[Editor's note: This is actually my event, so the Pop's folks let me write the blurb. Please enjoy...]
Sooo, what’s “Berlin-style ping pong night” mean anyway? Well it’s three things…
- It happens in the evening, in a dark, friendly neighborhood bar, where the booze is flowing and the party vibes are strong
- There are DJs spinning upbeat danceable jams, both familiar and unfamiliar
- The ping pong is a little different, played in a social and casual and kinda trippy way that allows 20+ people to take part
Here’s an animated GIF of that last one:
Tonight will be just like that except there’s a lot less room at Pop’s, so the circle is much tighter — and thus it’s much easier to make new friends
Check out this week’s entertainment line up at Pops Bar:
4/4/16 MONDAY
American Tripps: Berlin-Style Ping Pong Night
