🌽✨ MIDWEST MINGLE: LA EDITION ✨🌴
📍 September 13th, 2025 | 7:00 PM – Late📍 WEARY LIVERS Bar, 2819 Pico Blvd, Santa Monica
🚗 Calling all cheese-curd lovers, deep-dish defenders, lake-effect survivors, and Midwest-nice transplants now basking in the California sun!
🌞 Whether you’ve been in LA for decades or just traded snow boots for flip-flops last week, this night’s for you. 🥂
For one night only, let’s turn the West Coast into the Best Coast — Midwest style. Mix, mingle, and laugh about how nobody here knows what “hot dish” is, why “ope” is a whole language, or how much you still crave Culver’s and a proper tailgate. 🍺🏈
🌽 Come if you’re:
A Chicagoan missing your lakefront walks and real deep dish
From St. Louis and still debating “Provel vs. Mozzarella”
A proud Minnesotan who will always say “uff da” unironically
From Milwaukee or KC and know good beer when you taste it
Or just a Midwesterner at heart who knows the magic of Midwest nice ✨
💃 Expect a night full of Midwest charm, bar games with a heartland twist, and cocktails strong enough to rival a Wisconsin Old Fashioned. 🥃
🕺 Dress to impress like you’re heading out for a night in Chicago’s West Loop or Minneapolis’ North Loop — but yes, we’ll allow sneakers and flannels.
Don’t be shy — RSVP, bring your best “ope, let me squeeze past ya,” and come find your Midwest-to-LA fam. Because no matter how far west we go, we’ll always carry that Midwest heart. 😉
