What’s it like?

Folks have been asking us for an event just for people age 40 and over, so this event is just that! If you’re under 40 and would like to join us, feel free to check out our other events here: www.skipthesmalltalk.com/calendar

Do you wish you could have more of the kinds of conversations you have late at night where for some reason, you feel safe talking about the things you actually care about?

Bring your friends (or come by yourself— most people do) and spend your Sunday night at an event where you know everyone else is there for the same reason.

We'll be offering "big talk" conversational prompts on them to get you started, and we'll have lots of structure to make sure that you actually talk to people and that it's not awkward.

Not feeling like answering a particular question? No worries, we'll have plenty to choose from, like, "When are you the happiest?" and, "If you were going to become close friends with me, what would I need to know about you?"

We'll give you ground rules to make sure you feel comfortable and safe sharing as much of yourself as possible while still feeling in complete control of how much you share.

There will be food and beer as well as non-alcoholic drinks for sale!

Check-in for this event will begin around 3:45 pm. Please do your best to arrive before 4:00 pm so we can begin as close to on time as possible.

Skip the Small Talk is dedicated to providing an inclusive, welcoming environment for everyone. Check out our safety policy here: tinyurl.com/ststSafety

Since this event is at a brewery, please bring your government-issued ID. This event is for folks age 40 and over.

Need accessibility accommodations?

Aeronaut Cannery is wheelchair accessible.

We are happy to offer live ASL upon request. Due to the use of one-on-one conversations during the event, we request at least five days' notice to make sure we are able to provide an ASL interpreter for each person who needs them. Please reach out to Ashley at [email protected] so we can discuss what we can do for you.

We encourage guests to do what they need to in order to feel as comfortable as possible during the event, like taking breaks, eating, stretching, using fidget tools, leaving early, etc.

While we acknowledge that there is no such thing as a space that is perfectly accessible for everyone, we do what we can to welcome as many people as possible while prioritizing the needs of those who are systematically oppressed. If you have any accessibility needs that we might be able to help with or if money is a barrier to attending, please reach out to Ashley at [email protected].

We are monitoring COVID rates and our COVID policy is subject to change based on local guidelines. In accordance with current local guidelines, we require that all guests wear a mask at this event, and that all guests show proof of vaccination in order to participate.

Ready to skip the small talk with us?

Grab a ticket since entry is on a first come first serve basis and we tend to sell out in advance for these-- once we are out of tickets, we will NOT be able to accommodate folks at the door.
