#Auditorium at 3 pm

[sweetiecutie]

Ok ok listen-

teacher!valeria x student!reader🫶🫶

(I imagen her and us having "study sessions" she calls us in her classroom to talk about our grades or she calls us in her classroom so she can "help" us with something that we didnt understand 😻😻and could reader be a fem?. if u dont want to do this is ok!!🫶❤️)

Pairing: Valeria Garza x fem! Reader

Warnings: NSFW, smut, university AU!, professor/student trope, age gap implied

A/n: this is literally so sexy, I’m about to cream my fucking pants😩

Okay, so this is a university au, in which Valeria is one of the professors. I have a feeling that she would be teaching something hard and complicated - let’s say math.

Professor Garza is very strict. She’s one of the people who value discipline and order over anything else, punishing everyone who dares disturbing it. Valeria wouldn’t think twice before giving out detentions and extra work for behavior she deems unacceptable within auditorium. Chatting during her lectures? - detention. Forgetting to do homework she gave? - detention and double the amount of exercises you had to be handed over to her due to 3 pm the next day.

Many students fear Miss Garza, many hate her, many like her; but every single one has some sort of respect for her cold and stoic demeanor. Valeria is strict and demanding , but she’s also one of the bestest - many students wish to be teached by her.

And even if it seems nearly impossible, Valeria does have favorites. Very few - 3-4 students in whole university, but boy are they privileged.

Valeria values conformity over anything else. She prefers students that are polite and well-behaved, never causing any commotion or fuss. And you happened to be just that - miss goody two shoes, one of the bestest in your year, never once failing ho hand in whatever assignment Valeria gave you, no matter how complicated or cumbersome the work was.

Garza quickly caught onto your skills, and by the end of first year she already valued you over the rest of your group. Not only the brilliance of your mind, which was capable of so many amazing thing, drew her in; you’re quite a sight for sore eye as well - clothes always neat and ironed, hair framing your pretty face perfectly no matter what, light makeup only highlighting your natural beauty. Valeria couldn’t help her eyes lingering on your soft thighs whenever you decided on wearing a skirt or a dress to uni, flooding her head with images of these exact thighs spread wide before her.

It was quite a challenge for Valeria to find any mistakes in your works. You were a smart little girl, she had no doubts about it at that point. But every time, with extreme effort, professor Garza managed to find all the little flaws in your works. They did seem ridiculous tho, something other math professors wouldn’t even deem as a mistake. So first time this happened you came up to the older woman, asking about your strangely low grade; and Valeria, voice softer with feigned sympathy, patiently explained why she had to grade you so lowly. “I hope you do better next time, hm?” She’d say with a small smile, dismissing you from her classroom. Oh how the sight of your pouting lips and teary eyes got her off

As semester drew nearer to its end your works didn’t seem to improve even a slightest bit. At this point you were convinced that it was something personal - that professor Garza simply disliked you (oh if only you knew). So it was a surprise when Valeria called out for you to stay behind as everyone was leaving after the end of her lecture. You obediently descended the stairs of high auditorium, coming to her desk, standing there patiently as all the students left.

Once alone in the room, Valeria turned to face you, one hip leaning onto the edge of her working desk. Her dark eyes gazed at you from above thin lenses of her reading glasses, arms crossed over her chest making her tits perk up teasingly from within two unmade buttons of her white blouse.

“Y/n, I wanted to talk to you about your grades” she said, her voice sounding a bit softer than usual - voice she used on you only. Your body tensed slightly at her words, your fingers gripping your books more tightly as you looked at her tentatively.

“I made a small research on your academic performance and it seems that you only struggle with my subject. Is there any particular reason to this?” She asked, concern lacing her words.

You bit your tongue, fighting back bitter words of indignation - it was Valeria’s fault only that your grades in math were so low. But you kept silent, gazing dully onto the floor under your feet. Professor Garza heaved a heavy sigh, her heart thrumming loudly within her chest at what she was about to do.

“Y/n, you’re a very smart girl, and I don’t want you to ruin your record because of arithmetics. I can give you some extra credit” she said calmly, your ears perking up at her words.

You looked up at the older woman, obviously surprised - Valeria never gave extra credit, no matter the circumstances. You blinked rapidly a few times - you won’t lose such an opportunity, you’d be a fool if you did.

“Sure, I’d be very grateful!” You said quickly, looking at Valeria with wide eager eyes.

She only smiled at your words, nodding for you to come closer. As you did, she took your books and notes out of your hands, placing them on the faraway side of her desk. “You won’t need these”

As you were going to ask what she meant her warm hand clasped around the back of your neck, slamming you against her desk. With a small squeak you were bent over the table, your cheek squished against some papers scattered on top of it. You felt Valeria’s hot chest pressing against your back, her free hand glided up and down the side of your hip as she whispered into your ear “Now I need you to be a good little girl and spread your legs wider”

And you did. Arousal pooled in the pit of your stomach, making your knees go weak as Valeria’s hand slipped in between your soft thighs - just like she always dreamed of, massaging your soft pussy through thin material of your panties.

Soon enough these same panties were shoved into your mouth to muffle all desperate cries tearing through your chest as to not disturb other professors in nearby auditoriums; three of Valeria’s long fingers fucked in and out of your drooling pussy with loud squelching sounds, her fingertips grazing that one spot deep within you, making your eyes roll and toes curl.

You exited professor Garza’s auditorium on trembling legs, your makeup and hair unnaturally messy, eyes unfocused and bleary but - most importantly - with impeccable record on arithmetics.

But to keep your math performance this way, you had to visit professor Garza some more for extracurricular activities <3

OUR BABY'S BALLET

Joseph Quinn X fem!reader

Summary: /n and Joseph watch their daughter's first ballet performance.

Words: 1.3K+

Warnings: I really don't remember. But Joe and Y/n's daughter, children's ballet is very cute.

Author: English is not my first language, I apologize for any errors that may be in the story. Enjoy !!

MASTERLIST

Joseph and Y/n did everything they could to ensure that the day's work was delivered and completed before 5:00 pm.

It was their daughter's first ballet performance. Sophie Quinn Y/n/s. And it was more than obvious that they couldn't lose.

"Do you think we're late?" Y/n asks her husband while finishing her makeup in the car, while Joseph drove to the school where Sophie studied.

"I hope not" he says a little nervously.

Joe would blame himself so much if they missed this performance. They were supposed to be there about 20 minutes ago, however, the paperwork for the next film that Joseph was going to do arrived at home and he would have to sign everything today, so that the manager could send it tomorrow morning.

The traffic wasn't making it any easier either, it seemed like the entire city of Los Angeles was heading to Sophie's school's ballet performance. And after many, many minutes in the car, the couple arrives at the school's auditorium.

"Shit, shit, shit" Y/n said as he ran with Joseph through the empty corridors of the theater, until he reached the hall where the performances would be showing.

When they got there, they noticed that the stage was still empty and that not all the seats in the place had been taken. Y/n and Joseph sigh in relief and walk over to two empty chairs that were near Sophie's best friend's parents and their friends.

"Hi, hi" Y/n says as he approaches them and sits on the chair, breathing a sigh of relief. "Sophie and Callie haven't introduced themselves yet, right?" Y/n asks about her daughter's introduction and Sophie's little friend.

"Hi, not yet" Thaisa, Y/n's friend and Callie's mother, says, while smiling to see Y/n relieved. "Josh and I were worried about whether you guys would make it or not."

Meanwhile, Joseph talked to his friend before his daughters' presentation.

"Joe had some unforeseen events before coming here and we thought he wouldn't have time." The woman nods. "Sophie would be devastated if she didn't see us here. She spent more than a month talking about this performance" Y/n smiles remembering the conversations she had with her 3-year-old daughter about ballet.

After another 10 minutes, the presentations begin. Joe and Y/n watched about 3 performances before arriving at Sophie's.

When Sophie enters the stage, wearing a tutu, pink socks and her hair tied up in a bun, the couple's eyes filled with tears. Pride and happiness for the little girl they both had.

"Look, love. Our baby is growing up" Y/n says, as she holds Joseph's hand and looks at her daughter with pride.

Little Sophie did everything correctly as she did in rehearsals. And modesty aside from Y/n and Joseph, they would say that she was the best who performed.

After the performance came to an end, everyone gathered on stage to thank the guests. And apparently, Sophie hadn't seen Y/n or Joseph in the audience, which made the girl get nervous and start playing with her fingers, while her eyes roamed the seats in front of her.

"I don't think Sophie has seen you yet" Thaisa comments and Y/n smiles.

"Poor thing, she's nervous. Joey shouts at her" Y/n says a little distressed, as she sees her daughter getting more and more nervous about not seeing her parents.

When Joe was about to call his daughter, Callie, Sophie's friend sees Y/n and Joe and warns the little one.

When little Quinn's eyes dart to her mommy and daddy, she smiles happily and waves happily to her parents.

Sn almost stands up so she can wave her hand goodbye to her daughter. She was immensely proud of her little girl.

And with that, Sophie smiles and puts her hands over her eyes. She was so happy to see her parents there at her first performance, they couldn't hold back the tears.

"Oh my God. She cried with happiness at seeing you" Thaisa comments to Y/n and the actress smiles with tears in her eyes too.

After everything was over, the teachers helped the students meet their parents in the front hall.

"My sweet little girl" Joe says as he bends down and Sophie runs into her father's arms.

Y/n bends down too and wraps them both in a group hug.

"We're so proud of you, my sweetie" Y/n says as she pulls out of the hug.

"You came!!" Sophie comments happily while jumping.

Y/n and Joe look at each other and smile.

"Of course my dear, we couldn't miss your show" Joseph comments as he held the girl's hand and the three left the theater. "We'll be at all your performances."

"What do you think about having ice cream now??" Y/n asks as he puts Sophie's backpack on his back.

"YES!!" She raises her hand that wasn't occupied and jumps in joy.

Y/n and Joseph laugh at their daughter's condition.

They couldn't love someone like they love their little Quinn.

Chapter 3 - Tryouts

You sit in the auditorium next to Kazuha, yunjin on the other side of her, listening to the dance team leader tell you the rules of the tryouts but she’s interrupted by the door being thrown open, hitting the wall. And there she is. The one you hoped to avoid. Karina. She’s out of breath, running here as she left her dorm late.

“I’m so sorry I’m late.” Is all she says, her eyes find yours and you think you see her stop breathing for a few seconds.

“It’s fine. take a seat.”

Karina quickly find winter in the crowd sitting next to her in the open seat, giving you another glance before deciding to stare at the ground. While the choreographer is talking and showing you the try out choreography, Karina keeps turning to look at you, her eyes burn into you no matter how short the stares are.

Yunjin reaches over Zuha to hit you lightly which causes her girlfriend push her away, Yunjin looking offended. Then the dance instructor tells you all to join her on stage. Now that you’re on stage you can see the faces of the people around you, Karina and her friends who practically have to force themselves not to look at you, Yeonjun sees you finally and stands by you guys seeming to relax by familiar faces. Then there’s Ryujin and yeji who are hanging off of each other practically, Ryujin is running laps in her mind deciding if she’s going to be standing with you or Karina today, she’s never hated being both of your friends until now. And then you meet eyes with her, your ex, Somin your relationship ended on a pretty good note as far as break ups go, you both had decided your relationship had ran its course. You had kept in touch over the years and had been friendly. Next to her is Matt, her boyfriend, you were friends with him and had danced on teams with him before. You began relaxing at the wave of friendly faces until you scan back over everyone and meet eyes with Karina, but neither of you make an effort to look away. There was a distant longing in both of your eyes and your feet started to move just barely, subconsciously wanting to make your way to her but you’re stopped by the instructor clapping her hands.

“Alright, let’s stretch for five minutes and then we’ll go through the choreo.”

You turn to Kazuha who’s right next to you

“I can’t do this.” You whisper, panicking more than expected after Karina being in front of you for the first time in years.

“Yes you can. Ignore her.” Zuha holds on to your shoulders, “don’t let her hold you back, remember?”

You just nod weakly as you start stretching, you toss a look into the audience at Yunjin who’s already looking and probably has been the entire time, she puts a thumbs up with a questioning face, you just nod and turn back around to continue stretching.

After the five minutes is up the instructor goes through the choreography this time slower so we can follow along, then giving up 15 minutes to practice before we all went up one by one in front of everyone and went through the audition. It was alphabetical so after a few others it was your turn, going up to the stage shaking off the excess nerves and trying not to look at Karina as you do. When the music starts your body takes over for you and you dance as if it was programmed into your body, though it was only learned twenty minutes ago. After you finish the rest of the auditorium look shocked but impressed by your skill, you make eye contact with Karina for once who is staring at you with her mouth open. Some would say she looked needy. But you couldn’t think about that right now.

More people audition after you and last was Karina, she was more timid now than you remember her being. But once she started dancing the shyness went away, you had to be honest even if you hated the girl you still thought she was a good dancer, and god did she look so hot doing it.

“Okay, great job everyone. The team list will be posted on the official twitter account tomorrow morning. First official rehearsal is Monday at 4 pm. Thank you everyone.”

With that everyone starts to get up and leave the auditorium, while you’re talking to yunjin by the doors Karina walks up to you.

“Hey, can we-.”

“Ew, isn’t that the girl that kissed you in high school?” Hyunjin suddenly appears behind Karina, Yeji and Ryujin right next to him. His sister Yeji looks at him in anger and hits him hard in the chest. Karina gives him a look that you’re sure could’ve killed him. All of your friends around you come to your defense, Yunjin pulling you back to step in front of you while Kazuha puts a protective but comforting arm around you. Yeonjun joins Yunjin at the front mostly focusing on Hyunjin while your best friend stares down Karina, who is definitely looking very scared. Even Somin and Matt pass and share dirty looks at the group.

“What the fuck is wrong with you?” Yunjin says, it’s meant for hyunjin but she’s looking Karina dead in her eyes when she says it.

“Relax, it was just a question.” Hyunjin defends, putting his hands up. Yeji is quick to hit him again, which shuts the tall dancer up.

“Why don’t we just go back to pretending we don’t know each other?” You finally speak up, you direct it at Karina but make eye contact with them all to make sure they know it extends to them. With that you walk out of the auditorium, it takes Ryujin and Yeji to pull Yeonjun and Yunjin away from the group, Yeonjun promising his boyfriend to keep an eye on you and Yunjin being a protective best friend.

HII HRU :33 I saw your little Quackity oneshot and LOVED how you narrated it, I wanted to ask if you could write one about a male!s/o (or fem, if you want) x Quackity, male!s/o It's a singer and sings "Once more to see you - Mitski", dedicating indirectly it to Quackity who is watching him among the people with VIP tickets and his fans notice :'3, thx very much!!

🍒: Hii! I'm fine, what about u? Your request has been very cute!

Lights off ~ Quackity

pt.2 here

Story g: sfw/soft

Language: English/Inglés

⚠️: None (?)

CC's: Quackity

Reader g: Male reader

📝: All the content is fictitious and an attempt is made to adapt the PUBLIC personality of the cc's, that is, the personality that is shown in front of cameras, I do not know the true personality and any resemblance to reality is mere coincidence.

🍒: Hello, writing requests are always open, if you want something in particular, ask without fear. I clarify that English is not my main language, I apologize for any error and accept corrections to improve the quality of the content

Master List

The VIP ticket had arrived at Quackity's email, his cell phone vibrated showing the email notification and he immediately opened it, it had taken a while to arrive by the way.

A few weeks ago you had released dates for a tour of the country through Twitter, being part of a small band but with loyal fans, the tickets were sold out.

"The tickets sold out very quickly, I did not get a ticket for your presentation in Los Angeles"

"I'll send you a ticket, leave it to me, I got you"

Quackity and you had been friends for a short time, almost less than two years maybe, you were introduced by Glaive, he being a mutual friend.

The concert in Los Angeles was the last of the tour, appearing in a small auditorium. The team arrived early to prepare the stage, connect cables here and there, countless sound checks and check that everything was in order. Your phone vibrated with a message, it was Quackity

"I will arrive a little bit late"

"A guard will be waiting for you outside'"

The show hadn't started yet and this guy was running late, typical of him, and it wasn't a bother, you knew he was a busy man and you were so grateful that he canceled some plans to come see you sing.

At 8 pm, the auditorium opened its doors giving way to the fans, half an hour later, the concert began. Playing some recent songs and some old ones, interacting with the public.

You felt nervous, but not exactly because of the show, the audience or the fact of making a mistake when singing and playing the guitar at the same time, you had already gone through all this in several cities, it was something normal for you. What made you uncomfortable was that the person who made your stomach tickle was not yet in the VIP area.

As your songs were being played, the nerves to see him again and the fear that he had something else to do combined, you didn't even know which of the two situations made you more nervous.

You had exchanged messages with Quackity many times, he always sent the first message, complimenting your music every time you updated Spotify with a new song, you even got to see him talk about your songs on some of his streams, recommending you.

At no time did you realize that you were feeling those typical butterflies in your stomach every time you saw a message from him, not constant, but the blood rose to your head when you looked at his notifications.

You never really realized it, until one day you caught yourself thinking about Quackity while writing a new song.

You stopped the show to drink some water and clear your throat when the audience started to scream again, you could see the security guard coming down the hall and behind him, a head with a black hat. Your heart started pounding and your stomach warmed.

"Guys, Quackity is here"

You spoke into the microphone, trying to hide your nerves and let him know that you were happy to see him arrive, he reached his place in the VIP area and from there he greeted you with his big smile and a wave of his hand.

You felt your cheeks burn, and the immense need to smile without control, but you had to continue with the concert. A couple more songs, cheering the crowd up with a few jokes, nearing the end of the show, the last song that would be played was the song you caught yourself thinking about Quackity on. A cover more than anything, and that you decided to add only for the presentation of Los Angeles

"For this song I need the lights off"

"Once more to see you" by Mitski had crossed your mind so many times when you knew that Quackity would be present, you had a long time without seeing him face to face.

"But with everyone watching us, our every move

We do have reputations

We keep it secret

Won't let them have it"

Present in front of so many people, feeling like you were naked in front of everyone cause of what you were doing, singing to him like there was something between you.

Did you even know what his current sexuality was, did Quackity like men? Would you have a chance? Wasn't this very selfish of you? Thinking only of your feelings, not knowing what Quackity thinks of you. Would Quackity be able to tarnish his reputation?

"Then I wouldn't have to scream your name

Atop of every roof in the city of my heart

If I could see you

Once more to see you"

Looking in his direction, Quackity was just looking at you, not moving from his place, attentive to you, as if he could sense that this is directed at him.

Quackity was only thinking about how beautiful you sang, admiring the tone of your voice, paying attention to the lyrics of the song and deciphering the reason why you only presented this cover today.

You finished the show, the audience was starting to leave, and you walked up to Quackity to say hello, hugging each other for the long time they hadn't seen each other.

"The concert was very nice"

Over the next few days, fan-taken videos circulated all over Twitter, especially the one of your performance of "Once more to see you."

'he sang it for Quackity' 'he was looking at Quackity while he sang' 'y/n is in love with Quackity' 'Quackity didn't take his nap to go see y/n'

Thousands of similar comments circulated along with the videos, initially scaring you for being so obvious and making someone uncomfortable with your impulses, but then you just thought Quackity would take this as a fan joke. You didn't talk about it, you just left it as a joke and that was it.

At night you got a text, it was Quackity again;

"I just want to know if everything that is circulating on the internet is true..."

[3:52 PM] - The afternoon was sound, the weather tranquil. Such sunny days had been far and few. Most of the music students in College Student!Hongjoong's year were outside, soaking in the sun. On the contrary, College Student!Hongjoong sat idly indoors behind a glass wall that separated the classroom from the recording centre.  

“Next,” College Student!Hongjoong crossed his arms, turning away another student. He was unswayed by the tune they played, their fingerwork particularly sloppy.

“Thanks for your efforts,” Mr Jung, who taught music theory, tried to make up for College Student!Hongjoong's dismissive attitude towards the applicants.

College Student!Hongjoong was in need of a pianist to perform alongside him on his newest project. The head of the music department had already booked a concert hall and advertised to the public about the child prodigy, the talented College Student!Hongjoong, and how he was going to perform for the masses.

You carried your bookbag against your chest as you peered into the classroom. It appeared they were still holding auditions, a flustered student moving away from the piano to collect their belongings. You glanced at your watch and then back at the classroom. You had booked the room for four a clock, hoping to get in some much need practice before winter break.

You gently knocked on the door, regrettably interrupting their session. You caught Mr Jung’s attention, who let out a large sigh.

“That’s all for today,” He directed to College Student!Hongjoong.

College Student!Hongjoong uncrossed his arms, stacking up his books which included his journal that was filled with songs he was in the process of writing.

“You can’t keep turning away students. We only have three more applicants left,” Mr Jung tried to resonate, “You won’t have a pianist if you keep this up.”

You waited a few moments before opening the door and entering. You set down your bookbag and dug out the piano sheets you’d be using today.

You didn’t bother offering a polite hello as you passed, College Student!Hongjoong barely sparing you a glance. College Student!Hongjoong was infamous among the other music student. Not only was he handsome, but he was also a child prodigy that had travelled and played at some of the most respectable and influential auditoriums around the world.

Despite his popularity, College Student!Hongjoong liked to keep mostly to himself. You somewhat understood. You too, were on the shyer side, without many friends in the department.

College Student!Hongjoong was about to follow Mr Jung out of the door when a song sweet and soft swept the room. He slowly turned, awe crossing his features as he watched your fingers effortlessly move over the keys.

You were smiling to yourself in a world completely of your own as you played. There was a sincerity in your tune. You played for yourself rather than for others which were something College Student!Hongjoong rarely came across.  

Mr Jung poked his head back through the door, wondering what had held up College Student!Hongjoong.

“Who is that?” College Student!Hongjoong tilted his head.

Mr Jung stared forth, “Ah, that’s Y/N,” a little taken aback by College Student!Hongjoong's interest, “I think she transferred late last semester.”

Y/N?

“I think I found myself, my pianist.” College Student!Hongjoong's lips lifted into a half-smile.

The debate, which will be held in the YMHA Auditorium on Mount Royal avenue west, is the second of the Montreal Debating League's 1932-33 schedule. 

Although both competing clubs are In their first season as members of the Montreal Debating League, they have participated in other public speaking function of former years and a close verbal battle is anticipated. N. S. Grabstein and M. E. Potoff representing YMHA will uphold the affirmative of the resolution while A. C. Hemmaway and R. W. Farmer will speak for the Ciceronians.

[AL: Love that the story is not about the racist subject matter - bog standard for the period - but the rivalry of Montreal’s apparently busy debating scene. Not a good look for the Young Men’s Hebrew Association leading with the racist panic, though.]

Oktoberfest in Sonoma at Vintage House

Overcast autumn weather didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the crowds that showed up for the second annual Oktoberfest at Sonoma’s Vintage House on Saturday, October 12.

Lines gathered outside Vintage House eager to join in the festivities which began promptly at 3:00 PM and continued until 6:00 PM that evening. The Joe Smiell Band stirred up the atmosphere with Volksmusik, the traditional style of music that is associated with Oktoberfest.

While various celebrations of autumn abound in many forms, unlike the ancient trace origins of Halloween and Harvest festivals, Oktoberfest isn’t that old. Back in October of 1810 the then Crown Prince Ludwig (who later became king) and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen celebrated their wedding in Munich.

As the United States is a melting pot of many people and cultures from around the world, some estimates calculate that from 1800 to the present-day, over 7 million people of German/Austrian descent emigrated to America. The apex of the migration was between 1840-1914.

The contribution they made is often over-looked. Educational approaches and concepts like “Kindergarten,” classical music through such legendary musical geniuses such as Mozart and Beethoven, etc.

Yet, perhaps the most overlooked influence of German culture upon America is through food. The seemingly “all-American” hot dog, hamburger and apple pie can trace some of its roots to Germany & Austria; specifically the Bavarian region.

It is the Bavarian region that most people like to remember Germany and Austria as, more so than the outburst of WWII and its immediate aftermath Of the 20th Century.

Bavaria lends itself to a more welcoming and romantic environment. This is something that all of Sonoma County can relate to, sharing in common especially as stunning vistas, mountains, hills and valleys are also well-known in the Bavarian countryside.

Even if Sonoma has been mostly Italian and Spanish/Mexican in most of its cultural history the one thing that just about everyone can relate to at an Oktoberfest is the food.

There was plenty of bratwurst sausages (often typical made of veal, beef and or pork) served with Sauerkraut, potatoes apple strudel, and of course, a pretzel. And attendees that Saturday afternoon were satiated with a bounty of beverages, particularly beer, wine and hard cider.

A number of people showed up dressed in dirndl, lederhosen and a Tyrolean or alpine style hat. The auditorium was arrayed in the traditional ‘Weiss and Blau’ (white & blue) diamond motif that some people say represents the clouds and blue skies of Bavaria.

As The Joe Smiell Band continued to play, regardless of dancing skill or experience many people joined in the Schuhplattler, a thigh-slapping and foot-stomping dance characteristic of an Oktoberfest celebration.

Pleased that the 2nd annual Oktoberfest fundraiser was well-attended, Vintage House, Board of Directors, President, Holly Seaton, PhD spoke to the crowd mentioning that… “$15,000 was raised last year.”

And, that “the funds raised at this year’s Oktoberfest helps to fund operation costs, she said, which allows Vintage House to continue providing over 60 weekly classes, programs and valuable services for seniors within Sonoma Valley.”

As a unique senior center the basic mission of Vintage House is to enhance the quality of life for Seniors and their families. It is only the senior center of its kind, serving all of Sonoma Valley Valley. Vintage House hosts an ever-expanding array of programs and services for its members and the broader community.

In addition to a silent auction, a ‘Munzautomat’ — a life-size slot machine was built by David Seyms, the operations manager at Vintage House. And, it along with all the activities made for an enjoyable gathering.

Seaton thanked the many people who worked to make the Oktoberfest a sellout hit of a celebration. Especially acknowledging Cogir Assisted Living & Memory Care who provided a smorgasbord of food, “just as it did last year,” she said.

Olde Sonoma Public House supplied the beer and was the biergarten sponsor, offering guests three Octoberfest-style brews. And, Wines poured were donated from Sangiacomo Family Wines, Larson Family Winery and Jam Cellars.

Pomme Cider Shop & Tap Room of Sonoma provided the refreshing hard cider and Brocco’s Barn of Sonoma on Arnold Drive donated dozens of haystacks and rustic accompaniments to give the event that fall season feeling.

Seaton and staff at Vintage House look forward to another Oktoberfest next year and hopefully many more years to come.

CHAOTIC 2024

Journal Entry #1 July 13, 2024

This morning, I woke up at 3 AM to start packing my things to get to the KPTM Bangi as I would be continuing my studies there, which is quite far away from home. Once I have done packing my things, my dad helped me to put those bags in the car boot and we are off to Bangi around 5 AM. I was just chilling on my seat until I fell asleep. Soon, I realized that we are now 8 kilometers away from the KPTM Bangi. I had arrived to the Hall where the new student registration is being held. Yet I got to wait for 2 more hours until my selected roommates arrived. At 11 AM, we got the room number of the hostel. My family and I was rushing to the hostel to start organizing my things in my dorm. I hanged every blouse I got and put my expensive things away as my roommates did not arrive at the hostel at that moment. I was scared to lose things rather than lose them myself. At 3 PM, we laughed until we cry, we hug each other to our last goodbye. I continued unpack my things until my roommates arrived one by one and I passed out at 5 PM. Soon, I woke up again at 9 PM as I had enough sleep so I go on and took a shower. Then, I had some chit chat with my roommates and I slept at 1 AM.

The next morning, I woke up at 4:30 AM to take a shower and get ready to attend my first orientation which I have to be at the Mosque at 5:30 AM to pray Subhu altogether. I walked to the campus at 7 AM to have breakfast that had been provided by the campus itself. After some time, I got to the Auditorium and had some activities and listened to the lecturers' speech. At 1 PM, I had lunch and prayed Zohoor at the campus' prayer room. I got to the Auditorium once again at 2 PM to continue the activities again. At 5 PM, I walked out of the campus to get to my hostel as the orientation had ended on that day. I got to my dorm and took a shower. Then I packed my bag for the class tomorrow. I laid down and played some games on my phone until I fell asleep around 11 PM.

In the morning, I got ready for my first class which is my writing class at 8 AM. I got to know each of my fellow classmates and introduced myself to everyone. I had lunch at 12 PM after class at the cafe and got to my dorm again and video call with my parents as I missed them so much. At 8 PM, I went to the Baker's cottage store to buy a Sausage Danish as my dinner. Then, I got to my dorm and eat it while enjoying a Netflix show. At 10 PM, I fell asleep.

Sincerely,

Nur Farah Najwa
