The Secret Society of Adultologists
Love hurts. Love heals. Love bites.
Save the date! On Friday, February 13, 2026, join the Secret Society of Adultologists for a wickedly fun night as we sink our teeth into the wild side of romance, attraction, and survival. This after-hours, 21+ event will take you through the seductive science of mating rituals, venomous lovers, and heartbreak in the animal kingdom.
Whether you’re lovestruck, love-shy, or love-scorned, this cheeky pre-Valentine’s bash has something for you. Dress to impress—or to distress—and toast (or roast) the season of affection with your fellow curious creatures.
Friday, February 13, 2026, 7-11 PM
