About this Event

Friend Request: The Audacity Edition

Most people say they want connection.

Few people risk the honesty that makes it possible.

Friend Request is a structured social experience built for people who take friendship seriously and can tolerate a little friction along the way.

This round explores Audacity.

Not the loud kind.

The everyday kind.

The moment you say the thing.

Ask the question.

Choose the life you actually want.

The kind of nerve that changes a conversation.

What happens

You’ll move through timed one-on-one conversations and group prompts designed to wake people up a little.

Expect questions like:

• What conversation have you been rehearsing for years?

• What version of you is waiting for better timing?

• What does audacity look like in your actual life?

Some questions are funny.

Some are uncomfortable.

Most land somewhere useful.

You will talk to strangers.

You will learn things about people quickly.

And occasionally you will hear yourself say something

you didn’t realize you believed.

This is for you if

☐ Your social life is full but your conversations feel thin

☐ Your bullshit detector works very well

☐ You like smart people who are capable of laughing at themselves

☐ You suspect strangers might be more interesting than the internet

☐ You’re curious what happens when people skip small talk

The structure

• Guided group moments

• Timed one-on-one conversations

• Prompts that create actual dialogue

• Just enough unpredictability to keep things interesting

No networking scripts.

No name tags with personality traits.

Just a room full of people willing to try something slightly braver than usual.

Deeper connections don't happen by accident. Neither does a good conversation. We design for both.
