About us
Looking to make new friends? Yeah, us too! It's tricky to meet new friends in a new town, or when life changes. We’ve done meetups and generally like them, but when they're focused on a topic or activity, we find we don't make enduring relationships there. So that's the purpose of this one. No topics, or agendas, just meeting and enjoying each other's company.
We'll meet at a happy hour, do co-working sessions, or just get Saturday morning coffee. We've also done small side excursions for cross-country skiing and ice skating, whatever people want to do!
Since the goal is friendship, you don't need to worry about showing up alone and not having anyone to talk to. We’ll welcome you in and make sure you're a part of the conversation. But you'll probably find a friendly face before you even get to us. :)
You’ll also notice a donation option at the bottom. We recently added that to help cover the fees we pay. Anything left over will be distributed to hosts to pay for their time in setting things up. If you get something out of these events, please consider it, but this is 100% optional!

Karaoke Bingo (free to sing & play!)
Rumours Karaoke Cafe, 450 E 17th ,, Denver, CO, USWhether you're a karaoke addict, an amateur shower singer, or prefer to stay out of the limelight, come out for a Karaoke Bingo experience that's fun for the loudest and quietest among us.
Grab a name tag to make new friends, and a bingo sheet to follow along with karaoke performances for a chance to spin the wheel and score free drinks and prizes. You'll mark off bingo squares based on the evening's performances - no singing required if that's not your thing.
Head down the long hallway to the back room from 6-7pm for a pre-karaoke social hour where you can grab a drink, some dinner, and mingle before the singing starts. Karaoke signups begin at 6:45 for a 7pm bingo start time.
This event at Rumours Karaoke Cafe is free to attend, free to sing, and free to play - so you can save your hard-earned cash for refreshing drinks and tasty food!
Show up solo or bring your whole crew - all the seating is communal (meetup-style) so we'll make sure you find somewhere to sit and people to enjoy the evening with. If you see an open seat, feel free to rotate to other tables throughout the event.
After Karaoke Bingo, everyone is welcome to keep hanging in the back room where regular karaoke will continue.
