Like - The Post Trip Group Chat Hangover
Group chats are the best form of augmented reality. At the bachelor party I went to last weekend, we set up a group chat to coordinate details and get excited for the weekend. It was a brand new group chat with numbers I didn’t recognize. It was pretty quiet going into the weekend, but once we got there it started popping without ever becoming overly distracting to our actual enjoyment of the trip. We shared meet up plans and photos, while cracking jokes and being idiots. I still don’t have all the numbers saved, but I know who’s who. I could save their numbers, but our time isn’t going to last too much longer. So I’m enjoying it as I’ve known it for what little time it has left. This group chat was set up for a specific occasion, which is now over. Soon we’ll all unconsciously let it go from our texting routines. But it’ll always be there for when we meet again.
