Out-of-work writers mixed protesting with pleasure at the inaugural “Strike Up a Romance” event.
“The strike is an easy icebreaker to start a conversation or start flirting,” explained Wolfe, a showrunner onwho admitted she had yet to use it herself as she was too busy smoothing out logistics with her party partners. But she did take a few minutes with“We’re younger writers who weren’t part of the original strike, but we heard these legends circulating in the rooms over the past decade about people meeting their spouses during the 2007 strike.
There definitely was a lot of chatter happening, and THR even witnessed one ice-breaking moment. While waiting in line for the restroom, a man introduced himself to a woman by leaning on the historic circumstances. “What do you think of the strike so far?” he asked. She smiled and shrugged her shoulders, “Fine, so far.

So, it seems like a good site to meet someone because emotions are high over there.”
She added, “I feel like people who have that criticism, are they saying that we should just be angry and scream for six hours at a time and not talk to each other and not try to make the best of a bad situation? We’re writers. We’re great at multitasking. We can write, we can direct, we can produce, a lot of us are multi-hyphenates already, so we’re used to wearing different hats at the same time.
