Make New Friends-The Buddy System- A Speed Friending Social

BUDDY SYSTEM: SPEED FRIENDING 🎤👟

Your next best friend probably isn’t going to show up in your apartment—so come meet them.

Welcome to The Buddy System: Think speed dating, but for friendship.

Making friends as an adult can be hard—especially when you’re looking for connection that feels intentional, culturally familiar, and not centered around alcohol.

This Hip Hop-inspired, interactive speed-friending experience brings together People of Color and those who value community, meaningful conversation, and genuine connection in a fun, low-pressure environment.

Pull up, link up, and meet new people through the sounds, style, and culture of Hip Hop. Through curated games, thought-provoking prompts, and interactive activities, you’ll move beyond surface-level conversation and discover shared perspectives, values, communication styles, and connections that feel natural.

🎶 THE VIBE: Bring your BEST Hip Hop + sneakerhead aesthetic. Think fresh kicks, throwback vibes, streetwear, and your own personal take on the culture.

🍹 Your ticket includes: One complimentary drink ticket for a handcrafted mocktail. Additional mocktails, select non-alcoholic beers, and other refreshments will be available for purchase.

💡 PLUS: A chance to WIN an MF DOOM light!

🎁 Each participant will also leave with a goodie bag and have opportunities to win additional prizes throughout the event.

Come solo, bring an open mind, and leave with new conversations, new connections, and maybe even your future BFF.

Friendship starts with showing up.
