Thanks for joining us at Black List Happy Hour!
We’re overflowing with gratitude for our community
Our first happy hour of 2026 was an absolutely beautiful experience.



Over 150 incredible humans gathered together on Tuesday — and they had to brave flooded streets and LA rain to do it!
From 5-8 PM, we shared names, ideas, food, and anxieties (about the world, about our work, about our lives). We asked questions, laughed, and definitely might have gotten a sugar high from all the candy. We talked about scripts, projects in post-production, poetry, the things we do to replenish our hearts, how we give back, and the many approaches to process that ground our work as artists.




Thanks to everyone who joined us at El Condor! Getting to meet so many of you and seeing a creative community come together in real time was incredibly humbling and inspiring. We can’t wait to do it all again next month!
Join us every third Tuesday of the month, from 5-8PM, at El Condor on Sunset. We’ll share more info about our next happy hour (March 17!) as the date gets closer.

Lillian this is so lovely, what a champion of community you are! Do folks need to be a professional writer or a member of the Black List to attend?
Lillian,
