BIKE NEWPORT FULL MOON RIDE

Join us for a lovely evening bike ride along a coastal route that will bring us past scenic harbor, bay, and ocean views – lit first by the setting sun, and then by the rising full moon. We’ll ride 15 miles on Newport’s scenic roads and coastline, from downtown Newport to Fort Adams, around the beautiful Ocean Loop, and along the mansions of Bellevue Avenue. We will gather at the start of the route, Equality Park, 30 minutes before the ride begins. These rides have limited capacity, so be sure to pre-register on Eventbrite for our ride-planning purposes. Riders must be at least 18 years of age and have a helmet, front headlight, and rear red blinking light to participate. This is a NIGHT ride, and we will be riding on dark roads. This ride traverses downtown streets, and is suited for riders comfortable riding with traffic. Please bring a water bottle, snack, and bicycle lock. This event could be canceled due to inclement weather, so keep an eye on our social media @BikeNewportRI, or check the event page for any updates. Special thanks go to AARP Rhode Island for again sponsoring Bike Newport's popular Full Moon Rides!

BOLIVAR BEATO

Follow the 600-million-year Pangaea: Myth of Ages epic starting with humanity’s first war for supremacy against the immortal species in the Age of Immortals. Then their bitter growing pains in the Age of Genesis and eventual ascent to the pinnacle of their evolution in the Age of Ages before their epic downfall in the Age of Pangaea. Hundreds of millions of years later, the immortal species “re-emerge” in the Age of Mortals as humanity evolves yet again, ushering in the Age of Galaxies. And finally, humanity’s last battle against destiny itself in the Age of Reckoning.

BOOK SUMMARIES

Pangaea: Myth of Ages; Age of Immortals, Sinners and Saints

It’s a clash of wills as two Rangers from opposing factions within their own organization hunt for a relic whose loss might have worldshattering repercussions; both politically and magically.

Pangaea: Myth of Ages; Age of Genesis, Twinsblade

A lone trader seeks her place in the world and against all odds she dares to find it. Now, she and her "pet", strike an uncomfortable alliance with a band of rebels, their mysterious benefactors, and a powerful ex-Myrmidon warrior.

Pangaea: Myth of Ages; Age of Ages, Trinity

A thief, a fairy, and a ranger walk into a bar...

Three volatile souls clash in an epic story of love, lust, and magic. But will coming together complete their lives or tear them apart? Follow the adventures of three loveable losers who are being driven by a fate they don't understand.

Pangaea: Myth of Ages; Age of Pangaea, Children of the Ages

On a decimated planet, where not only the world and its people but also magic itself is

dying out, seven maladjusted, lawless, teenage misfits could be Pangaea's last hope for survival.

If they can manage not to kill each other...

Pangaea: Myth of Ages; Age of Mortals; I, Ranger

When the unthinkable happens, an elite Ranger with a dark past and darker secrets, and his newly assigned and unwanted partner, must bring justice to the victims. Together they hunt for whoever is responsible for the vile act. Meanwhile, his newly assigned partner's motives as well as the reason for her assignment to him remain a mystery he must solve or suffer mortal consequences.

Pangaea: Myth of Ages; Age of Galaxies, Uncharted

The somewhat dysfunctional crew of the semi-sentient spaceship--the Hairy Usumgallu--find adventure, magic, and mayhem [mostly of their own making] in an unexpectedly desolate universe.

Pangaea: Myth of Ages; Age of Reckoning, Seven Hells

An outlaw on the run. A marshal on her trail. A madman in their way. A town caught inbetween. A secret that threatens to destroy them all.

At age 22, Bolivar I conquered his home planet and was named Suber Prime King Regent of the cosmos. After a scandal revealed his mother had bribed his way into college, he was exiled to Earth. Some would say that was a step sideways, others would say it was a step in the other direction…

THE SWEET CAFE FOR COFFEE & CREPES

On Providence's East Side

Cafe Zoey, a spin-off from the same folks behind Small Point on Westminster in Downtown (which could be considered the 21st century Providence version of Cafe de Flore in Paris circa the 1920’s because of all the local writers and creatives who hang out there) reminds me of a great coffee stop you might stumble upon in Boston, the Wynwood arts neighborhood in Miami, or New York City.

PS AND BTW: I found out that there is indeed a Gotham connection; turns out that the owners brought in an artist friend from the Big Apple to create the whimsical graffiti-esque mural covering the walls.

Signage, however, is by RI’er Jayson Salvi.

If you haven’t walked by 791 Hope Street and been drawn in by their sunny, vintage-y window display (those daisies and that light fixture, in my eyes, are very 1960’s and 70’s…then there’s the enormous antique coffee machine and the iconic Greek disposable cups), then I suggest a glance at the 1st pic below.

Now, let’s talk coffee and food.

First and foremost, I want you to know that I had a super smooth and not-at-all bitter oat milk latte there. In addition to coffee and tea drinks, their other specialty? Sweet AND savory crepes.

The hubs and I ordered a special of the day, liege waffles with strawberries, and not from the crepe menu, but the waffles were fab. (I mean, that’s gotta count for something, amirite?)

Also: The team was welcoming and friendly, especially the person behind the counter who I’m pretty sure is one of the owners.

Do yourself a favor and zip on over this week for a nosh and a hot or cold drink.

And maybe, just maybe if you place your cards right, you’ll get to sit at the Rhode Island Monopoly table by the front window. (One of my nieces interned at Hasbro a while back and absolutely LOVED it, just thought I’d throw that in.)

Find Cafe Zoey at 791 Hope Street (near Frog & Toad).

As always, if you go after reading THIS, please let them know you were inspired by Patty J and PattyJ.com.

STUDIO PLAYGROUND

Tell us about the origin of your organization including the year it was founded and its founder.

Studio Playground was founded in 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic by CoArtistic Directors, Matthew Bretschneider and Stefanie Resick. We met during a training program with a master teacher of clown and physical acting, and we began discussing ways to apply concepts for clowning to working with kids. Since 2020, our programs have expanded to weekly classes in Providence and Pawtucket, after school programs with multiple schools and non-profit organizations in northern Rhode Island, and our annual summer camp in Lincoln Woods State Park. Our work in translating clown to younger audiences focuses on the health benefits of laughter, connection through games and play, and celebrating the joy of performance. In some cases, our work focuses on social-emotional learning in the key areas of social awareness, selfawareness, and relationship skills.

Have you always been in Rhode Island?

Our classes began online, and our inperson programs have always been in Rhode Island. Our classes in Pawtucket are hosted by Kismet Improv in the Hope Artist Village. Our classes in Providence are hosted by Rhode Island School for the Deaf and Big Brothers Big Sisters Rhode Island. Our annual summer camp occurs in Lincoln Woods State Park.

We also have numerous partnerships and after school programs with organizations including Boys and Girls Club of Providence, Providence Public Library, Providence Children's Museum, Pawtucket Public Schools, Gordon School, Lincoln School, Moses Brown School, and Providence Country Day.

Are there any specific stories about how your organization helped a particular person?

Our programs often focus on socialemotional learning and relationship skills. We have received lots of feedback from parents in our community regarding the positive impact of our classes on students' confidence, participation, self-awareness, and social awareness.

Tell us more about the products or services you provide.

Currently we offer classes for ages 5-15 in Providence and Pawtucket. Our classes include Storytelling & Play for ages 5-7, Playground Company for ages 8-10, Studio Playground On Camera for ages 8-12, Play Creation for Ages 8-12, and Musical Theatre for ages 12-15. Classes involve movement, improvisation, games, and performance projects. Each session culminates in a performance for friends and family. Our Summer Camp in Lincoln Woods State Park occurs August 14-25, 2023. Students ages 6-12 enjoy a balance of games, rehearsal, and outdoor activities as they work together to create an original show.

What do you see when looking at the future of your organization and any changes or growth?

Studio Playground became a 501c3 nonprofit organization in December, 2022. One of the goals of our mission statement is to create access to arts education for children in northern Rhode Island. Our current goals include expanding our programs to provide access to more students in the area. We hope to achieve this through fundraising, applying for grants, and continuing to partner with organizations that help further our mission.
