Swig presents Pigtails
House Party with DJ Pigtails
The living room furniture has been pushed to the walls, transforming the space into an impromptu dance floor. String lights crisscross the ceiling, casting a warm amber glow that pulses in time with the bass. In the corner, DJ Pigtails commands the room from behind a modest setup of turntables and a laptop, their signature twin braids bouncing as they nod along to the beat.
DJ Pigtails reads the room expertly, switching tempos when the energy dips, throwing in unexpected remixes of crowd favorites. Those iconic pigtails have become like pendulums marking time with the rhythm. When they scratch the record and build into a drop, the whole house seems to shake with the collective jump of the crowd.
It's that perfect sweet spot of the night—late enough that inhibitions have loosened, early enough that everyone's still going strong.

The Hiwatters
Grumpy Singles Night: Surf Rock & Bossa Nova Edition
Tired of forced smiles and fake enthusiasm? So are we. Join us for an evening where cynicism meets romance, set to the swaying rhythms of bossa nova and the reverb-drenched twang of surf rock.
This isn't your typical singles mixer with icebreaker games and name tags. Instead, we're offering a refuge for the romantically jaded, the perpetually unimpressed, and anyone who'd rather bond over shared disdain than pretend to be perky. Complain about your last relationship. Roll your eyes at the band. Judge the other attendees. Whatever helps.
The soundtrack? Classic surf instrumentals that sound like the beach on a moody day, paired with sultry bossa nova that's too cool to care. Think Dick Dale meets João Gilberto—equal parts sunshine and shade.
Come alone. Stay grumpy. Leave with someone who gets it (or don't—we won't judge).
Dress code: Whatever. We're not your mom.
Attitude: Required.
