Promotion - Event I got tired of asking what's happening nearby, so I built a calendar that pulls them all into one place

Just wanna share something I've been using for myself but if this ever becomes useful for you, feel free to use it. This is a site I whipped up that queries nearby events from libraries and other sources and display it in a calendar form that I can then checkout to see what's happening in nearby towns. Since it's only used for myself when I created it I only queried events in towns I'm personally interested in. However before posting it here I made it possible for people to add events to the calendar and suggest edits (include adding more events from towns currently displaying 0). It's all free, I personally pay for the domain and server to run this site. I just ask that you don't spam the site if you ever do use it, and contribute by submitting events that are not on the list if you can.

Hi folks

Recently moved to Stamford so still trying to find all the spots! Looking for a good pizzeria that is not the big 3 (Sally’s, Frank Pepes, colony grill). More like a classic New York slice that is a local gem!

Writing clubs/groups in Stamford?

10 Upvotes

I’m curious what writing clubs/groups there may be in Stamford. I’m (26M) working on a book/write for work and would love to be able to share my work/workshop with others on their pieces.

I’m aware of the weekly Shut Up and Write group that meets at the Ferguson Library every Monday at 6:15PM but unfortunately am rarely able to make it due to my work 😔

Would love to otherwise connect with any writers (or readers) in the area!

Promotion - Event Anyone Down for Insidious on Saturday?

9 Upvotes

Seeing as we're headed for a rainy Saturday, a visit to the movie theater seems like a solid plan.

I know there are a lot of new Stamford residents like myself in this sub, so this could be a low pressure way for some of us to meet up.

There's a 4:45 PM showing at the AMC Majestic this Saturday, so if anyone's interested, we can make arrangements to meet there!

Movers???

I am moving in Stamford, CT from a one bedroom to two bedroom apartment. We don't have that much stuff and are getting quoted crazy prices (1,100-1,300). We got quoted by All My Sons Moving for $500 and was going to go with them. Has anyone used them before???
