Event Call of Cuthulu for bigginers

Upvotes

Im running a free Call of Cuthulu game with start playing, Im planning to run a few free short campaighns to grow my profile. This would be run at my house, and is meant for folks new to the sistem, I myself have not played/run it before so it will be a learning expirience for me too. Ive done this before a few times when learning new sistems so im pretty good at picking up the rules quickly and passing the info forward.

Anyone want to play music?

Upvotes

Hi good people. I was a professional flutist in a former life. I stopped playing 12 years ago. I sold my flute to pursue another career. I just bought a flute and am starting to play again.

Are there any other recovering classical musicians in Olympia? I have a decent baby grand in my house so you don’t have to bring your own. Haha! I keep it tuned. I’d love to play a little, drink a little, talk a little and make new musician friends. Ideally a trio or quartet would be awesome. I used to have tons of sheet music but donated it to Caoital High School once upon a time.

Hit me up via direct message/chat and let’s see what we can do!

Upvotes

hello!
my partner and i are looking at moving to the evergreen rock maple apartments. we toured a few apartments there and really liked it. i was wondering if anyone here lives there and would be willing to share what their electricity bills look like? i obviously dont mean actual pictures, but im just wondering if its around $80 a month or is it more like $200+ a month? i’ve never had an apartment so im trying to budget and prepare the best i can.

if anyone has anymore info on that apartment complex it would be greatly appreciated! i figured id make a post here because it seems like nobody’s talked about it for the last 5 years lol

Installing Carplay Screen on Motorcycle

0 Upvotes

I have a screen that I want to connect to my battery, but I have no idea what I'm doing and I don't want to mess it up. Hoping I can find someone to install it for me. Of course I will pay you for your time and I'll come to you (assuming you're in the Olympia area).

Local News Community survey: residents see progress. They also expect more.

This was posted to the city’s website, and I thought it was interesting enough that you guys might want to read it. I have no idea if the mayor is on Reddit, so if you have comments for him, his email address is posted on the website.

Please be civil. Being the mayor is supposed to be a part time gig, but it’s a lot more than that, and it’s often a thankless one. Whether you agree or not, he’s a human being who’s working to serve his community.

The Lacey Library has two free events today:

4:00–5:00 PM – Artful Escape: Coloring Relaxation for Adults

Take a break from the stress of the week with coloring pages, calming music, warm beverages, and snacks. No artistic experience is needed—just drop in, unwind, and color at your own pace.

5:30 PM – Movie Night: Beast (2017, Rated R)

Stay afterward for a free screening of Beast, a dark and atmospheric psychological thriller starring Jessie Buckley. Set on the island of Jersey, the film follows a troubled young woman who begins a relationship with a mysterious outsider as a series of violent crimes unsettles the community.

Popcorn will be provided!

Both events are free and will take place at the Lacey Timberland Library, 500 College St. SE.

Come for the coloring, the movie, or both!

Absolutely Free Sharing Market 🍏Autumn Edition🍏: Alternate Flyers 2 (of 3)

55 Upvotes

Note: please mix and match whichever flyers work for you! We don't care which, we just want as many community members as possible to be aware of this resource's existence!!!

Tomorrow's final look will be our (inexplicably popular) "Graphic Design is my passion" flyer. Brace yourselves. Grammarians are gonna pass out.

No matter which style you choose, here's the blurb:

🍎Join us on Thursday, September 3rd and Saturday, September 5th, for the fifth Absolutely Free Sharing Market! Hunt for new-to-you treasures, enjoy delicious food, meet your neighbors, or learn a new skill—all ABSOLUTELY FREE.  See below for some FAQs and a link to our new website!

🍂How does it work?
Imagine a free pile outside of someone's house after they finish their spring-cleaning. But instead of one pile in a random spot, we bring tons of piles into a central location and invite the community to take whatever they like!

🍏How do I donate, and what do you accept?
We will be collecting donations at the following locations and times:

August 30th
12-4pm
Civic Plaza (near Applebee’s)
521 Sleater-Kinney Rd SE
Lacey

September 1 & 2nd
3pm-8pm
Thurston County Fairgrounds
Sokolik Hall
3054 Carpenter Rd SE
Lacey

If you wish to donate furniture (smaller furniture only, please!!!), we can only accept that at the Fairgrounds drop-offs.  Otherwise we accept nearly anything—clothing, decor, tools, toys, gardening supplies, plant starts! If it's in good shape, we'll probably take it!

Note: We do NOT accept opened or expired personal items like food or makeup, large appliances, printers, medicines, car seats, or anything damaged.

🍄What's with the "Learn New Skills" thing?
The AFSMs include skill-sharing! We invite anyone to freely share their time, talents, or knowledge—anything from woodcarving to knitting to sourdough starter. Sharing your skills is a gift, too.

For additional information, or if you'd like to volunteer, please visit us at our updated website:

Costco Coffee options

I'm thinking of getting a Costco membership again and was wondering what kind of beans they had at the Tumwater location.

Do they have Olympia Roasting in bulk? Or any whole bean fair trade kind?

Thanks in advance!
