This is a club, but a different one. We decided to create a place where people are not going to be anonymous anymore.
You, my friend, are secretly dreaming of being famous one day, and to be recognized by everyone. But being a celebrity is not for everyone. Look at our celebrities. Their whole life they are striving to be popular, and when they reach their so desired fame they put on the dark glasses and try to hide away.
Isn’t it better for you, even before you become a celebrity to join our club and to figure out whether you are suited for fame? If you like it, stay. If you don’t feel like it, you can leave anytime you want and go join some ordinary club, with members that have no names and faces. You will go there, where the people are colorful and vibrant shadows that are joyful to the eye, but they exist only in that moment, after that, they dissolve in the eternity and disappear without a trace in the infinite anonymity of the big city.
Anonymity is something good and comfortable, especially if you are a professional scammer or a serial killer. For us, ordinary people, anonymity is more likely than not a burden and that is why we prefer to chat online, and not to roam like shadows around various bars and night clubs. Online you have something very precious; on the Internet you have a name. This name can be something very simple like a silly nickname, but it is not important whether the name is real or fake, the important thing is that it identifies you and lets you connect with the people that you can communicate with.
Anyway, there is something that the Internet communication lacks. There is no real-life contact online. When someone sends you an email, full of beautiful words, you don’t know whether they were written by that individual or they were just copy/pasted from some site. You cannot be sure whether that letter was sent only to you or to hundreds, or maybe thousands of other people. Again, in old times people were flirting with letters, but then the letters were handwritten on paper with a duck feather, and you should just try writing with a duck feather, there is no way you will write a thousand letters. Sad, but true the new technologies made the communication much simpler, but along with that they devaluated it. Today a thousand emails are much less than just one letter handwritten with a duck feather.
So the question is how we can connect the positive sides of the online communication with the live contact. The answer is one, and is it simple- join the “Everybody Knows Your Name” Club. Our main idea is to make you feel just like you are visiting a friend, who is having a birthday party. The Birthday-girl role is played by one of our people, who we will call the Hostess. She is a key and important figure who decides who is invited and who is not. The hostess has tremendous power, but her only duty is to entertain you and to make you feel good. You, on the other hand, are obliged to get to know her, because it is extremely rude to be on a party and not know the host.

In order to get to know the hostess, you have to do one thing – to tell her your name. After that she will introduce you to all the other guests. Of course this system is set only for small parties with no more than ten guests. When there is a constant flow of new guests it will be very annoying for the hostess to introduce every newcomer, and how are you supposed to remember them all. During science conferences people use a completely different system. There everyone puts a nametag on and when you feel like knowing who that dude is, that you think you know somehow, you just go right next to him, stare at the nametag and read the name. Of course he will understand that you are interested in his persona, and you both have to have a little meaningless conversation, in order to prove your interest valid. With the dude somehow you will deal, but what are you going to do if it is a sexy chick, who is as cool as it gets, and you feel afraid to get near her, not even talking about staring at her chest in order to see her name. The problem that most guys have is even if they are brave enough to take a look at the chick’s chest they never get to reading the name.
Our solution is different. There is no master of ceremonies who is announcing the names of the newcomers; neither are we going to decorate ourselves with badges like some old professor dudes. With us you just share your name with the hostess and she registers you. This takes just a second… click… and it does not hurt at all. If you think that today is not a good hair-day, we can share a pic of you taken from the Internet and use it. Anyway, this picture is mainly for the people already in the club, so that they can connect your name to your face.
Inside the club there is a screen, on which you can see the names and pictures of all the people that are present. Of course, there you will find your name along with your face too.
After you register you will get a number. Next time you come to the club, there will be no need to register with a name and photo again. It will be enough only to tell us your number and that will be it. And because it happens, if you have forgotten your number, you tell us your name and we can find your registration with it. If you can’t even remember your name, we can find you by your picture.
If you like you can add to your registration additional information. For example you can give a Facebook profile link. Then if someone is interested in you, they can message you on Facebook or flip through your photos from the beach uploaded there. It is great for two people to get to know each other before meeting. That is much better than to go back to your apartment, get your clothes off, and then figure out that you don’t like each other.
