Description: Fetch and share things from around your house like "Some art you like" or "a book you're reading". A great way to get our energy up and learn a little about one another!

Topic: Battle Decks 🎉

Host: Ilkay Holt

Video conferencing link

Description: Come and have fun! Use your improv skills and present 3-5 minutes speaking over some slides you have never seen, with the goal of telling a coherent story while entertaining the audience and keeping a straight face (here is the original idea). Audience will split into groups. Groups will nominate the contestants and the fun contest will start.


Topic: Karaoke!

Host: Juliet Hardesty

Video conferencing link

Description: OK, here's the deal: It's not perfect but it works for our purposes of fun and entertainment. If you have a song you want to sing, send it to me or look for an available Karaoke version online (the YouTubes don't have everything, but there is a lot). The goal is video or audio that provides a karaoke version with no recorded singing so you can shine! I have a small but growing set list but if you have a song, bring the karaoke version with you! We'll use a Watch2Gether temporary room that I will share on Samvera Slack #connect at event time for those who want to sing. If you have a song you want to sing, check that the karaoke version will play in Watch2Gether and send it to me or bring it with you! Be prepared to be amazed at the talent of your fellow Connecteers! (Wacky headgear is optional but encouraged!)
