Gay Social's Neat Connections
The Laundromat, 4 Dehart Street, Morristown, NJ, USThis event is organized by Gay Social, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to fostering connections within our LGBTQ+ community through vibrant and inclusive social events. Join us to celebrate diversity, build friendships, and have some fun! Visit www.gaysocialnj.org for more information.
Neat Connections takes place in an underground, speakeasy-style bar in Morristown with live bands and a buzzing crowd. The music sets the tone for the night, and the space has that tucked-away feel where conversations happen naturally between songs and sets.
We gather in the back right side of the venue, where you’ll find a mix of familiar faces and new ones, chatting, laughing, and enjoying the night together. It’s social, welcoming, and a lot of fun to settle into once you find the group.
Look for our Community Manager, Rocky Rinaldi, who will help you find us, introduce you around, and make sure you feel welcome when you arrive.

Book for Discussion: Swimming in the Dark by Tomasz Jedrowski
Reading Between the Lines is a book-centered gathering that brings the LGBTQ community together for thoughtful, group conversation. The book is chosen by past attendees, which helps shape each gathering into something that feels shared and community-driven from the start.
The discussion is open and welcoming, with people jumping in to share thoughts, listen, and connect through different perspectives. You do not need to be a fast reader or have every page finished to feel part of the conversation. Curiosity and openness go a long way here.
Our Community Managers and the owners of Howling Basset Books, welcome newcomers and help guide the discussion so everyone has space to participate.
