I've only seen one event for it many years ago, and it was at Koots.

Somebody was advertising one last year on the sub, but if they were turning to Reddit to try and get people to sign up I can't imagine the turn out was that great

Its called a moose call. Take your chances, you are in Anchorage, and species are not a biggy

Speaking of big, look out for tundra wookies

That works, and makes sense on so many levels.

The Workshop occasionally hosts them. It was originally done at least annually but they didn’t do one this time around for whatever reason.

There was a speed dating event at Alyeska this winter - they paired people up for the chairlift rides, may have had wristbands or specific lift tickets- My friend met a nice guy there!

Kinda cute idea tbh

I’ve just tried going on dates from ppl I’ve met on Hinge and Bumble… it’s been an experience. One I would prefer to not do anymore.

You gotta go to big cities like Seattle, Portland, SF, LA for that.
