In an old episode of Frasier doing the rounds on the re-run circuit up at the higher end of the digital TV spectrum—somewhere between the first season of Mad About You and what seems to be the one episode of Everyone Loves Raymond on an apparently endless loop—there’s a moment where Frasier describes his experience speed dating as “basically all the stress and humiliation of a blind date… times twelve.”
Our friends at Time Out Melbourne are doing their darndest to mitigate these horrors by combining them with the wonder of printed media in a little thing that they call Magazine Speed Dating.
Actually they’re calling it an “indoor-magazine-picnic-date thingo” but it’s basically the same thing.
Due to be held at our Elizabeth Street store on Wednesday 16th May, take a look at Time Out’s site for more details on how to get involved. (They’ve had plenty of applications from the fairer sex, but there’s still room for plenty of men, so get involved fellas!)
