The Bernard Shaw is hosting its Tinder Party again next Saturday Feb 13th. Love Me Tinder is a free event where everyone will be on their phones, pretending not to look at someone across the smoking area, self-consciously dancing to the DJs (Hannah & Craig from District Magazine) because their crush is watching and trying not to eat pizza like a boar in front of said crush. There is also a “Shiftin’ corner”.
After Call Super last week, Out to Lunch next’s Tengu event to be announced is a two-room double header with Young Marco + Intergalactic Gary on March 16th. I’d go to hear ‘Love in Bahia’ alone.
