//////////////////////////////////////////////////

Að setjast að í Reykjavík er dýrt, stormasamt og afskekkt val. Nýir Íslendingar mæta skuldlausir við senuna og ómeðvitaðir um þær tryggðir og óskrifuðu reglur sem halda lítilli senu lítilli. Þeir setja á laggirnar fyrirtæki, listasamsteypur og ótal verkefni sem engum öðrum datt í hug, og brjóta í leiðinni reglur sem þeir vissu ekki einu sinni að væru til.

Á þessum viðburði fögnum við því sem nýir Íslendingar gera fyrir íslensku senuna og spyrjum hvers vegna litlar senur þurfi meira á utanaðkomandi fólki að halda en þær vilja endilega viðurkenna.

Búast má við einlægu, skemmtilegu og jafnvel örlítið óþægilegu spjalli, með tónlistaratriðum inn á milli og léttum veitingum til að halda stemningunni notalegri.

Játningakassinn: Hefur þú brotið óskrifaða reglu íslensku senunnar, eða rekist á reglu sem enginn varaði þig við? Eru einhverjar samfélagsvenjur sem koma þér spánskt fyrir sjónir? Settu það nafnlaust í Játningakassann við innganginn. Við lesum valdar játningar upphátt á viðburðinum. 

Viðburðurinn er opinn öllum, nýjum sem innfæddum!
