tall bxtch energy: a pop-up for the vertically gifted

think good drinks, great company, and a room full of people who get it. come solo, leave with a crew that can actually see you in a crowd.

last call lectures: medical mysteries: true stories from the neurology ward
The Scout Waterhouse + Kitchen
1419 N Wells St, Chicago, IL 60610, USA
last call lectures presents: medical mysteries: true stories from the neurology ward the brain is the strangest organ we have, and when it breaks, it breaks in ways that sound made up. patients who can't recognize faces. people convinced a limb isn't theirs. memories that rewrite themselves in real time. this month, ignacio keller sarmiento pulls back the curtain on the neurology ward and the real cases that left even the doctors stunned. ignacio works at the intersection of medicine and the deeply human stories behind each diagnosis. expect true cases, the detective work of figuring out what's actually happening inside someone's head, and what these mysteries reveal about how all of our brains work. expect a 45 minute talk, then small group discussion, then open q&a. come solo, leave with new people and a new appreciation for the three pounds of tissue running your whole life.

Classes are advanced-beginner to low-intermediate friendly. (If you're brand-new, our regular socials are beginner-friendly!) WHY THIS WORKSHOP IS WORTH IT • You actually improve. Most classes teach random patterns each week. This workshop is intentionally structured so you build rhythm, timing, connection, and usable partnerwork. • You won’t feel lost. We keep the level consistent and the pacing supportive. Everyone’s here to learn — not judge. • You build a dance crew. Three classes + a social = a built-in community. People make real friends in these workshops. • You get real-world practice. The included salsa before susnet social gives you a perfect chance to try your skills in a welcoming, lively environment. • It’s an insane value. Three classes + one social + multiple instructors + structured progression… This would normally run $150–$250 elsewhere. We keep it accessible so Chicago can dance. WHO THIS IS FOR • People who want to level up their salsa • Anyone who can keep a beat and wants structure + real progress • Dancers who want confidence for salsa on a School Night WHO THIS IS NOT FOR • Someone looking for a one-time “try it once” class — this is a progressive workshop
