The experience economy has become big business. Companies like Red Letter Days and Virgin Experiences will happily sell you anything from adrenaline filled weekend breaks to cookery lessons to pampering spa days.
At the other end of the scale, small companies and passionate individuals (often supported by sites like Ooh.com) are laying on interesting events and activities based on their own expertise and interests.
Which can lead to some pretty cool, fun, bizarre, original, esoteric, creative, funky stuff.
Case in point, Chaos Thaoghaire (pronounced like theory) is described as ‘a night of games, storytelling, posturing, judge-bribing, one-upmanship and cursing’.
Each monthly event is based on a different theme and features personal tales from invited guests mixed in with team games.
“It’s as if the Golden Girls were running a bingo night in a mental asylum where everybody had the wrong medication.”
The first sell-out event took place in October 2009 and the nights have quickly become, as one commentator describes, ‘the Studio 54 of the good-looking Dublin arts & letters scene’.
If you can build a successful event around something like storytelling and parlour games, how could you put a little creativity to use in producing a fun event around your own passions?
