MKE Goat Yoga
- May 11,12,19
- Various locations
Share your yoga mat with a baby dwarf goat in a session of “caprine vinyasa,” or goat yoga, a trend that dates back to an Oregon farm in 2016. Presented by MKE Yoga Social and Platinum Sky Farms, there’s six chances to try it out this month: May 11 (9 and 10am classes) at Freight 38 (838 S. First St.) and May 12 (10 and 11 a.m.) and May 19 (10 and 11 a.m.) at DNA Hemp Farm (8494 Pilgrim Road, Menomonee Falls). Expect about 30 minutes of yoga poses and 30 minutes of goat mingling. But why goats? MKE Yoga Social says the interaction with the critters reduces cortisol and blood pressure, boosts your mood, plus “baby goats are really damn cute!” Tickets are $49 per yogi, available here: app.fitdegree.com/t/dashboard?f=667&co=627.

- Saturday, May 18
- The Fitzgerald
- 1119 N. Marshall St.
Awkward Nerd Events specializes in immersive, geek-themed experiences and their latest shindig celebrates “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” for a night of “supernatural elegance.” The show spun off of a 1992 movie and ran for seven seasons from 1997-2003, and still has a cult following today. Buffy and her valiant friends spent those years attending Sunnydale High while simultaneously battling a never-ending onslaught of vampires and other things that go bump in the night.

There will also be a Sunnydale High themed trophy case, a photobooth, audience “Superlative Awards,” and themed cocktails and mocktails. Wearing “your best prom attire with a Buffy-inspired twist” is encouraged.
VIS (Very Important Slayers) get in at 7:30, general admission 8pm-Midnight. Tickets start at $50 and are available here: awkwardnerdevents.com/products/buffy-prom.
