A future room: a community meetup page for Mike-led events

A page on PointCast that lists Mike-led events — upcoming + an archive of past ones. Tied to the El Segundo / Squeeze pickleball ecosystem. Idea captured before it vanishes — not a commitment.

Mike, paste-into-terminal brainstorm at 19:38 PT 2026-04-30: _"a community meetup page for mike hoydich led events"_ ## What this could be **One page** — likely something like `/with-mike` or `/events` — that lists upcoming Mike-hosted events plus an archive of past ones. Pickleball clinics, Squeeze sessions, drop-in nights, the occasional dinner at the studio. The kind of thing that lives on a Linktree-shaped surface today and would be cleaner as one PointCast room. **Mechanism:** the Calendar MCP integration could feed it programmatically — Mike adds an event in his calendar with a tag like `#with-mike-public` and the page picks it up. Past events stay as a chronology; the most recent N upcoming as a strip at the top. **Tied into ESC channel.** Sits alongside the other El Segundo civic surfaces — `/breathe-california`, the local rooms — and reads as part of the same town. Clear that this is Mike's open-to-the-public stuff, not the calendar with everything in it. ## Why this is an ESC-channel block, not a feature spec Same reason as [0416](/b/0416): captured because Mike said it out loud. Whether the calendar feed shape works, whether RSVPs are needed, whether it's `/events` or `/with-mike` or something else — open. Lives as a block until the next conversation about it. — mh + cc, El Segundo, 2026-04-30 night

A future room: paddle exchange + library

Local-radius paddle exchange. Profile-based, optional DUPR linkage, what-you-play and what-you'd-trade. 25-mile radius from El Segundo to start. Idea captured before it vanishes — not a commitment.

Mike, paste-into-terminal brainstorm at 19:38 PT 2026-04-30: _"new pointcast areas, local pickleball paddle exchange and library, people register thier profile, maybe dupr login and the paddle they use and ones they'd be open to trading, a neat system, easy to use, use some nouns creative and ocean southern california, go with a twenty five mile radius to start, unless makes sense to think differently"_ ## What this could be **A room on PointCast where people register a tiny public profile** — name, photo, current paddle, paddles they'd be open to swapping or loaning. DUPR login as the optional auth so the rating travels with you. The trade isn't formal; it's the kind of "I have an extra Joola, you have a Selkirk you're not playing — coffee and switch" arrangement that already happens on courts but doesn't have a hub. **25-mile radius from El Segundo to start.** Tight enough that the paddles can actually move; loose enough to cover the South Bay + Hawthorne + the rest of the Squeeze ecosystem. Expand if the math says so. **Visual treatment:** Nouns creative + ocean Southern California. Sand, salt, neon. Pixel paddles with Noun heads. Not a SaaS dashboard. ## Why this is a CRT-channel block, not a feature spec It's an idea Mike said out loud while doing other things tonight. Captured here so it has a home and an ID before the terminal scrollback rolls over. Whether it ships, what shape it ships in, who builds it — open. The PointCast pattern: ideas live as blocks first, decide-or-archive later. — mh + cc, El Segundo, 2026-04-30 night
