Yes, we took it offline!

In the aftermath of Stack Natin's first ever offline event, a few quick thoughts.

Just a quick note on a Sunday to say thank you to everyone who made it to the first Stack Natin Hangout yesterday (30 May)!

Those two hours flew by—and I’m sure the conversations continued after we all left the café. And there were a lot of conversations. Philosophy, self-publishing, parasocial relationships… it’s like we’re not supposedly introverts or something.

I shouldn’t have been nervous about this, the first ever offline event for the Stack Natin community. This idea was bouncing around my head the moment the publication was launched. But the thing actually happening makes it even more real. Now that we’ve breached the line between, well, online and offline, who knows what could happen next?

Anyway, a special thanks to France Pinzon • lit speck who raffled off a copy of her first novel Intrinsic and to A.M. Rodriguez who sent over some of her own merch. An especially big thanks to Slightly Lost and the team at Bad Café in Makati for being such gracious hosts (and for the really good coffee).

And if you weren’t able to come, first, wish you were there—and second, there will be more of these hangouts. Details coming soon!
