Look, the Facebook page for this event has used up all the clever HIMYM references I could have unleashed in this intro, so let’s play this straight.
How I Met Your Mother was a hit sitcom, and very much the Friends of its time.
In fact, the charmingly offensive tone, evergreen perils-of-dating plotlines, built-in nostalgia element, and the fact they were a friend group who actually spent large swathes of time with each other IRL and glaring at screens means this show, as with Friends now, will be more popular with teens/college kids in the 2030s than it was at its peak. Oh, spoiler alert.
Anyway, Hudson Ballroom is/are (depending on how you choose to personify a building) having a How I Met Your Mother tribute party this Sunday night, with dress-ups, and themed DJ sets from DJ Levins, FlexMamai and Mowgli May.
