We could flash messages to our new friends on Arad’s fabulous Lolita chandelier (pictured below) and were able to choose between three sittings of short chats: one for gay and straight people (called the ‘potluck’ round!), one exclusively for straight people and one for gay. My friend and I opted for the mixed extravaganza at the beginning!
So did I unearth the future Mr Slant? No, but the Barbican’s events are well worth checking out – ideal for a fun and alternative evening out with others who are becoming tired of the traditional pub and pint combination.

This is a great idea of making events like this more successful by interest or hobby. I've recently been to something similar when I was speed dating in London and I would think that it was more successful than just a standard event. Great idea!
