Happy Hour.
It’s Not a Cult.
It’s a Tradition.
We just happen to meet at the same time, in the same places, with mostly the same people, and the same rituals. Totally normal.
ROOFTOP EVENT:
Date: June 27th
Time: 5:00 PM (until someone says they’ve never seen The Office and then quotes Friends like it’s edgy)
Location: Coordinates: 51.0374° N, 114.0917° W (don’t act like that’s weird)
Welcome to the most unhinged happy hour of the summer.
What started as a simple Friday ritual for two of us - just drinks, intelligent conversation and solving the world's problems, has somehow mutated. It has now been fully taken over by the Manitoba Mafia (MM for short).This demands a full-blown annual event complete with a name, a theme, and at least one incident that lives on in group chat lore.We don’t know how we got here, but we’re not stopping now.This isn’t just a gathering. It’s a rite of passage. A high-heat, low-chill summit of spicy opinions, strong drinks, and questionable personal choice - all set against the backdrop of a too-hot rooftop and not enough napkins.
This year’s theme? Hot Takes & Cold Drinks
We’re dialing up the flavour and the emotional risk. You’ll cool down with frosty drinks, sweat through a few bites you definitely underestimated, and try not to scream when someone casually drops a take that ruins your night and possibly your friendship.Consider this your invitation to indulge in everything that’s petty, punchy, and perfectly unfiltered. We’ll be celebrating the sacred trifecta of carbs, cocktails, and chaos with just enough structure to pretend it’s under control.
What to Expect:
There will be food. You will overeat. Some of it will be cold and refreshing; some of it will try to kill you from the inside. We won’t tell you exactly what’s on the menu, but if you’ve been here before, you already know it involves bags of chips and poor impulse control. (Hints below)The drinks will be flowing, whether you’re sipping something fizzy, frozen, or suspiciously strong. And just when you think it’s safe to relax, someone’s take will be read aloud and the rest of us will judge accordingly.
🍴 The Menu (a.k.a. Regret You Can Eat)
We’ve curated a high-risk, high-reward menu designed to delight your taste buds and destroy your digestive system in equal measure. There’s heat. There’s chill. There’s cheese. There’s fruit doing things fruit probably shouldn’t.Here’s what you can expect:
🌶 The “Are You Crying or Just Sweating?” Section
Our signature spice-forward lineup. Includes returning favorites (you know who you are) and a few new entries designed to test your boundaries and your ability to pretend you’re fine.Expect:Crunchy things in bags.
Fiery bites that pretend to be friendly.
Vegetarian options that slap. (Yes, we said it.)
🧊 The “Cold, Sweet, and Here to Save You” Section
Just when you think you’ve made a terrible, saucy mistake—relief appears in the form of skewers, ice cream, and suspiciously innocent-looking popsicles.Expect:Refreshment on sticks.
Fruit behaving itself.
Frozen treats that double as emotional support.
🍸 The “I Shouldn’t Be Drinking This, But I Am” Beverage Program
Drinks will be served. They may or may not be balanced. Some may contain regret in liquid form. Others might sneak up on you mid-conversation.Expect:Fizzy things with passive aggressive garnishes.
Spiked options that make you bold.
Non-alcoholic options that are still cooler than you.
⚠️ Warning
The food is spicy. The drinks are strong. The opinions are unfiltered.We will not be held responsible for emotional fallout, passive-aggressive texts, or morning-after existential crises.This party may result in dehydration, dramatic readings of group chats, and someone yelling, "That’s not even a real opinion!" at 9:42 PM. If you’re lucky, you’ll leave with a full stomach, a few enemies, and at least one story you’ll never tell your coworkers.
Bring a Take. That’s Non-Negotiable.
This year, something new: The Hot Take Circle.
Think of it as a judgmental talent show for your most unnecessary opinions.
Here’s how it works:
Before the party, you’ll submit ONE hot take—a bold, ridiculous, or strangely correct opinion that deserves to be heard (or booed). It can be about food, pop culture, travel, music, daily habits, beverages, childhood trauma disguised as a personality trait. Whatever feels a little too honest for a work meeting is just the right tone.We’re talking stuff like:
“Cold pizza is better than hot pizza.”
“Camping is just being homeless for fun.”
“Brunch isn’t a social event—it’s group therapy with hollandaise.”
We’ll compile all takes anonymously and read them out loud in front of the group. You’ll watch your opinions come to life, spark heated debates, and possibly destroy lifelong friendships. It’ll be beautiful.And yes—there will be prizes.We’re handing out four awards in the following extremely prestigious categories:
🥵 Spiciest Take (the one that burned the room down)
🤷 Most Unpopular Opinion (we are deeply concerned)
🧠 “Wait… Are They Right?” (the sleeper truth bomb)
🎖️ Participation Trophy (for showing up and trying. Barely.)
To be considered for a prize—and eternal rooftop glory—you must submit your take in advance.
No "I’ll think of something later."
No "mine’s too weird."
No exceptions.
You’ve had opinions your whole life.
PICK ONE!
