SUMMARY:Ottawa Regional Air Guitar Championships
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to rock out for goodness sake! Compete in the 2025 Ottawa Air Guitar Championships to win your way to the Canadian Air Guitar Championships in Toronto\, and potentially compete at the Air Guitar World Championships in Oulu\, Finland\, all while raising money for the Gord Downey & Chanie Wenjack Fund! You can sign up in advance to compete by providing your own 60-second track\, or come up out of the audience as one of our Brave Souls. Air guitar glory could be yours! Too shy for the stage? Not to worry – you’ll be blown away by how fun imaginary instruments can be!  \n\n\n\nThe event is 19+ and unfortunately\, the venue is accessible as Targ is in a basement with a steep staircase with bathrooms too small to accommodate most wheelchairs. Masks are encouraged but not required\, and the event will feature loud noises and possible flashing lights akin to a rock show. \n\n\n\nAGC is a queer and trans-run organization that looks to give back to our communities through the power of music and joy. We actively work to make our events trans- and 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusive and as safe a space as we can. This includes actively looking to ensure that femmes\, non-binary people\, gender-non-conforming people\, and a wide array of weirdos and queerdos feel safe and seen enjoying music they love and connecting with community while we raise money for a great cause.

SUMMARY:Singles Mingle
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday May 4\, 2025 at Laugh Lounge in the Byward Market for the next Singles Mingle! Your hosts Natalia (sex educator & entrepreneur) and Joey (theatre & comedy queen) will guide you through interactive activities that allow you to get to know others in an easy\, comfortable and fun way.  \n\n\n\nHaven’t been to a Singles Mingle before? It’s a special funnel style format – we start playing with the entire group and slowly get into smaller intimate groups as the night progresses. These activities are designed to help you let loose and laugh\, because humour helps to alleviate stress and makes interactions more enjoyable and relaxed. As a bonus\, you will also have the opportunity to win some amazing door prizes (including sex toys from Wicked Wanda’s)!  \n\n\n\nWhen it comes to in-person dating events\, this is the best bang for your buck in our city. We pride ourselves on remaining affordable and ensuring that there are enough registrants to make your participation worth your precious time. We always attract between 60-80 people each time we host the Singles Mingle\, so you are guaranteed many people to meet! This matters because dating is a numbers game – the more people you get to interact with\, the closer you are to finding a real romantic connection.  \n\n\n\nNo matter your culture\, sexual orientation\, gender or kinks\, you are welcome at the Singles Mingle.  \n\n\n\nThe only criteria is that you are between the ages of 25 and 45 and you are currently single (not already in a romantic relationship) and ready to mingle! Feel free to reach out to the organizers with any questions or concerns you have\, it’s our priority to make you feel at ease 🙂  \n\n\n\n*** Doors open at 7:00 pm Mingling activities start at 7:30 pm Mingling activities ends at 9:30 pm Option to stay and continue mingling if you’re enjoying your conversations!
