EVENT DETAILS
The event will be held at Stoup Brewing Capitol Hill (formerly Optimism Brewing Company) at 1158 Broadway Ave, Seattle WA 89122. This is the same location as our last event, but was recently purchased by a new brewery. Check-in and mingling time open at 5 pm and everyone MUST BE THERE by 6 pm so we can generate dating schedules. Dating will start around 6:30 and wrap up around 8:30. We need to be cleaned up and out of the space by 9 pm. WE ARE NOT ACCPEPTING WALK IN REGISTRATIONS, so please watch this site for registration to open and be sure to register in advance.
COST
Admission will be $15 payable in CASH at the door. (We won’t be taking payment in advance). Be sure to bring cash because we won’t have any way to take credit or debit card payments. As always, no one will be turned away if they aren’t able to pay. Please email Stella at seattlepsd at gmail.com after you register so we can put a note on your registration.
GETTING THERE
There is limited on-street parking in the area and several parking garages. There is a map of parking garages and public transit info on the Stoup Brewing website. (scroll down to find parking/transit info)
FOOD AND DRINK
There will be beer and cider available for purchase (the venue is card only so be sure to bring cash for admission AND a card for drinks). There will also be pizza available for $5.00 a slice, cash and you can also bring in your own food. There MAY be a food truck out front where you can buy food, but if the line is long you won’t have enough time during your break to get food and eat it, and you don’t want to stand up your date, so please don’t plan on the food truck for food. You are also welcome to bring food from the outside if you’d like.
WHAT IS POLY SPEED DATING?
Speed Dating in general is a social event where people meet a number of potential dating partners. During the evening you will rotate though several “dates” of about 5 minutes each. After each date you check off whether or not you are interested in romantically pursuing that person any further. Your choices are collected at the end of the night and if you and your date both were interested, your information will be exchanged via email within the next few days.
The Poly version of speed dating is done in a flexible way in order to accommodate people of vastly different interests. For example, using our system we ensure that people are matched with dates who are open to their expressed gender. We balance out dates so bisexuals get a mix of genders on their dates. And so forth.
This is done by having people pre-register, filling out a form asking them basic questions about what they are looking for. Then, at the event, we check off who is there and dynamically schedule the dates in real-time. Then we are off to the races!
