SOME RANDOM BAR Saturday 6/15 at 7:30 pm

Hope you can join us for this first event! It looks like there's a paid parking lot right by the bar.

I personally hate going to a bar and not knowing who is and is not part of the group.

Here's the approach I'm trying out - I'll be in the parking lot by my car from 7:30 to 8:00. I'll have a couple gold balloons on my car so look for that. Stop by, introduce yourself and get a GOLD VIP WRISTBAND before heading in to the bar.

This is simply so we can identify who's in our group. If you see a wristband wearer - INTRODUCE YOURSELF!

To be clear, the wristband is not associated with the bar. It costs nothing and will get you nothing at the bar. They're purely to make meeting each other easier.

Suggestion: think of ice breaker questions to follow up on the introduction.

Off the top I might use:
Tell me one of your top ten all time favorite songs.
If a theme song played whenever you enter a room, what would yours be?
What's the best series you've binge watched lately?
What is the last thing you watched that literally made you laugh out loud?
Tell me the first joke you can think of! The dumber the better!
What are some comedians that make you crack up?
What do you consider the best part of being single at this age?
How long have you lived out here?
What's your favorite non-touristy thing to do in or near Seattle?
Of course you can also use classic questions about work, hobbies etc.

Tips:
Please avoid hot button topics like politics and religion!
Please be chill - don't be easily offended - no one is purposely trying to offend anyone.
If you're not enjoying the conversation, excuse yourself to use the restroom or something and move on.
Be aware of your audience. If the person you're talking with seems uninterested or not engaged, don't push it. Just move on and introduce yourself to others.

We all have different takes on things! It's interesting just to find out about each other. We will not agree on everything. Our differences make things interesting!

Just be curious, open minded and quick to laugh!

NOTE:
The group is mainly meant as a way to make new friends. Just because someone engages with you, does not necessarily mean they are interested in dating you. Relax!

Managing how much you drink and getting home safely is on you alone! Be smart about it.

Also, don't leave your drink unattended. Until you trust a new person - it's safer to get your own drink from the bar.

You don't have to stay until the end time and you don't have to leave at the end time either. If your group wants to keep the party going after the bar closes at midnight that's cool too. Just go with the flow. No pressure.

Feel free to leave when you're tired or no longer having fun. That's my plan! Do you! It's all good.

So join us this upcoming Saturday (6/15) at 7:30 pm at SOME RANDOM BAR in Seattle.

Don't forget, if you want a wristband, look for me and gold balloons in parking lot by the bar at 7:30 - 8:00 pm. If I can't get a parking spot, I'll just bring the balloons in to the bar and we can do it inside.

OK then! Let's get this party started!! So curious to see how this goes LOL! I'm making this up as I go along!
