The content of the page will be updated as more info gets clear and after people will ask me questions I absolutely forgot to adress or had no idea would be good to mention.
As with most of our events that get their website, it’s hosted on RocketCoil because that’s the webpage we have avalable. At some point this stuff will get it’s own website.
OK, enjoy.
Wanna know more what’s it about?
Here it is!
Context
Over the last several months, I’ve met a few different people from all sorts of places who said “man, I need to meet new people”. That was great, because I felt that, too.
Meeting new people can be hard for some of us. After we’re done with schooling, meeting new people gets a bit challenging. It’s usually limited to work, sometimes conferences or other profession related events, and if we’re lucky to have group of friends who organizes parties, that’s a way to go about it - but not everyone have that. There’s also an aspect where sometimes it’s very beneficial to meet people who one would never stumble upon by the sheer circumstance.
Premise
I’m lucky to have friends and acquaintances who are interesting people themselves. Some of them don’t know each other yet for any reason, and I think some of them should meet, in no particular order. I’m super sure those friends have interesting friends that I’d like to meet myself. Simply put, I’m remarkably sure I’m absolutely not a standout with such thinking, and everyone reading this feels this way.
So, what’s going on?
The upcoming friday, April 5th at 18.00 we’re meeting up and hanging out! If you’re reading this, you’re invited!
What Should I do?
First and foremost, you’re welcome to show up. Extra points if you’re bringing a friend with you that needs to meet new people, too (whether that’s your perception or theirs). In fact that’s very encouraged, as everyone has their own “jam” in people.
It’s super great if you bring some kind of snack and/or drink with you, be it for yourself or to share. We’re gonna make sure there’s something to munch on, however, we have no idea (at the time of writing) whether it’s going to be five people or twenty people.
Some additional stuff…
… for we don’t know what’s up :
The main idea besides just getting to know new people you might hang out with in the future more is, that we meet different views as well. It’s good to know what people are the strands that make up the fabric of our society. I can assure you it’s mostly good people.
I generally think it’s going to be a nice get together and we’re just gonna talk about everyday things, however, a lot of you are the ‘small talk is boring, let’s be interesting’. Now, you know, how we people are. We expect things. We also have past experience. We have opinions, we have beliefs, we have different ways of going through life. So this part here is a tiny disclaimer that might initially shake you up, due to the very unique nature of the event. The very thing that’s making it exciting. But read all the way through.
It’s very very likely the roster of people that’s going to come will be extremely broad; and I’m talking about the spectrums we hear about on tv and internet. It’s going to be broad in a political views sense, about religious belief sense, about lgbtq+ sense, age, gender, professions and whatnot. I’m pointing this out for a few reasons, your automatic one would be to be respectful, but people who are reading this are generally respectful by their core belief. I’m pointing this out because it means there will be people like you there - unique in their own way. We need to share our uniqueness. Help us make the safe space by giving a bit of yourself away. Have people know where you’re coming from if the topic arises for anything that you stand for. Let’s take care of each other. And, you know where to find us. I’m well aware such disclaimers can be a bit intimidating, but I’m going to repeat: you know, how we people are. We expect things. We also have past experience. We have opinions, we have beliefs. This disclaimer is mainly meant to encourage your participation in your best capacity, and so it doesn’t catch you blindsided, in case the roster of people really will be this different.
(1) - interesting is a broad term. I, for one think everyone’s interesting. By the virtue of existing, a person is interesting and thus you’re interesting.
With kindest and best regards, Klavdij, Nadja and Grace
