May 23 | Kismetrix Social — A Hosted Singles Evening at Secret Garden
🎉 **KISMETRIX \| TRUE CONNECTION**
[Ticketed Event](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/may-23-kismetrix-social-a-hosted-singles-evening-at-secret-garden-tickets-1988384078304?aff=oddtdtcreator)
**Kismetrix Social — Drinks, Conversation & Connection Under the Sunflowers**
Hosted by KISMETRIX \| True Connection
📍 Secret Garden Bar: 7/60 Fitzroy St, St Kilda VIC 3182
📅 Saturday 23 May 2026
🕖 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM *(venue open late)*
## A SATURDAY NIGHT TO ACTUALLY CONNECT
There's a place in St Kilda where sunflowers hang from the ceiling, the garden feels like a secret you've stumbled into, and the night just slows down a little.
That's where we're hosting Kismetrix Social — our most relaxed evening, designed for singles who want real conversation, good company, and a Saturday night that actually feels like one.
Think less "dating event"… more a Saturday night you'd actually choose to go out for.
## 💫 ABOUT THE EVENT
Tired of dating apps that go nowhere? Over environments that feel forced or awkward? So were we.
KISMETRIX \| True Connection was created for people who want something more human — real conversation\, real presence\, genuine connection\.
You'll walk into a room full of people who:
🌻 Are open to meeting others
🌻 Enjoy good conversation and social energy
🌻 Prefer real-life interaction over apps
🌻 Are simply here for a good, intentional night out
Come for a drink. Stay for the vibe. See where the night goes.
## 🌻 THE VIBE
Picture it: warm lighting, hanging sunflowers above your head, the garden buzzing softly around you, and the kind of crowd where it's actually easy to start a conversation.
Expect:
🌻 A welcome drink in your hand within a minute of arriving
🌻 A warm, hosted welcome so nobody walks in feeling lost
🌻 Hosted introductions early in the evening to help conversations get started
🌻 Free-flowing mingling with light support from our hosts throughout the night
🌻 Conversation prompts on each table, if the room needs them
🌻 A relaxed, social crowd of intentional singles
No rotations. No forced formats. No hookup-bar energy. Just a thoughtfully designed night under the sunflowers, with people who actually want to meet someone.
## 👥 AGE GUIDE: 28–45
Kismetrix Social is open to all singles who care about meaningful connection. We provide an age guide so you know what to expect — most of our guests will fall within this range.
The focus of our events is intentional people, not strict age groups. If you're slightly outside this range and the format feels right for you, you're welcome to book.
## 🎯 WHO THIS NIGHT IS FOR
This event is for singles who:
🌻 Prefer a relaxed, social way to meet people
🌻 Enjoy conversation without forced formats
🌻 Want something more grounded than the apps
🌻 Appreciate good venues, good drinks, good company
🌻 Are open, friendly, and easy-going
Come solo or with a friend — most people come solo. You'll be in good company.
## 🍽️ FOOD & DRINKS
Your ticket includes a welcome drink on arrival.
Secret Garden has a great food and drinks menu throughout the night, available directly from the venue. Perfect if you'd like to make a full evening of it — and many of our guests do.
## 🎟 TICKETS
🌻 Early-Bird — $39
🌻 Bring-a-Friend Early-Bird — $35 each (paired bookings only)
🌻 General — $45
🌻 Last Minute— $55
Welcome drink included at every tier. Tickets are limited to maintain a comfortable, social atmosphere — early booking is recommended.
## 💡 WHY PEOPLE LOVE KISMETRIX EVENTS
🌻 No swiping. No apps. Just real people
🌻 No awkward formats or forced interactions
🌻 Thoughtful structure without rigidity
🌻 A genuinely enjoyable night — even if you come solo
🌻 Hosted by people who actually care about how the night feels
Many guests come "just for a drink"… and end up staying all night.
## ✨ WHERE KISMETRIX SOCIAL FITS
Kismetrix Social is our most accessible event — a relaxed, hosted evening for singles who want real connection without the structure of our Elevated Evenings or the formality of our Dinners.
It's the easiest way to experience how we do things, and many guests go on to join our other events from here.
## 🔔 IMPORTANT NOTES
🌻 This is a hosted social experience — not speed dating
🌻 A welcome drink is included; additional drinks and food are available at the venue
🌻 Participation in introductions is always optional
🌻 Respect, boundaries, and good energy are essential
🌻 Tickets are non-refundable but transferable

There is no pre-requisite preparation necessary, nor a philosophical background, all that is required is a curious mind. These discussions are both a Socrates Cafe style discussion and lively metaphysical dojo, in the spirit of learning and friendly debate, so please feel free to challenge assumptions and be prepared to have your own assumptions challenged.
This event is also posted to the Philosophy Circle group.
Topic questions below, however please note these are open sessions not strict to the below:
* Is memory a record, a reconstruction or a story?
* When should we trust our memory? Is vividness reliable?
* Are you the same person as your teenage self?
* Can you genuinely remember something that never happened?
* Does memory make us the same person over time?
* Is nostalgia a form of truth or distortion?
* Can forgetting be a virtue?
* What should societies remember, and what should they let go?
* Would you choose to have perfect memory if it were offered to you?
* When we wake from a dream, are we remembering an experience or partly constructing a story after the fact?
* Are emotions in dreams real emotions or only simulations of emotions?
Hope to see you there!

Ensuring Software Quality in the world of AI Developers - Matt Eland
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.

Drunken Philosophy: What’s up with all the AI hate?
**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion
**Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?**
A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad.
My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one.
Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it?
I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction.
Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends.
No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
