The Patron

The room exists because you make it happen.

The Patron makes things happen in the community. He is not the center of the room; he is the reason the room exists tonight. He shows up reliably, brings the right people, and understands that his value to the community is not just personal but structural. The hosts keep inviting him because the evening is better when he is in it, and he takes that responsibility seriously.

You tend to

/Host gatherings or co-host them, because the event does not plan itself
/Know the event calendar before it is published and help fill the ones that matter
/Bring new people into rooms with care, because you know the room is only as good as who is in it
/Have a reputation with the hosts and organizers in your city
/Find that your standing in the community is built as much on what you have created as on who you are

Connects well with

/The Hostess — she runs the event; you fill it
/The Sovereign (women's) — she defines the room you create conditions for

Not to be confused with

The Steward. The Steward tends the community's culture; you generate its social calendar.
