Field notes
The page defines the gathering through a compact set of operating rules rather than a formal program: approximately 70 guests, a 5:30–8:30 PM window, no dress code, and no pitching. Each person RSVPs individually through Luma, receives one drink paid for by James, and is expected to manage the second round themselves. The current listing places the event at Mort Subite in Austin and identifies startups, AI agents, and SMBs as likely conversation territory.
