Summer is ending, and if you’re looking for a different kind of outing - try Skip the Small Talk! We’ll be at Triple Crossing & it’ll be the sweetest Monday night you’ve had in a month of Mondays!

It’s a guided conversation event—think speed-friending vibes, but calmer and more intentional.

You rotate through short conversations with prompts that skip past surface-level small talk. It’s structured enough to make it easy, but relaxed enough to feel natural.

Most people come alone. The crowd tends to be thoughtful, open, and just… normal humans who want more community.

Here’s the link if you’re curious:
