Don't set up dates too quickly It's normal to chat and have some back and forth before deciding if a date is in the cards. If the person wants to meet you immediately that is a RED FLAG. 2. Meet up in a public place the first time It's a wise decision to choose a busy public location for your first date. Meet at a pub, coffee shop, restaurant, and/or busy park. This allows a secure setting for both of you. 3. Always arrange your own transportation for the initial date Always meet your date in a public place. Never, ever let them pick you up or drop you off on your first few dates. Even if they offer to pick you up or drop you off, say "no thanks" until you trust them! Remember the old saying stranger DANGER. 4. Tell someone you trust that you have a date Never go on a date/meet-up without telling someone. This should always be your no. 1 safety rule when meeting people for the first time. Let a friend or family member know that they should expect to hear from you at a certain time. You can also let them know where you're going on the date. It’s also a smart idea to have a ‘safe word’ or ‘safe phrase’, to use, just in case you need to make a quick exit. 5. Think before exchanging numbers Do not forget that you are under no need to share phone numbers if you feel uncomfortable. It’s OK to schedule dates and converse only through a safe app until you feel ready to give out your phone number. Always take your time when to disclose contact information since your privacy is crucial. 6. ALWAYS Trust your instincts If you sense any discomfort or uneasy vibes while conversing, planning a date in person, don't hesitate to leave immediately and exit the situation. Your well-being always comes first, and it's perfectly fine to step away if something doesn't feel right. Let your friend or family member know. Information Source: Crazy4Events | eventbrite

Lemon Bucket Orkestra. 15 years. A party. A tour. THE PARTY TOUR. We've been screaming folked-up ballads through busted megaphones for 15 years now (!)... you've seen us in parks and street corners, festivals and dive bars, performing arts centers and raves... And y'all know we don't shy away from celebration, so we're bringing the LBO experience to Hamilton Ontario at the legendary Corktown Pub, one of Hamilton's most epic venues. Hamilton, you’ve seen us rock weddings, outdoor fests, and park parties over the years, but this time we’re kicking off our own party tour through your city. It's gonna be a vibe y'all. We're gonna sing arm in arm in languages we don't speak. We're gonna punch the sky till the gray clouds cower (the lemon bucket work out). We're gonna kolo till we spiral out of control. We're gonna move it, move it till we get some satisfaction... We're gonna send you out into the streets to scream peace, peace, peace... Dot dot dot...
