Bimonthly Saturday Meetup in Barcelona (Big Meetup) October 2026

🚨🌍 THE BIG INTERNATIONAL MEETUP IS BACK — APPARENTLY 183 PEOPLE WASN'T ENOUGH 🌍🚨

Barcelona, we have a recurring problem. Every two months we organize our BIG International Meetup. And every two months, an unreasonable number of humans appear. Previous evidence: 🍻 183 internationals 🍻 154 internationals 🍻 175 internationals 🍻 148 internationals At this point, calling it a “Big Meetup” feels like calling IKEA a small furniture shop. This is no longer an event. It's immigration with background music. And on Saturday, October 3rd… We're doing it again. Because apparently we looked at 183 people and thought: “Hmm. Needs more people.” 📅 SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3RD ⏰ FROM 18:00 📍 SONORA SPORTS TAVERN ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🍺 18:00–19:00: CAPITALISM TEMPORARILY STOPS WORKING 🚨 FIRST 50 BEERS = €1 EACH Yes. ONE. EURO. Not €1 off. Not €1 plus seventeen mysterious Barcelona terrace supplements. €1. For a beer. In Barcelona. In 2026. We don't understand it either. Our economists have resigned. So arrive early. Because there are 50 beers... …and potentially 150+ thirsty internationals. You don't need a PhD in mathematics to understand where this is going. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 WHAT TO EXPECT Imagine putting 150+ people from around the world into one bar. Now remove everyone's ability to ask creative opening questions. The result: “WHERE ARE YOU FROM?” Approximately 6,847 times. 🇮🇹 “Italy.” “OMG I LOVE ITALY!” “Where did you go?” “…I've never been.” Perfect. Friendship established. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🧠 THE INTERNATIONAL MEETUP LIFE CYCLE 18:03 You arrive alone. Your brain: “This was a terrible idea.” 18:09 Someone: “Hey! Where are you from?” Your brain: “Protect this person at all costs.” 18:37 You've met 7 people. 19:42 You've met 23 people. 21:16 You're discussing childhood trauma with someone whose surname you don't know. 22:34 “WE SHOULD DEFINITELY TRAVEL TOGETHER!” You met this person four hours ago. Neither of you knows the other's last name. But apparently you're going to Croatia together. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🍻 THE FOUR BIGGEST LIES OF THE NIGHT #4: “I'm only staying for an hour.” 😂 #3: “I'm only having one drink.” HAHAHAHA. #2: “I'm definitely not dancing.” Please. And the undefeated world champion: 🥇 “LET'S DEFINITELY MEET AGAIN NEXT WEEK!” A beautiful international tradition. Usually followed by absolutely no communication for 73 days. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📱 THE WHATSAPP GROUP PHENOMENON At some point somebody will create: 🔥🌍 BARCELONA CRAZY FAMILY 2026 ❤️🍻🔥 Saturday: 127 messages Sunday: 348 messages Monday: “Guys anyone wants coffee?” Tuesday: Silence. Wednesday: Silence. Three months later: “Does anyone know a room available from October?” The circle of expat life is complete. 🦁 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💃 DANCING At some point, people may dance. There will be three categories: 💃 People who can actually dance 🕺 People who believe they can dance 🧍 People holding a beer and moving one shoulder All three groups are equally welcome. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ❤️ COMING ALONE? GOOD. Seriously. Coming alone is basically a cheat code. Because when you're with friends, you talk to your friends. When you're alone, your survival instincts activate: “Hello, random human. Please adopt me.” Twenty minutes later... You have friends. It's basically Tinder for friendship, except nobody needs to pretend they enjoy hiking. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 👀 WHO SHOULD COME? ✔ Just arrived in Barcelona? Come. ✔ Been here 8 years but still tell people you're “kind of new”? We respect the commitment. Come. ✔ Your friends cancelled? Excellent. Upgrade them. ✔ Your flatmate is your entire social life? We need to intervene. ✔ Your situationship said: “Sorryyy, crazy week, maybe another day ❤️” Oh, sweetheart. Come. ✔ Your therapist told you to socialize more? We cannot legally prescribe this event. But we're extremely confident your therapist did NOT mean: “Stay home and watch 94 Instagram Stories of other people having fun.” ✔ Introvert? Perfect. Arrive at 18:00. Stand awkwardly for…
