Interviewing Ilana Eberson, matchmaker and president of “Disconnect from the Internet, Reconnect at a Real Live People Party.”

Yes. The name of her business is 11 words long. And yet! And yet. It certainly gets the message across!

Ilana does 10 real live people events a month (I’m exhausted just thinking about the number “10”), matching people in all sorts of ways. Tonight was speeddating (I didn’t actually do it, but I watched and interviewed! Almost as fun.), but other nights she does museum parties, bowling events, trips, etc. Unsurprisingly, she’s extroverted and a bundle of energy - and single herself!

She said she would try to find the right guy for me. I told her “good luck with that! Maybe you shouldn’t tell them my last name.” Then I went off and ate my Dunkin Donuts donut. By myself.
