Made a list of some of my fav things in Nolita / SoHo, gathered 20 of my best friends, we all purchased disposable cameras and went to work on getting the pics. We met for a big dinner afterwards and this fall we’ll be hosting an outside reveal party with a projector & wine. As I’ve gotten older it’s become less about the gifts and more about the people and the experience. Had a blast this year! Cannot wait to see how the pics come out!

I live in a suburb and have no clue how anyone builds community, but I'm trying to learn. For half a year, I had a monthly part that included movie nights, dinners, and trivia, one of which was French Salon-themed. We all dressed in 19th-century garb, spoke about philosophy, and played the game Dirty Laundry (Thx Dropout). I shut off all the lights in my house and only used candles for the evening. I spent fifteen hours straight cooking and custom menus. Similar night themes included: Tumblr Party, Coming of Age Film, Lesbian Movie Night, Scooby Doo, Summer's End, etc. Overall, good community-building effort, will do it again.
Side Note: Despite its career effects on graphic designers, no one has a stranglehold on me more than Canva when making party invitations.

Every month Fern (@phaant4), Sophie (@irlhannahmontana), and I host a party at Old Flings (25 Avenue A) and I'm gonna be honest and somewhat unbiased, it's always a fun time and a cool spot to get your picture taken (by me :) and others). This month we're doing "Le Sleepy Girl" our little pajama party on September 26th and it's gonna be amazing. We have some very fierce DJs and just in general our event always attracts a crowd that isn't all people interested in the clout of an event which I personally like cause when an event is mostly people interested in the prospect of getting their photo taken an event loses it's sense of fun cause everyone has this focus of always looking good for the camera (that's why I'm the one taking the photos lmao) So if you're in New York you should come!

florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones — we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight.
In all seriousness — weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.

I feel like there’s a special connectivity on this app that I haven’t felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010’s tumblr. The fact that you can’t promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isn’t mass video content like Tik Tok is great. It’s not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup).
Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope we’ll all be here for a long time.

I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. It’s made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love.
I just never thought I’d feel the same way about URL friends. I’m constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed.
It’s nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. I’m going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
