HOT MESS: A Storytelling Open Mic & Social Experiment

⏰ Time: 3:30 PM - 7:00 PM
📍 Location: Studious Coworking, 418 Bamboo Ln. A, Los Angeles, California

LA can be a lonely place. So we thought—why not put everyone in a room, skip the small talk, and give you a real chance to connect? HOT MESS isn’t just a storytelling open mic. It’s a social experiment in laughter, vulnerability, and human connection.

🎤 The Stories: Five people will have the chance to take the mic and share a true story about life’s unexpected disasters. Want to tell a story? Just hit “Interested in telling a story” at checkout, or let us know when you check in at the event!

🤝 The Social Experiment: Before the mic opens, we’re kicking things off with Speed Friending & Active Listening—a fast-paced, fun way to swap mini-stories, break the ice, and get past the “So, what do you do?” conversation loop. No pressure, just real talk and new connections.

Did your perfectly planned dinner party end in flames — literally? Maybe you texted the wrong person at the worst possible time. Or perhaps your grand romantic gesture turned into an epic fail. Whatever it is, we want to hear it.

✨ Come for the chaos. Stay for the stories. Leave with new friends.
