Allegra’s Cosmic Birthday Dancing Potluck House Party ~ Hosted by Sobremesa

So here’s what is going down:

Allegra is turning 24 on February 19th. 

We are celebrating on Saturday, February 22nd beginning at 6:30pm. 

The party will be in Allegra’s backyard on Miami Beach (address upon RSVP). 

 

From 6:30 – 7:30pm Allegra will lead us through her signature Jellyfish Jam. 

This is a guided dance party where we start slow and build to something pretty sweaty, really fun, and surprisingly transcendental. Come on time so that we can share the magic of the dancing~even if you think you can’t dance and the idea of dancing in front of others is terrifying to you. It is led in a way that gets us comfortably out of our comfort zone so that we can move away from our burdens and jump into the arms of joy. 

 

If you can’t make it to the Jellyfish Jam, join us for the second part of the night:

The Potluck

Your presence is a present~However, don’t come empty-handed.

As you may know, Sobremesa is a dancing supper club of love. 

Usually, we create the meal and serve it. This time WE WANT YOU.

Inspired by Mixtape Potluck, a cookbook by Quest Love, this Potluck is a chance for all of us to bring our best to the table. 

Take the time to make something that will fill us all with love. 

Ask your Abuela for her Flan recipe~or better yet, have her teach you to make it. Experiment with a recipe you’ve always wondered about but been too scared to try. 

 

You can get fancy like this, or keep it midwestern pinterest mom like that. 

You can go to the market and let your heart lead you to the ingredients, and invent something the world has never seen before.

If you need recipe suggestions, reach out, and we’ll share some of Sobremesa’s tried and true.

 

Make what you would want to eat~together we can make it fun for meat-eaters, vegetarians, and celiacs alike. 

We need appetizers, main dishes, and duh duh duh desserts. 

 

If you truly don’t trust yoursef in the kitchen, and the idea of bringing something to this potluck sounds like torture...then bring something else! Champagne, seltzer and ice, or even a great skill.

 

Other things you could bring/offer that are just as important as food:

-Want to be the DJ?

-Want to be the event photographer?

-Want to put on a short magic show?

-Want to draw live caricatures?

We’re open to ideas, and we want everyone to share and shine and enjoy.

 

{We’re avoiding bringing things like Stacy’s Pita Chips with Sabra Hummus and Entennman’s Pound Cake. Nothing wrong with them, but we want to play and create with our hearts and our hands and share our finished products with the group! Who knows, maybe your improvised Spinach salad will be a hit, and you’ll end up opening your own Spinach Salad spot in Cancun.}

Get outside your comfort zone, do it with love, learn from whatever happens, and share your findings!

Everyone is invited to this party~let us know who you would like to bring and what you are going to bring.

 

LAST BUT NOT LEAST.

We are aiming for a waste-free event.

This means no food will be wasted (bring your tupperware babies)

This means we won’t be using cups/plates/tablecloths/decorations/silverware that will be thrown away at the end of the night.

Bring your own cups, silverware, and plates.

Avoid bringing your potluck offerings in single-use containers made from plastic/aluminum/ec.

We will dine off of real plates with real forks and knives like fancy people, so make sure you bring yours and we promise it won’t be lost. 

 

Again, reach out with any questions, comments, concerns, or professions of love.

See you on February 22nd!
