I've already looked at one and I wasn't happy with it.

Now I'm going to look at another.

As soon as I like the location, it's done.

First thing I'll start doing is messaging people directly who I think might want to come to it.

So that's the very first thing I'll do.

So I'll try to get like four or five people with direct messaging to like soft commit to coming to it.

So that like, let's say the place is going to cost me like $12,000 to rent.

And then the tickets are $5,000.

If like two or three people say yes to me, then I'm like, fuck it, I'm doing it now.

At least I know I won't lose money because this location I have to buy our rent.

So that's the first thing for me is that I'll just...

choose a date so that I lock it in my mind, choose a location, then I start messaging people.

And by the way, sometimes these are people I know.

Just to give you an example, a guy who I was doing a project with two weeks ago, a guy who runs this company called Pipdex,

I asked him if he'll come... Would you come to this?

And he was like, yeah, I would love... I want to come to that.

So I'm asking people I know as well if they want to come to these things, if it's somewhat related.

And then...

Once that's done, it's just one foot in front of the other.

The cool thing is with in-person events is you have a clear target.
