Nick Gray's Event Influence

Sam Parr shares a story about how Nick Gray's book on hosting parties became popular among introverts in Austin.

"Nick's book made him like the king of the introverts. I had so many introverted friends who read the book and started hosting Nick Gray parties. I would be walking around Austin at like 7 o'clock at night, and in Austin all the bars are outdoor bars. I swear to God, there was this one mile walk through East Austin where all the bars are, and I would see multiple Nick Gray parties happening.

We would call them 'name tag Nick' because they always had Nick's name tags. They would be in a circle, and I could see the person in the middle pointing exactly like he tells you to do in the book. On one mile walk, I saw three Nick Gray parties - one at Lazarus, one at Whistlers, and one at this other bar. It was insane. It's like Nick was the introvert's king for a handful of months. In Austin, so many people were doing it."
