Gwinnett’s Got Social?

The Gwinnett Loop Social Club: Zero Filters, Full Volume.

This isn’t your grandma’s social club.

No boring mixers. No awkward icebreakers. Just unforgettable nights, inside jokes, and stories you’ll still be telling at brunch. Picture this(some of our event ideas)…

🌌 Constellation Conversations Night Hike
Step off the pavement and into the stars. A guided night hike where the sky becomes your ceiling and stories become your compass. You’ll learn the constellations, swap tales around a lantern glow, and maybe even spot a shooting star. It’s part astronomy, part campfire soul talk.

🌲 Silent Forest Walk + Journaling
No phones. No small talk. Just you, the hush of the woods, and a notebook waiting to catch your thoughts. A mindfulness guide will lead you through a quiet walk where every crunch of a leaf feels louder and every breath feels deeper. We end by writing down what surfaced—a reset button for your brain.

🪁 LED Kite Festival
Imagine the night sky dotted with glowing, neon kites you helped design. Music drifts through the air, families and friends laugh in the field, and your creation dances among the stars. It’s art, play, and spectacle all in one—a festival where you look up for once.

🕵️ Live-Action Clue Night
Was it Marlene or Tracy in the library with the candlestick? Or maybe… you? Step into a mansion-style setting, where every guest is a suspect and every hallway hides a clue. Teams race to solve the mystery while enjoying themed cocktails and bites. It’s part party, part theater, part detective work.

⏳ Time Traveler’s Social
One signup. One era. Zero excuses. You might get assigned the roaring ‘20s, the groovy ‘70s, or even Victorian London. Then, you show up fully in character—costumes, slang, and all. By the end of the night, you’ll have crossed centuries and swapped stories with “locals” from every decade.

🥂 Speakeasy Night
A whispered password. A door that doesn’t look like a door. And on the other side? Jazz, low lighting, and the feeling that you’ve just slipped into a secret. Cocktails served in coupe glasses, music that hums in your chest, and the thrill of being “in on it.” Gwinnett gets prohibition-era chic—for one night only.

It’s where Gwinnett’s sharpest, quirkiest, and most adventurous locals come to trade small talk for big experiences. One month you’re stargazing on a night hike, the next you’re flying glowing kites, solving a murder mystery, or sneaking into a speakeasy with a password at the door.

💺The Couch Potato

🎥 Weekend Watchlist: No Skips Allowed

Your queue deserves better than background noise. These four picks bring newsroom meltdowns, FBI gray areas, goth deadpan, and spies who drink more than they save.

Call it prestige, call it pulp—but don’t call it filler. Whether you’re hiding from chores, pretending emails don’t exist, or settling in for a full-on couch residency, this lineup isn’t background TV. It’s the main event.

From copy-room chaos to espionage disasters, this week’s screen time comes with teeth.

🍽 Good Eats: Fire & Seoul in Duluth

“Southern BBQ Meets Korean Fire”—No, Really.

Duluth just got a culinary juju boost with Fire & Seoul, a Korean BBQ spot that flips the script on “tabletop grilling.” Here, meats don’t hit your table—they’re charred over 🔥hip and open wood-fire pits run by chefs behind the scene. So you get all the smoky, sticky goodness without smelling like a campfire disaster.

Don’t skip their Gochujang Honey Ribs, braised short ribs, or the customizable jjim stew—order your spice level and watch it glow. It’s Korean comfort food, elevated and unapologetic.

📍 Location: Duluth, GA (check their site for exact address)
⏰ Hours: Dinner service (typical nights)
