Costume Parties Berlin

From Berlin Ladies Art Club

In Germany, November 11 is St. Martin's Day, traditionally celebrated with lantern parades. These days, lantern walks are mostly organized for children – but why should they have all the fun? Grab your lantern and join the Social Butterflies for a magical autumn evening! We'll meet at **Uferstudios** near U Pankstraße for a short, leisurely 20–30-minute lantern walk along the Panke river. Afterwards, we'll head to **Jatz Bar**, where the evening continues with our regular **Wednesday Social / Julia's Salon** – drinks, conversations and good company! 🏮 **BRING YOUR OWN LANTERN!** Make one, buy one, find one, bring one. Smartphone flashlights don't count! 🧥 Dress warmly and please arrive on time so we can start our parade together. ✨ Let's brighten up a dark November evening! **Can't join the walk?** You're welcome to meet us afterwards at Jatz Bar for our regular Wednesday Social.

Sat, Nov 7, 7:00 AM

From Events, Live Music Gigs and Art Exhibitions in Berlin

Join Berlin Ladies Art & Culture Club for a full day of art, conversation, and discovery in Leipzig. We'll spend the day at the Leipziger Baumwollspinnerei, with private gallery introductions, a visit to an artist's studio, and a visit to the Museum der bildenden Künste. Throughout the day, I'll share art-historical context and stories connecting the places we visit, from Leipzig's contemporary art scene to the artists who shaped its history. 📋 The programme 🎨 *Welcome & introduction* We'll begin with introductions and an overview of Leipzig's art scene, setting the context for our day together. 🖼 Gallery visits at the Leipziger Baumwollspinnerei Explore a former cotton mill transformed into a centre for contemporary art. Our curated gallery walk will introduce different artistic voices and the story of the Leipzig School and New Leipzig School. 🖼️ EIGEN \+ ART Leipzig – TITUS SCHADE: SICHT \| FELD Born in Leipzig and trained in Neo Rauch's master class, Titus Schade paints places that look like stage sets and architectural models at once — windmills, towers, rocks and houses lit like a baroque stage. Not reality, but a self-contained world built from its movable pieces. The gallery will introduce the brand-new show to our group. 🖼️ Galerie Laetitia Gorsy – FRANZISKA REINBOTHE & LAURA SACHS: Desire Founded in 2018 by French gallerist Lætitia Gorsy as She BAM!, this is a gallery showing only women artists. Lætitia will introduce Desire, a dialogue between Franziska Reinbothe and Laura Sachs, herself — in English. 🖼️ ASPN – FRANZISKA KOCH: thick of things Before she studied painting at Leipzig's Academy of Visual Arts, Franziska Koch trained as a clinical psychologist. Now based in Leipzig, she works in oil on canvas — come and see what a painter with a therapist's eye brings to the canvas. 👩‍🎨 Studio visit – NORA MONA BACH Winner of the 2024 Art Prize of Saxony-Anhalt, Nora Mona Bach creates large-scale landscapes from loose charcoal dust — some over two metres tall — that shift between the familiar and the unknown. She'll welcome us into her Spinnerei studio, where she also works with pastel and glass. 🍽 Lunch & conversation A break to sit down together, exchange impressions, and enjoy the company of fellow art lovers. 🏛 Museum der bildenden Künste We'll explore selected highlights of the museum's collection together, with art-historical context connecting the museum to the morning's discoveries. 🚶 A little of Leipzig Time permitting, a short walk through the historic centre before returning to Berlin. 📅 Date: Saturday, 7 November 2026 🕐 Duration: Full-day trip, with morning departure and evening return 📍Meeting point:Berlin Hauptbahnhof 💶 Participation fee: €70 per person 📌 RSVP is free and non-binding.

PostgreSQL November Meetup

Wed, Nov 4, 5:00 PM

We will be hosting our November Meetup. Thanks to Amazon for sponsoring us. Please note that you have to show sign up with your real name and show a Photo ID to the building security before entering the building. Every visitor will have their photo taken that will be printed on their paper visitor badge. This is a requirement from the building security. If you are not ok with that, please do not sign up. You can not bring a +1, everyone needs to sign up. Please only sign up if you plan to come, we will keep notes. Speakers: **Daria Nikolaenko: PostgreSQL 19: Features, Internals, and Surprises** Although each release of PostgreSQL includes a long list of changes, there’s often more to a new version than the headline features suggest. In this talk we'll examine PostgreSQL 19: what is new, what has changed behind the scenes, and what you should be aware of when upgrading. We'll look in detail at how things work, try to find some less obvious changes, and consider what they mean in practice. **Mehmet Ince: Nobody Gets to Be Superuser (Until I Broke In)** Managed PostgreSQL services give each customer an apparently isolated database instance, and work hard to guarantee one thing: the customer never becomes a superuser on it. This talk examines why that boundary matters and how similarly it fails across the industry. In this talk, I will discuss months of research and how I found ways to escalate privileges to superuser on nearly every managed Postgres provider. The bug differs each time, which could be a logical vulnerability in the privilege-relaxation extension, or cloud-native underlying software mistakes affecting vendors, memory corruption bugs on extensions that everybody installs and so on. What stays the same is the set of root causes behind them. Whether you are a DBA, developer building on a managed provider, or are simply curious to see from a hacker's perspective, you are welcome at this session. You will leave this talk with a knowledge of recurring root causes, a clear threat model, and a practical hardening checklist.
