we started this because we missed it ourselves.
a city full of interesting people, and no good way to meet them. not through bars where everyone already knows each other. not through exclusive clubs. not through ‘friendship’ apps.
we wanted a room full of people where showing up alone is completely normal. and where the shared interest does the work.
because real connections start with shared obsessions. and we're here to make sure you find yours.
hosted in spaces that care about their crowd.
the people behind it.
we’re julie & matthijs. we believe the most extraordinary thing about obsession is that somewhere, someone shares it.
so follow yours without apology, without restraint. and let’s find the ones who understand.
hyped to meet you.
find familiar faces.
get notified about upcoming hangouts and new obsessions. just the next edition, when it's ready.
