Greg Howard presents The Whispers, in conversation with Allan Wolf
The Whispers is a middle grade debut that’s a heartrending coming-of-age tale, perfect for fans of Bridge to Terabithia and Counting By 7s.
Eleven-year-old Riley believes in the whispers, magical fairies that will grant you wishes if you leave them tributes. Riley has a lot of wishes. He wishes bullies at school would stop picking on him. He wishes Dylan, his 8th grade crush, liked him, and Riley wishes he would stop wetting the bed. But most of all, Riley wishes for his mom to come back home. She disappeared a few months ago, and Riley is determined to crack the case. He even meets with a detective, Frank, to go over his witness statement time and time again. Frustrated with the lack of progress in the investigation, Riley decides to take matters into his own hands. So he goes on a camping trip with his friend Gary to find the whispers and ask them to bring his mom back home. But Riley doesn’t realize the trip will shake the foundation of everything that he believes in forever.

6:30-7:30 Beginner Bellydance Combos:
Feel good moving your hips and trying out a new skill. Learn to string together simple bellydance moves into combinations and use them at different speeds, with different songs, and drill them until they feel comfortable and good.

Use the combos from beginner class to challenge yourself and add one of the most head scratching (but rewarding) props that bellydance has to offer. Come to both classes to get a handle on the combo before you add zills- or drop in to just the intermediate class for an extra challenge.

Bowled Over: How to Create Visual Interest on Simple Forms
Laurie Caffery Harris
Wednesdays 6:30-9pm
January 9- February 27
Bowls are often overlooked by potters because they are such a simple form, but they have so much potential! In this intermediate level class, we will explore bowls of all sizes and shapes on the potter’s wheel to create forms that reflect your unique style. We will also discuss and practice surface design through mishima (slip inlay), painting, and sgraffito carving. By the end of the session we will have made pieces that are not only visually interesting, but accurately represent your personal style and sensibilities.
Level: Intermediate and Advanced
Tuition: $310 + $50 Lab Fee
Open to all skill levels. Dart Night is an open invitation double elimination blind draw dart tournament. With a great line up of craft beers and wine along with Mama Bear’s Food Truck (seasonal). check-in starts at 6, tournament starts at 6:30!

Ok, a little bit of a switch up today. Because Tate had brewing obligations that has him occupied, he is passing the mic to none other than Bearwaters’s own Kevin Sandefur. So expect a whole other level of shenanigans. We apologize for the confusion and look forward to seeing everyone tonight (Wednesday).

¡Triskatrivia!
2019’s Themes: (updated as they are determined)
Jan 9th – Post-Apocalyptic Movies/TV
Jan 16th – America at War
Jan 23rd – Fantasy Fiction
Jan 30th – Horror Movies
¡TriskaTrivia! is Triskelion’s Themed Movie Night!
Starts at 7pm, and usually lasts at least an hour and a half.
Glorious Prizes:
First Place Team: $25 Gift Card
Second Place Team: $15 Gift Card
Each member of the team that wins the Very Hard Questions Round (almost always Round 3), will win a free beer.
If at least 6 people dress up in costumes that relate to the night’s theme, then the best dressed (determined by me) wins a free beer!
(that means if your entire team of 6 are the only ones dressed up, then a member of your team is destined to get a free beer)
There are six rounds, with 10 questions each, and each round will be on a different subject that relates to the night’s theme… Each question is worth 5 points.
Teams can consist of up to six players, or you can play by yourself if you have no friends.
Cheating is not allowed… no phones, no “yelling out of answers” (even wrong ones), and no handy reference materials… This is not an open book trivia night.
Children are allowed, but consider each theme and use your own judgement. There may be adult content.
Come on out and show off your Brainz!!!
(or lack thereof)

Set sail for laughter as Bertie Wooster revels in life aboard the Vanderley yacht. Bertie is the pampered guest of the lively Lady Stella (very fetching profile), accompanied, as always, by his peerless valet, Jeeves. If only Bertie’s pal Crumpet hadn’t assaulted a prince. In the blink of an eye, Bertie is masquerading as a romance novelist, Crumpet’s posing as his own long-lost twin, and a sinister foreign count is challenging Bertie to a duel. Will this madcap case of mistaken identities end in Bertie’s doom–or worse, his marriage? Have no fear; Jeeves will sort it all out.
