This isn’t an event announcement — just curiosity.

I’ve been spending a lot of time reading and researching Tudor history lately, and I realized I’d love to have a few people to actually talk about it with. Nothing academic or formal — more like relaxed conversations over drinks or coffee, sometimes with a book, sometimes just discussion.

The idea would be something like:

– small group

– one character or theme per meetup (Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII, Cromwell, etc.)

– thoughtful discussion, but very low pressure

Before doing anything, I wanted to see if there’s genuine interest in NYC for something like this.

If this sounds appealing, feel free to comment or message me.

I’m especially curious what format people would enjoy most.

Thanks!

  • I’d like a small format, maybe 5–6 people, so everyone actually gets to talk. Having a clear theme per meetup helps, but without presentations or notes, just conversation.

  • ...so y'all might want to arrange a field trip to Six the musical if this takes off. (The wives of Henry VIII form a girl band. It's incredibly fun.)

  • I don’t really know much about Tudor history, but I like to learn. I’d be interested in joining if you don’t mind me mostly listening/asking questions

  • I’d be interested. Can’t say I’m an expert on the Tudors but I’m generally a European history buff and would love any forum to discuss with others.

  • Thanks so much for the interest — this is really encouraging.

    To clarify: I do want to make this happen. I’m just taking a little time to think through the logistics so it’s done well (venue, group size, format).

    The plan would be a small group (around 5–6 people), meeting in a public place like a bar or café, with a clear theme per conversation — relaxed, but thoughtful.

    I’ll follow up soon with next steps once I lock those details in. Really appreciate everyone chiming in.
