Borrowed Blueprints: Curious Krewe - August 2026 Gathering

This is the Curious Krewe's main monthly gathering...the one built around a single honest question that we sit with together. It tends to go a little deeper than most conversations you'll have this week. People share real things here. That's what makes it worth showing up to. This month, we're getting curious about where our picture of the good life came from: "How much of your idea for a 'perfect' life is actually yours? How much is just a script you inherited?" Maybe your version has a house in it, a certain job, a timeline you were supposed to hit by now. Maybe it's quieter than that... a porch, enough money to stop worrying, people who stick around. Or maybe you've never really sat down and sorted out what you want from what you were supposed to want. Bring whatever you've got... a life you're sure of, one you're second guessing, or just a hunch that something in the picture was never really yours. We hold that space together through what we call the Curious Code: Respect beats being right … always Make room for fun … it helps us connect Listen first ... more than you talk Respond with curiosity … questions before comments Gather the good … share what you learned Here's how the evening flows: Doors open at 6:00 pm... plenty of time to grab food and a drink, find a seat, and settle in. At 6:30 pm we move into the discussion. You'll sit at a table with a small group... no more than six people... and together you'll explore the question of the evening. Everyone is welcome to share as much or as little as feels right. No pressure to perform or have it all figured out. Curious questions and honest listening are the whole game. We wrap up around 8 pm with a few closing words and a look ahead to the next gathering. Want to keep talking? Stay as long as you like. NEW LOCATION: NOLA Brewery Food? (Menu) Drink? (Menu) Judgment? Nope. Curious and honest people? Absolutely. This month's question was chosen by the community at our last gathering. Don't love it? You'll get a vote on next month's. Or better yet, send us a curious question you have that we could discuss! Let's be curious, together!
