Happy Sunday, nerds.  Unfortunately, our AI speaker Jed had to drop out this month, but don’t worry, because:

  1. He’s rescheduled for April
  2. We still have two fab speakers for you!  Details:

The FM Diversion – How did we get here and what is next?  The Fargo Diversion – if built – will be one of the largest projects done in the region in the last 40 years. The diversion is designed to reduce the chances of a devastating flood in the Fargo-Moorhead area. Because of its size, the process for planning and then implementing the diversion is complex. We will explore the complexity of such a large project and how that process has gotten us to this point and what is next.

DIY or Die:  The world of hot glue burns, adult summer camps, and your health.
From Pinterest to Youtube tutorials to r/DIY there are endless opportunities now to do-it-yourself and even make a living at it.  But you haven’t picked up a hot glue gun in 12 years so should you give a shit?  We’ll cannon ball into a pile of doilies and pom poms, cheers with a custom DIY shot glass, and discover why your future 80-year-old self will thank you for learning to weave at adult summer camp.
Ashley Morken is the owner and chief coffee drinker at Unglued – a modern handmade gift shop with crazy awesome events like an annual adult summer camp, monthly late night craft parties, and weekly workshops for kids and adults.  When she’s not falling behind on emails and small business life you’ll find her traveling, petting dogs, dreaming of another impossible idea, and spilling the next cup of coffee with her husband Justin.

You heard right- we’re making shot glasses. ????   Plus games, prizes, and ALCOHOL!! See you Wednesday March 21st, 7PM (doors at 6:30), Fargo Billiards and Gastropub.  Be there and be square.
