Drink Talk Learn party

[ripper]

Have you heard of this? I’m trying to make some new friends in my city, that live in the neighbourhood, and I’m thinking of having one of these parties. It sounds so fun and would be a fucking hilarious icebreaker.

Would you attend one of these?

If so, what would you talk about in your presentation? Obvioisly, aim for funny and ridiculous. See link for examples.

I saw this on FB. It’m intrigued.

[shan-ah-doo]

I’d do a presentation on something fun I think.

[Yogurt]

It looks fun.

[leatherpants]

I would want to go but I’d have to have lots of lead time to obsess and overthink what my presentation would be about.

[flaviadeluce]

I saw this the other day and am intrigued. I’d love to attend if I thought I had something to contribute, but I have no idea what it would be.

[shan-ah-doo]

The sonic one was cool.

[Yogurt]

I don't know what I'd do the presentation on. I'd feel so much pressure to be interesting!

[heybulldog]

I would for sure do this! Sounds like a really good time. Now I need to think about what I’d present on.

[leatherpants]

Maybe I would do mine on ridiculous House Hunters episodes. I get really passionate about that.

[allthekristys]

I would attend in a heartbeat. I’d probably talk about meal planning strategies cause I’m cool like that 😎

Oooh good one.

[Uncaripswife]

I would do a presentation on sex in the Buffyverse.

Slide 1: Buffy + Angel
Slide 2: Spike + Dru
Slide 3: Buffy + Spike
Slide 4: Xander + Anya
Slide 5: Willow + Tara

I think this is a great idea for a party. I'd have to think for a while about what I would do my presentation on.

[Pizzaslut]

This seems fun. No idea what my presentation would be though.

[leahcar]

MH went to one of these; it was called PechaKecha (I think?). 20 slides -20 seconds each. Said it was fun! I'd like to try.

[honda]

This is awesome. I will return with a presentation idea.

[mrsbutt]

Mine would probably be on all the weird and wild things I’ve seen in hotels over the course of my work life.

[robot]

MH went to one of these. I believe his presentation was a thesis on why our cat is such an asshole.

[rvasc]

Kaplan does this for interviews for test prep teachers. Or they did when they hired me. It was a fun interview.

[Lord Disick]

That looks fun. I have no idea what I would talk about.

Am I the only one who read this as Dirty Talk Learn party? Just me? K.

I thought you learned how to talk dirty at a party and was like, "no, Ripper, that doesn't sound fun at all."

[emma]

I love this! I’d absolutely go to one and it’s like an easy way to figure out early who in the neighbourhood are your people

There’s your presentation right there - how to talk dirty

To be fair a dirty talk presentation would not make it to my list of My People

I would make mine an extraordinarily detailed presentation about something totally mundane — like making a sandwich.

Or how to give a bunny a bath.

omg, that is hilarious.  I am always bitching to my H about how bad sandwich makers are at their jobs.  Today I got a sandwich and when I unwrapped, the meat was all on the right side and the pickles were all on the left, so I had to double bite to get the whole flavour profile.  I could easily do a 1 hour presentation on this topic.  I am passionate about sandwich making.  SaveSave

robot, mrsbutt, - great ideas. I would be into it.

I would NOT like this! No no no!!! I have to do homework? I have to come up with a FREAKING PRESENTATION? Hell no! I love parties, but I would potentially not go. Plus I have to listen to everybody's stupid presentations instead of talking/snacking/whatever? I would be nervous, too!

On the other hand, I love mingling/small talk. I also love dorky things like theme parties/costume parties. I like the parties other people usually complain about!
