Gone are the days where you had to be born into the circus to fly through the air. This past week Events & Adventures Minneapolis took to the air and conquered their fears at Twin Cities Trapeze! In fact, nine of our members came out on Sunday afternoon to check an item off their bucket list and fly through the air.

We each took a turn climbing up a 20 foot ladder to the platform high above, and with our hearts pounding we jumped off into the air, leaving our fears behind. We were able to climb up and jump off about a half-dozen times each to perfect our tricks—or at least do what some said we would never do. By the end of the class, some members were even able to hang by their knees and reach out for a mid-air catch with the instructor!

The instructors were amazing and very helpful, especially with those of us who were a little nervous jumping off the platform for the first time. And even though most of our heart rates did not drop for a day or two, we can’t wait to get back! It’s just another weekend of excitement for Events & Adventures members in the Twin Cities.

Welcome to Games Night with Events & Adventures Vancouver—now happening right after the New Members Icebreaker each and every month! These two back-to-back events are both located at the beautiful and welcoming Elephant & Castle, right by Burrard Station. Games Night has definitely become one of our Vancouver club’s must-do events!

What started as a more intimate gathering for board game lovers is now easily one of our most popular events. We begin the evening by introducing and warming up our newest members with a few icebreaker games, before the party really gets started, and just in time for all of our wonderful other members to join in on the fun! These events have grown to regularly include 40 to 50 fun-loving singles; in fact, it’s become so expected that our host venue The Elephant & Castle has now reserved the entire upstairs lounge just for us!

We provide the games; you just get your mingle on! E&A brings some of the most loved board games that are perfect for parties and getting to know others, like Cards Against Humanity, Dirty Minds, Cranium, Trivial Pursuit, Apples to Apples, and even more. Have your own new game that you’d like to share? Bring ’em out for all to enjoy! Don’t miss out on the fun every first Friday of the month with Events & Adventures Vancouver!

It seems like just yesterday we were hugging and wishing our friends and loved ones a Happy New Year. Fast forward just a few days and all of a sudden we find ourselves in the month of love! Where has the time gone? While the majority of your friends have probably already dropped their New Year’s resolutions, you can be confident that you’ll keep at least one of yours—making a drastic change in your social life this year.

Valentine’s Day can be depressing for many singles in Chicago, but it certainly doesn’t have to be. When was the last time you treated yourself to a day at the spa? Perhaps a dinner with your best friends is in order. Maybe it’s time to get out and try something new or see some new faces. And if discovering new things is your cup of tea, Events & Adventures can give you 40 new things to try each month.

How cool would it be if you had 70 other people to hang out with on Valentine’s Day? Our annual Valentine’s Day party this year will have plenty of dancing, food and dozens of people just like you looking to get out, have fun, and make new friends. Dancing not your thing? Try one of our wine tastings. Ever heard of bubble soccer? As soon as you do, you’re gonna want to sign up for it. How about archery tag? This year is the year of you living a life you love, and joining Events & Adventures gives you so much more life to live than just a Valentine’s date. So skip the box of chocolates this year and give yourself the gift of fun. And who knows, maybe you’ll meet that special someone while you’re at it.
