What is This?

Not a TED Talk. Not a frat party. Not quite a revolution.

Saturday Salon is:
  • • Dueling lectures and open forums
  • • Moderated mischief and civil disagreement
  • • Political neutrality, smart attire, and no extremists
Q: Is it invite-only?

Yes. Be interesting or bring someone who is.

Q: What should I bring?

A question. A take. Wine if you're generous. Stories if you're not.

Q: What's the format?

Dueling lectures (15-20 minutes each), followed by Q&A and open discussion. Think living room conversation meets academic conference meets comedy club.

Q: Who attends?

Smart people, strange people, your future podcast guests. These are the people your econ professor warned you about.

Q: What's the dress code?

Dress smart. Speak smarter. No extremists, no boring people.

Q: Can I speak?

Got a theory, a thesis, or a deeply researched conspiracy? We'll only roast you if it's bad.

Q: How do I get invited?

Be interesting. Know someone interesting. Have something valuable to contribute to intellectual discourse. Or just email Schuyler and make your case.

The Code
We believe in:
  • • Intellectual vulnerability
  • • Honest disagreement
  • • Moderated wine intake
  • • Being late, but not too late
“Be vulnerable. Ask hard questions. Pet the dog.”
