It's our 11th anniversary and the parents are away, so we're throwing a party.

Whether you were at the first living room class with a professor in 2015 or this is your first time hearing about our community, we want to celebrate 11 years of Olio with you.

We're playfully leaning back into the joy and wonder of the dial-up era (this is what happens when you let 5 millennials plan a party).

What to expect:

7:30pm: Upon arrival we match you with a group of friends based on our secret witchery, i.e., whoever we think you should meet after a 1-minute conversation

8pm: You sit with your new friends and discuss a couple of curated prompts related to the dial-up era

9-11pm: DJ SASA plays '90s and early 2000s hits and we dance our asses off

Take dance breaks to bedazzle, yo-yo, and make art (remember that rainbow scratch-off paper?!)
Pop-Tarts, pizza bites, and childhood cereals fuel our energy throughout the night

12-1am: We'll wind down with tea and stretches and ambient music because we love our bodies

Attire:

Dress how you dressed when you were 11. Or how you wish you dressed!

What is Think Olio?

Think Olio is an ongoing experiment in lifelong learning. We are a community of open-minded people who gather to exchange ideas with new friends and connect over art, literature, and philosophy.

An Olio is what we call the social learning events we’ve been organizing since 2015. A blend between a lecture and a house party, Olios are led by a teacher who loves sharing their passions and the room is filled with curious, open-minded New Yorkers.

Six months into creating a venue, one of our favorite feelings has been the moments where we’ve stepped outside of time. We’ve created a space where conversations don’t feel rushed, people are greeted with hugs, and as a community, we spontaneously come up with new ideas (like the dial-up-disco house party) and bring them to life.

Our goal is to spark new perspectives, ignite curiosity, and enjoy ourselves socially—an alternative to typical nightlife options.
