👁️ DRINKING & STARING™: A Deeply Meaningful Lack of Interaction

Welcome to Drinking & Staring™, the event nobody asked for but everyone secretly needs.

Tired of conversations? Exhausted by small talk, big talk, and medium-sized talk? Perfect. Here, we remove the burden of language entirely and replace it with something far more powerful: prolonged, silent eye contact with strangers… while holding a drink.

Concept:

• You will enter the space.

• You will receive non-verbal instructions (yes, really).

• You will be assigned someone to stare at.

• No words.

• No context.

• No escape (emotionally, at least).

You may:

• Sip your drink 🍷
• Blink (sparingly, don’t get comfortable)
• Question your life choices

You may NOT:

• Speak
• Laugh (unless it becomes existential)
• Break eye contact without consequence (the consequence is unclear, which is part of the experience)

Why does this exist?
Hi, I’m Pierre. I run public speaking events.
Ironically, sometimes fewer people show up than expected… so I created this.
Because if people won’t come to speak, they will come to stare.
And honestly, it’s more honest.

What you’ll gain:

• Uncomfortable self-awareness
• A deep connection with a stranger you will never speak to
• The ability to assert dominance through stillness
• Possibly a drink paid at your own expense

Dress code:
Normal… but emotionally prepared.

Final note:
At some point, you may realize:
they are not the one being watched… you are.
