SINGLES SIP + DRAW
for people who wouldn't be caught dead at a singles mixer
We're bringing together 48 people (24 men, 24 women) who are cool, attractive (inside + out),
engaging East Sider creatives in their 30s + 40s, in a fun, vibey, giant old loft in Lincoln Heights.
*This event is for straight people. Other options coming soon!
INFO
THURSDAY - Sept 17th, 2026 - 6:30 PM
It's like speed dating, but not lame.
It's 3 minute blind gesture drawing dates, then lots of mingling.
WHAT'S BLIND GESTURE DRAWING?
You sit across from your date and draw them
while never removing your pen from the paper,
and never looking down.
Then you look, & laugh with each other over the wild drawings.
It's so fun, and avoids the same old boring dating questions.

Schedule
The first half hour is checking in, grabbing a drink and refreshments, mingling, and getting settled into 24 pairs.
Then we begin 3 minute dates where you draw your date without lifting your pen, or looking down at your paper, for a couple minutes. Then a minute to show each other and laugh at how wild the drawings are, and exchange info if you wish.
At the halfway point, after 12 dates, there will be an intermission to grab more refreshments and drinks and mingle a bit more before the final 12 dates.
After everyone has finished the final drawing, there will be up to an hour to mingle and enjoy the space with more refreshments and drinks, while the vibey music continues to play on the speakers to set the mood.
Mission
It's like the exclusive 4-letter dating app with creative professionals, but without the pretentiousness and lack of communication.
It's for people who hate other singles events because it's usually not even close to their vibe of people.
It's for more complex and intriguing human beings that are looking for similar.
Stop swiping and come do some weird, shitty drawings and connect with great souls like you!
