hosted in spaces that care about their crowd.
spaces that originated in Rotterdam, and give every hangout its own character.
we started this because we missed it ourselves.
a city with so many people, and no easy way to meet them. not through bars where everyone already knows each other. not by forcing yourself in ‘diner with strangers’. not by swiping through ‘friendship apps’.
we wanted a space, where you just walk in, for the things you love, with people you’re hyped to meet.
an analogue ritual, every month.
the people behind it.
we’re julie & matthijs.
we believe the most extraordinary thing about obsession is that somewhere, someone shares it.
follow yours without apology, without restraint. and find the ones who understand.
hyped to meet you.

we'd love to share how we are building the spaces to bring people together and hopefully inspire others to do so too.
follow shared obsessions as it grows.
once a quarter, we share what we've built, what surprised us, and what's next. unsubscribe anytime via the link in every email. privacy policy
