Why I Started Starrlight

I didn't start Starrlight with a big plan in mind.

It started as a slow realization.

Plans would get cancelled or moved. A close friend found a job in a new city. Someone got married or had a child and suddenly dinner plans and weekend meet ups become sporadic phone calls. Going out on the weekend became more of a chore than a good time.

And in the end, you are left wondering when did I become so lonely.

I missed sitting and laughing with my friends at a table for hours.

I missed meeting new people and feeling like I would actually see them again.

I missed having real moments with people rather than random bathroom conversations that are great instagram moments but nothing else.

So last year I had a dinner. I brought my friends together for a night without our phones, where we ate meals, talked about things that were real, and actually left the night feeling like it was good.

So I'm doing more of that.

Starrlight Social Club is not meant to be complicated. It's not meant to be intense or pretentious. It's just me inviting you to come hang out, eat some good food, talk, and hopefully leave the night feeling a little more connected and a little less lonely.

And who knows. Maybe it will be the place you're able to find your people.
