What we’re about
Welcome to the ground floor of this new endeavor. My name is Cesar and after the pandemic I realized that I wanted more connection in my life. I took the first step and moved to Boston. I have made some incredible connections so far and I want to create a space that gives me and anyone willing to try to
Meet new people
Play outside your normal box.
Practice self-expression.
Explore Boston and it surroundings
Connect with others.
Get new stories and experiences.
On this meetup my goal is to host events to go to new restaurants, night markets, escape rooms, movie nights, board games, museums, walks through the park. As a newbie in the city I'm always open for suggestions. I'm also looking for motivated people that want to organize events and help me grow this community. I hope to meet you soon.
A FEW RULES TO KEEP US ORGANIZED AND SAFE:
PICTURE POLICY:
We require that you have a photo (for security reasons) that is a current picture of yourself on your Meetup profile that clearly shows your face (without sunglasses), first name (please no one letter or number names). Anyone without a photo and name will not be allowed to attend events.
RSVP POLICY:
PLEASE RSVP with integrity as space is limited & it's not fair to others or the venue to do a last minute cancellation. Last minute cancellations (meaning after the event closes - time which can be seen on the app if set for the event) count as NO SHOWS & it's 3 strikes you're out of the group. Emergencies/illness happen--we get it--and it only takes a few seconds to change your RSVP from ATTENDING to NOT ATTENDING. This is also YOUR responsibility. And it's common courtesy.
WAITLISTS:
You are responsible for managing your own RSVP when on a WAITLIST. IF you stay on a WAITLIST, you could move to the going list at any time. If you assume you will not get on the going list and make other plans, it is YOUR responsibility to update your RSVP to not going to avoid a no show or last minute cancellation. You have potentially taken a spot away from another member who would have loved to join the event.
CODE OF CONDUCT:
First and foremost we will treat each other with respect and how we would wish others to treat us. Rude/offensive/abusive/overly aggressive/highly negative/toxic behaviors and attitudes toward others WILL NOT BE TOLERATED! Any member may be removed from the group at the discretion of the organizer.
DISCLAIMER:
--Hosts/organizers of this group are all unpaid volunteers. All participants who join Random Acts of Connection agree to assume 100% responsibility for their own portion of the bill, safety, conduct, and well-being & solely agree to participate upon their own accord when signing up for events. The organizers of Random Acts of Connection cannot be held responsible or liable in any way for the actions of any participant - including you - at any event. When you RSVP 'Yes', to any Random Acts of Connection event, it shall be conclusively presumed that you understand & agree to this policy.
Thank you for your cooperation!

About the show:
Doors 6:30pm
Show 7:00pmPuppet show! Puppet show! Bread & Puppet Theater is excited to announce their spring tour, traveling from Vermont down the Eastern Seaboard. As always, the show will include puppets large and small, music, up-to-the-minute politics, and spectacles not to be missed. After the show Bread & Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli, and Bread & Puppet’s “Cheap Art” – books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread & Puppet Press – will be for sale.
Of their latest show, The Obligation to Live, director Peter Schumann reminds us that, “The obligation to be alive and act against the actors of death is just one of humanity’s many obligations. We also have the obligation to courage and the obligation to plant garlic in the rubble of the empire. Possibilitarians know this and bring giants, dragons, horses, sheep, butterflies, and the exact dance of death required for this exact moment.”
