Meet Nibz.

A little gremlin who’s been part of The Dysfunctional Clubhouse for a while. His obsession with organizing things and introducing people got a bit bigger than one small group.

So he brought his clipboard to the whole neighborhood. Kept the hoodie, obviously.

NIBZ’S FIELD NOTES

Find your speed. A tiny table and a room full of strangers are very different evenings.

Resident gremlin. Clipboard enthusiast.

spooky season.

Horror, goth nights and Halloween happenings. One seasonal corner of a year-round local guide.

YOUR PEOPLE ARE HERE ALL YEAR.

A SMALL REQUEST

Know a thing
we don’t?

A basement film club. A tiny Discord. A board-game table with an empty chair.

WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT?

There’s a chat
for that.

Discord is a free chat app — group texting, basically, split into channels by topic. If you’ve never used it, it can feel like a lot at first; you don’t need to figure out the whole thing, just say hi somewhere.

Heads up: this is the same Discord that runs The Dysfunctional Clubhouse. Everyone’s welcome to just talk about local stuff there too — you’re not signing up for anything by clicking through.

We don’t care who gets the RSVP. We care that you find your people.

WHERE THIS STARTED

A small group.
A much bigger neighborhood.

We’ve run The Dysfunctional Clubhouse for about eight years, and somewhere along the way realized how many interesting events, groups, and weird little communities are around us that most people never hear about — that’s where this guide came from. The Clubhouse is based in Elon; the guide belongs to the wider Alamance, Triad and Triangle scene. Browse the whole neighborhood, whether or not you ever come to one of our events.

Clubhouse home events have limited room. RSVP and wait for host confirmation; ask before adding guests. A listing is not an open invitation to drop by.

HOUSE RULE NO. 01

More communities.
Fewer gatekeepers.

Public sources make a listing possible; they don’t establish a relationship. Partnership, endorsement, private Discord access and reciprocal promotion are organizer-confirmed. Organizers keep their own RSVPs.
