Group chats kill more trips than weather. A someday listing with one or two seats is built for a person who can decide. That can be you.
Apply as one
Say you are coming alone. Hosts can place you. Do not hide a plus-one in the last message. Do not ask the table to absorb your friend who “might come.”
The hour before
Pin the map. Tell someone not on the trip where you will be. Charge your phone. Arrive as a guest, not as a person who needs to be entertained every second.
In the room
You will be next to people who also wrote sentences. That is your opener. You can leave when it ends without a committee. Solo is not brave. Solo is how the listing was sized.
Pick a card on experiences and send the why before you recruit a squad.
