Hosting my first Ohours
garychou:
I held my first Ohours last Friday.

Thanks to everyone who came out—as someone relatively new to NYC, I genuinely enjoyed...

I’m a big fan of the 20 minute Ohours slots, but you have to be well...
Go Meet Someone New (in CA): Issue #2
After over 100 Ohours in NYC, our friend out in CA are starting to catch on and are hosting Ohours themselves.
