### ❌ Dating Apps vs. ✅ Elite Slow Dating

| Dating Apps | Elite Slow Dating |
| ----------- | ----------------- |
| Match based on photos | Match based on values & 60%+ compatibility |

4. **Secure Your Spot**

Flanker Kitchen + Sporting Club

Step into the allure of the Jazz Age on **July 18th** at **Flanker** for **The Roaring Gatsby Gala**, a night of elegance, dancing, and cinematic magic. Inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s *The Great Gatsby*, this soirée invites you to immerse yourself in an atmosphere of refined glamour and heartfelt romance.
**Why Gatsby?**
*The Great Gatsby* (published 1925) is a quintessential Jazz Age tale of wealth, longing, and the elusive American Dream. Through the enigmatic Jay Gatsby and his passionate pursuit of Daisy Buchanan, Fitzgerald explores themes of opulence, ambition, and love’s bittersweet edge. As one of the “Great American Novels,” Gatsby’s story continues to captivate with its timeless drama and lyrical elegance.
**What to Expect:**

* 🎬 **Film Projection:** Watch *The Great Gatsby* on the big screen, allowing you to revisit the glitz, the longing glances, and the lush parties that define Gatsby’s world.
* 💃 **Dance Floor & Social Mingling:** Slip into your finest attire and join fellow guests on the dance floor—celebrate the rhythm of the Roaring Twenties with spirited dancing and new connections.
* 🥂 **Chic Soirée Ambiance:** Although we won’t recreate vintage décor exactly, expect an environment of polished sophistication—soft lighting, tasteful seating areas, and an aura of Old-World elegance.
* 👗 **Gatsby-Inspired Dress Code:** Embrace the era’s timeless style—ladies in flapper-inspired dresses, beaded headbands, and art-deco accessories; gentlemen in sharp suits, vests, and fedoras. Let your attire speak to the romance and grandeur of the 1920s.
* 🤝 **Mingle & Network:** Celebrate under one roof with like-minded connoisseurs of art, literature, and refined experiences. Forge connections over the shared love of classic cinema and dance-worthy tunes.

**Tickets & Details:**

* **General Admission:** $40 per person
* **Date & Time:** July 18th, 7:00 PM
* **Location:** Flanker (357 W 200 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84101)
* **Capacity:** Limited seating to ensure an intimate, upscale experience—reserve early to secure your place.

Don’t miss this chance to journey back to Gatsby’s world—where every dance step shimmers with promise and every whispered conversation brims with possibility. Gather your friends, don your most glamorous Gatsby-inspired attire, and prepare for a night of elegance, enchantment, and unforgettable memories.
