About GOAT Salon

*GOAT Salons are intimate evening talks where a special guest is interviewed for a bit and then we all have a spirited discussion.

Each salon features a special guest who will talk about something they are working on – a book, music composition, video piece, online project – or just a provocative topic they have an opinion about. Most importantly, we want you to ask questions and chime in, salon-style. It’ll be thought-provoking, funny, and yes, there will be adult beverages.

We charge you money because space is limited and charging $10 keeps people from grabbing a seat and then flaking. Also, to buy beer and snacks. We don’t have VC money.

*Greatest of All Time. Also, we love goats.
