Andrei’s Birthday Bash in Itaewon!

Hey everyone! It’s time to celebrate the birthday of our favorite meetup organizer, Andrei Calinescu!

Whether you want to talk shop, play some games, or just enjoy a great night out in Itaewon, come out and show Andrei some love. We’ve booked an entire private bar just for us!

[Where & When] Date: Saturday, June 13th Time: 6:00 PM – Midnight (with potential to extend!)

Venue: Itaewon Musimco Bar (이태원 무심코 바 전체대관) Address: 3rd Floor, 49 Itaewon-ro 27ga-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul (서울 용산구 이태원로27길 49 3층)

Direction Tip: Just a 2-minute walk from Itaewon Station, Exit 1 (Right in the main street area!)

[What's the Vibe?] The Plan: Jackbox Party Games, bring or order food, and bring your own drinks. Honestly, whatever else Andrei wants to do, he’s the boss tonight!

The Venue: It's a gorgeous 3rd-floor private bar space with a high-end sound system.

Note: Smoking is not allowed indoors, but there is a 2nd-floor terrace available for smokers.

Bring yourself, good vibes, food, and drinks if you want. Presents are absolutely NOT expected.

IF you do want to bring something, Andrei is a culinary nerd and also into camping. Here's some handy info.

✅: homemade foods, your grandma's 묵은지, charcuterie (but not jamon or prosciutto), cheeses (but no brie or camembert bought in Korea) international, exotic, unique, or rare ingredients. (Think interesting spices, unusual fruits, juices, snacks, seasonings, rare oils, etc.) Also excluding non-artisanal alcohol. Only wine, 막걸리, and Belgian sour beers are ok.

Bonus points: Anything related to fermentation or pickling!

Skip the flex: No need for expensive or luxury brand items, he prefers authentic flavors over hefty price tags!

❌: seafood, spicy things, vinegar pickles
