## THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER SINGLES NIGHT
Dating apps promised connection.
Instead, many people feel tired, disconnected, and quietly wondering if meaningful relationships are still possible.
They are.
But they rarely happen on a screen.
They happen when people show up in real life.
Kismetrix is a real-life social experience designed for people who are done swiping and ready to meet properly again.
No apps.
No scripts.
No awkward formats.
Just real people, real conversations, and real chemistry in a room full of others who feel the same.
If you've ever thought:
âSurely there are still great people out there â I just need to meet them differently.â
This night was created for you.
***
## WHY THIS EVENT IS DIFFERENT
Kismetrix events bring together socially engaged singles who are open to meeting new people in real life.
Our community attracts people who are:
⢠warm, confident, and grounded
⢠socially curious and open to conversation
⢠interested in meaningful connection
⢠ready to meet people beyond dating apps
People arrive curious.
People stay because the energy feels right.
And sometimes they leave with connections they never expected.
Connection doesnât happen by staying home.
***
## A NOTE ABOUT THIS EVENT FORMAT
This event was originally envisioned on a larger scale.
However, as itâs come together, weâve intentionally refined the format to better reflect what Kismetrix is truly about â creating space for **genuine, meaningful, and authentic connection**.
For this night, all guests will be brought together in **one main room**, rather than across multiple areas.
This allows for a more cohesive atmosphere, better flow, and more natural conversations throughout the evening.
Because at the end of the day, itâs not about the size of the crowd â
itâs about the moments that happen within it.
***
## CURATED AGE ZONES
To help everyone feel comfortable and meet people in a similar life stage, guests attend within curated age zones inside the venue:
⢠26â38
⢠34â50
⢠45+
While everyone shares the same main space, this helps create a more comfortable and relevant social experience.
***
## THE VIBE AT SECRET GARDEN BAR
Secret Garden Bar offers a lush indoorâoutdoor setting in the heart of St Kilda â perfect for relaxed social connection.
Expect:
⢠warm lighting and vibrant atmosphere
⢠effortless mingling and natural conversations
⢠a welcoming crowd where coming solo is completely normal
⢠great music and a lively (but not overwhelming) social environment
Every ticket includes a complimentary standard drink, helping everyone settle in and start conversations naturally.
There will also be some fun optional games and interactive moments throughout the evening to help spark conversations and encourage guests to meet beyond their immediate circle.
Participation is completely optional â the night flows naturally whether you prefer to mingle freely or join in.
***
## HOSTING & FLOW
Kismetrix hosts will be present from 7:00 PM â 10:00 PM to welcome guests and support the social flow.
After hosted hours, the venue remains open â so you're welcome to stay on, mingle, and let the night continue naturally.
***
## THIS NIGHT IS FOR YOU IFâŚ
âď¸ You're over dating apps but still believe connection is possible
âď¸ You enjoy meeting people naturally in real life
âď¸ You prefer genuine conversations over loud, crowded scenes
âď¸ You're open to new conversations and unexpected connections
Even if you don't meet âthe one,â you'll leave reminded that meaningful connection is still very much alive.

Event details:
Hobart's favourite purveyors of spirited Italian food team up with their fellows on Little Bourke Street for an Amalfi-inspired Sunday feast.
Federica Andrisani, Oskar Rossi and the team from Hobart favourite Fico are getting together with their fellow purveyors of contemporary Italian flavours this Festival to cook a lunch inspired by Federica and Oskarâs recent travels on the Amalfi Coast.
âFicoâs creative embrace of Tasmanian produce is deeper, more interesting and tastier than ever, wrote the critics at the Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Guide back in August. âWhere (nearly) 10 years might see some adopt cruise mode, owner-chefs Federica Andrisani and Oskar Rossi continue to surprise with both creativity and craft.â
With those sentiments in mind, and with the dial pointed towards that most beautiful stretch of the coast of Campania, you can expect lemons, you can expect tomatoes at their peak, you can expect seafood â heck, there might even be pasta â but itâll all be offered with that same creative spirit that make Fico and Ilaria such celebrated destinations for lovers of good food and wine.
On their own, theyâre exciting â together theyâre incredible. Back it all up with the service that Tipo and Ilaria are known for, and drinks list packed full of good things and youâve got a day full of sunshine and fun.
MFWF- 2026.

**Unlocking Retirement Capital: Flips, Wholesales & Private Money Strategies in Self-Directed Accounts**
**Featuring Guest Speaker:** Amanda Holbrook (Specialized Trust Company)
**Hosted by:** Columbus Investors Club
### **Event Description**
Most people think retirement accounts are passive.
That theyâre âfor later.âThat you canât touch them. That real estate and retirement money donât mix.
Theyâre wrong.
This meetup is about how investors use **Self-Directed IRAs and Solo 401(k)s** to put retirement capital to workâŚ**buying real estate, funding deals, and even raising private money** (the right way).
### **Featured Guest Speaker: Amanda Holbrook**
Weâre excited to welcome **Amanda Holbrook of Specialized Trust Company** to break this down clearly and practicallyâŚso you understand whatâs allowed, how it works, and what to avoid.
### **What Youâll Learn**
Amanda will walk through:
**Flip inside a Self-Directed IRA or Solo-401(k)**
* How to structure the deal correctly
* How expenses must be handled
* When UBIT may apply
**Wholesale within a retirement account**
* How assignments work
* What type of income it creates
**Use OPM (Other Peopleâs Money) to scale**
* How investors raise private money from Self-Directed IRAs
* How to structure notes properly
* How to fund deals inside **and** outside your own retirement account
### **The Core Idea**
There is a lot of capital sitting in retirement accounts.
This session shows you how real estate investors unlock it **without guessing, winging it, or accidentally creating a compliance mess.**
### **Who This Event Is For**
* Investors flipping or wholesaling who want to understand self-directed rules
* Anyone raising private money (or wanting more capital sources)
* People with retirement funds who want them working harder than stocks/mutual funds
