Yup. Capping off a night of successful socialization with some of my closest friends and feeling more fulfilled than ever, then getting a sudden urge to run away home and sit in bed on tik tok to bask in the W

Congrats on launching another successful event AND convincing people they can have fun without their phones. It's so cool to see what you're creating IRL, an underrated skill and the future in my opinion.

Tobi this sounds incredible. I would love to run something like this one day. Keep it up! (Lately I’ve been horribly addicted to the slop and this gives me hope.)
