PIRATE NIGHT w/ THE SHANK PAINTERS

Every fourth Friday we welcome the Shank Painters to our tasting room to fill our hearts with nautical folk tunes and sea shanties! This extremely talented quartet really know how to put on a show and always arrive with props, costumes, and a great sense of humor. There’s a reason why they have a monthly residency at Hi-Fidelity—you should come find out for yourself!

Symposium

Every Sunday afternoon is a public symposium at Hi-Fidelity. Very casual open ended inquiries into whatever you’d like! We’ll nominate topics, vote on what to chat about, and then have a lightly moderated conversation (it’s not a debate club, I try to make sure everyone has a chance to speak). There are no limits to potential topics for nomination! Metaphysics, ethics, music, unsolved mysterious, or supernatural encounters! Whatever strikes your fancy!

On Sundays prior to a Portland City council meeting Symposium takes a slight shift into current affairs and becomes a Public Forum. I’ll have a copy of the council’s agenda available at the bar. The focus will be on Portland but bring any topic from the Maine political scene. In contrast to the Symposium, the Forum is more fact oriented. While not required, I strongly encourage brining verifiable information about any topic you’d like to nominate for discussion

Small Books and Tall Pours

Join us at the Hi-Fidelity book club, Small Books and Tall Pours every third Saturday at 2:00! This Month we’re reading All Systems Red by Martha Wells!

In a corporate-dominated space-faring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. For their own safety, exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids. But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern.

On a distant planet, a team of scientists is conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid--a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.” Scornful of humans, Murderbot wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is, but when a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and Murderbot to get to the truth.

INTERACTIVE: Groove space with space fog

Join us every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month 1pm-4pm at hi-fidelity (200 Anderson Street, Bay 6 Portland, Maine) Get to know your fellow musicians as we have a casual afternoon jam catered to all levels of experience. We will groove on simple digestible forms ranging anywhere from 1 chord to a 4 chord loop. Are we on the verse or the chorus? It doesn’t matter because each jam has a simple, repetitive, and predictable progression (we’re not even going to take it to the bridge). Respect your musical neighbors and leave space for the group to listen to each other and create something unique in the moment.

TTRPG at Hi-Fidelity

First and Third Sundays of the month an intrepid group of adventures gathers at Hi-Fidelity in search of glory, treasure, and justice (terms and conditions apply)!

Join us for a night of rolling dice and slaying monsters! Players of all experience levels are welcome and we have dice and character sheets to spare.

Currently the party is all level one as we begin the descent into the mysterious Sunless Citadel, home to a tribe of goblins, infested with giant rats, and Pelor knows what else!

Last time our heroes met up in the town of Oakdale and were hired to seek a group of missing explorers. While in town they overheard rumors of a strange and miraculous fruit the goblins of the citadel sell to the village once a year. Now, as the sun rises over their camp, our heroes prepare for the descent into the dark chasm where the ruined towers of the citadel pierce through the morning fog out of the darkness below.

Small Books and Tall Pours

Join us at the Hi-Fidelity book club, Small Books and Tall Pours every third Saturday at 2:00! This Month we’re reading Open City by Teju Cole!

In a Carmelite monastery on the outskirts of Los Angeles, life has continued virtually unchanged for centuries. Here, Sister John of the Cross lives in the service of God. She is the only nun who experiences visions and is regarded by the others as a spiritual master. But Sister John is also plagued by powerful headaches and when a doctor reveals that they may be dangerous, she faces a devastating choice. Is this grace merely an illness and will a ‘cure' mean the end of her illuminations and a soul dry and searching?
