Social Explorers: First Event at the Green Lady!

Social Explorers: First Night at the Green Lady

Saturday, November 14 · 8:00 PM
Green Lady Cocktail Room, 431 Nohonani St, Honolulu (inside the White Sands Hotel)

Hi, I'm Luna, and this is the very first Social Explorers meetup. I started this group for a simple reason: it's hard to walk into a room full of strangers, and it's a lot easier when everyone showed up for exactly that reason. So that's what we're doing. No agenda, no icebreaker worksheets. Just good drinks, a beautiful little room, and conversation that starts wherever it starts.

The spot

The Green Lady is a hidden cocktail room tucked inside the White Sands Hotel. It's small and moody, about twenty velvet seats inside plus an outdoor courtyard, and when you walk in, ask for Room 8. It opens at 8 PM daily, which is when we're starting, so arriving close to 8 gives us the best shot at seats together. There are no reservations, so I can't promise we'll all be in one cluster, but that's part of the charm. We'll flow.

What to expect

We'll gather from 8 PM, grab whatever seats and courtyard space we can, and settle in.
I'll be the one making introductions early on. If you arrive and don't know anyone, find me and I'll get you folded in.
After that, it's just talking. Stay with the group or drift between conversations. Both are correct.
No hard end time. Stay as long as it's fun, leave when it isn't.

A note on drinks

This is a 21+ event, since we're meeting at a cocktail bar. Order what you like, including nothing at all. The Green Lady's drinks are the kind you sip slowly, and I'd ask everyone to pace themselves and look out for each other. The point of the night is conversation, and the best version of it happens when everyone's actually present for it. If you'd rather not drink, the courtyard and the company are reason enough to come.

Getting there and getting home

Valet at the White Sands is $12 for 3 hours, and there's paid parking around the block at International Market Place. Rideshare is easy in that part of Waikiki. If you're drinking, please plan your ride home before the night starts. A designated driver, a rideshare, the bus, whatever works. Just make it a decision you make early, not at midnight.

What to bring

Yourself, and a friend if you'd rather not come alone. Guests are welcome.
Your ID. It's 21+ and they will check.
A plan for getting home, made in advance.

RSVP

Please RSVP so I know roughly how many of us to expect and can keep an eye out for new faces. If your plans change, update your RSVP when you can, since space inside is limited and I want to be fair to the venue. If we end up with a big group, I may call ahead to talk with them about handling a larger party, so an accurate headcount genuinely helps.

If you have questions before the night, post them in the group or message me directly. I'd rather answer ten questions than have someone stay home wondering.

That's it. Come as you are, ask for Room 8, and let's make the first one a good one.

See you there,
Luna
