Part II · The feel

How it feels

The details organizers don't always put in the description — pulled from the room, the crowd, and what people remember afterward.

The room

Dim and seated throughout. Intimate, slow-paced.

Unpredictable volumeSeated throughoutLow light

The crowd

Easy to come alone. A little clapping, maybe a question answered — nothing that puts you on the spot.
