PREPARE to Meet the Artists: Listen & discuss: Afro-Cuban Jazz Duo “Okan”

Who: You, Me, and new members of Introverts United.
What: PREPARE for "Artist Spotlight" (see separate MeetUp Event)
Date & Time: Friday, August 1st at 7-8pm (ending flexible)
Where: On ZOOM

Introverts United is a welcoming space where virtual connections turn into real-life friendships that build community. We start by meeting online to get to know each other—then connect in person at exciting events right here in Fort Collins, Colorado.

## 🎉 Launching This Week!

We’re kicking things off with a week of online meetups—culminating in a live, in-person gathering to welcome the acclaimed Afro-Cuban Jazz duo Okan at Bohemian Nights, Thursday, August 7th.

## 🎤 Artists Spotlight: Meet Okan on Zoom!

Sunday, August 3rd at 7pm (SEE SEPARATE LIVE EVENT on MeetUp.com)
Join us for our very first “Artists Spotlight” Zoom! Elizabeth Rodriguez and/or Magdelys Savigne—the powerhouse duo behind Okan—will be sharing their journey, answering your questions, and offering behind-the-scenes insight into their music. Don’t miss this unique chance to connect directly with the artists!

## 🎤 Let’s Get Acquainted as We Prepare to Meet the Artists

Check out our other MEETUP events earlier this week (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) so we can prepare to meet the artists on Sunday night.

Each session will highlight different music, thought-provoking questions, and fresh faces. The more sessions you attend, the richer our experience will be—both at the Artists Spotlight and the live show. Join us online to:

• Enjoy Okan’s vibrant music and lyrics
• Experience guided group conversations designed for the introvert: turn taking; right to pass; comfort in silence; no one dominates; every voice is heard.
• Connect through 1:1 breakout rooms for deeper, individual exchanges.

Then we'll attend the Artists Spotlight on Sunday (Aug 3rd) & the live concert the following Thursday (Aug 7th). We'll already know the band, their music, and each other, for a richer, more engaging experience.

## Come On Your Own—or Invite Someone New

Feel free to join any or all pre-concert Zoom workshops on your own; this event was created with you in mind.

Alternatively, you might invite someone—a stranger you meet at a coffee shop, an introverted acquaintance you’d like to get to know better, or even a family member or friend with whom you’d like to share the experience.

Become an instant part of this community by helping spread the word!
