An evening built around attraction, longing, mixed signals, and adult confusion.
About this Event
Event Photos

For people burnt out from the apps, recovering from situationships, missing accidental connection, or simply wanting better conversations than the ones they’ve been having lately.

The structure makes interaction easier to enter and harder to fake.

Part of the night expands our understanding of intimacy beyond romance, status, or rigid expectations around partnership. Part of it is hearing people say things out loud that usually stay trapped in screenshots, voice notes, or private conversations after midnight.

The evening moves through facilitated conversational rounds, paired and small-group interaction, and enough room for people to meet naturally without spending the night trying to invent an opening line.

People tend to leave with a story, a realization, a number, a different perspective on love, or at minimum the relief of feeling slightly less insane.

Wine and zero-proof drinks available by donation.

Come alone or bring someone.
