Event description

Come on an evening stroll and wind down your day with some cool people and fresh air. If you've been on a walk and talk you know that these are very relaxed events with zero pressure to "perform" or give your elevator speech. This is about really getting to know each other and just having a good time. No ties or heels.

This event meets at the Black Sun in Volunteer Park (the big donut-like sculpture across from the Asian Art Museum). We'll depart for our walk at 7:10pm, heading north so if you are late, run and catch up. Hear real tweets from birds! Talk face to face! Move your body and start the day with some new ideas and new friends.

Wear: comfortable shoes and clothes. Bring: a water bottle if you get thirsty. Phones: Please turn them off. The focus is on face-to-face connection and being aware of our surroundings, so please arrive unplugged. Parking The Google map is misleading: Google only marks the park entrance. Just drive into the park and you'll find plenty of parking spots in front of the Asian Art Museum.

Rain, sleet, snow or shine. Dog friendly event--if your dog is friendly!

If you don't find a Walk and Talk that fits your schedule or location, then host your own Walk and Talk! They are the easiest event to host. Ask me if you want some help getting started.

And if you haven't already, be sure to join the Walk and Talk Group so you'll be alerted to future WnT's and so you can post your own events via the group.

    D'oh! Between car repair and unexpected (but good) client meeting, I'll have to miss this walk. Sorry! Checking when the next KK one is :)
