Astoria Creatives Meetup Celebrates Two Year Anniversary at Astoria Coffee!

Two years ago, local go-getters Emily Miethner and Nick Hoefly teamed up to organize the Astoria Creatives Meetup, a fun and casual opportunity for creative people to meet, network, and have a great time. Tonight, they’re celebrating their two year anniversary with a party at Astoria Coffee!

I’ve been able to attend a few of these laid-back events, and they’re always an awesome time. It’s not your typical intimidating networking event: everyone is welcoming, friendly, and has an interesting story to tell. I work in television, but I had the chance to meet folks who work in theatre, talk radio, music, and publishing, among countless other industries. And no one takes themselves too seriously: you’ll be asked to fill out and wear a name tag with your name and something you love. People will write everything from “Star Wars” to “iced coffee.” I’m pretty sure I even saw someone write “name tags,” so no need to overthink it. (I usually write “craft beer!”)

Enjoy meeting the coolest creative folks in the neighborhood!
