On Liza’s very first night of college, she found herself at a party on South Bouquet Street. Not knowing anyone, she wandered into the kitchen and helped herself to some snacks. A few minutes later, a tall blonde guy walked in and asked, “Who are you?” That was Jake. Over the next two years, they became close friends, spending time cooking together, playing racquet sports, and sharing the occasional tequila cocktail. When Jake graduated, they went their separate ways... but life had other plans. Both eventually landed in New York City, staying loosely in touch through birthday messages and mutual friends. Then one day, Jake came across Liza again on a dating app. The timing was finally right. Now here we are, ready to celebrate their story with the first-ever KD APES mixer in Beacon, NY!
