to be in your pocket! We'd love to hear about it!
If you'd like to give a longer share of something (for 5 minutes? 10 minutes? 15 minutes?), let us know! It can take the form of a chat, a PowerPoint, or a traditional show and tell. You can read a poem you like, share a song, show a meme, and we can talk about it - anything!
This is a sharing, and we'd love, love, love, to be shared with!
First come, first served - https://forms.gle/SJhVkSkAMLNik6ZC6
Rules:
No judgement zone, how often can we just be unabashedly enthusiastic about how cool and weird the world is?!
If you give a presentation;
"What should I give a presentation on?" - anything!
No, you don't have to have any qualifications in your subject, or indeed have any idea what you're talking about.
It's a sharing, not a performance. You do not have to be good; there is no such thing.
Niche-ness is encouraged; tell us about frogs, or trains, or an obscure theory of metaphysics, or about the life and times of Chappell Roan; BUT we'd also love to hear about the glands on a specific frog, the turf war between rival designers of particular trains, an obscure definitional repudiation of piece of metaphysics, or a deep dive on just the first verse of "Pink Pony Club" - what are the things you never get to talk about!
