CONNECTION IS ESSENTIAL
Robin Williams once brought laughter back to a grieving gorilla who had been mourning the loss of his friend for six months. This remarkable story began when American ethologists taught a gorilla named Koko to communicate with humans using sign language. Koko was exceptionally intelligent, but he was going through a deeply difficult period, to the point where biologists feared he might be suffering from severe melancholy.

The researchers wanted to help Koko by finding him a new companion while also studying how he interacted with humans. Since Koko had learned sign language and could communicate with our species, he was the perfect subject to explore whether there were true cognitive boundaries between humans and gorillas. To assist, they reached out to Robin Williams, the renowned comedian, and asked if he would spend time with Koko, interacting with him naturally, as if he were simply a person in need of comfort.

Williams agreed, though he had reservations. He wasn’t an expert on primates and worried he might be too awkward to connect with the gorilla. However, when he met Koko, Williams had an unexpected revelation. By letting the gorilla approach him at his own pace, Williams realized that interacting with Koko felt like engaging with a curious child. Gradually, Koko grew more interested in his visitor, even becoming fascinated by Williams’ glasses, which he referred to as "strange glass eyes."

Soon, Koko began communicating with Williams through sign language, suggesting games and asking surprisingly insightful questions that left the actor stunned. Within minutes, the two were joking, tickling each other, playing, and sharing stories from their lives. The researchers were amazed and asked Koko to describe Williams in one word. The gorilla chose the term "friend."

Williams was deeply moved by the encounter, especially when he learned that he had managed to make a gorilla laugh who was on the brink of depression due to loneliness. Inspired, he decided to visit Koko whenever possible and even filmed public service announcements with him, advocating for species conservation and against animal experimentation.

The bond between Koko and Williams was so profound that it endured even after the actor’s death in 2014. When Koko learned of Williams’ passing, he asked his instructors if he could cry and spent days in quiet reflection, his lips trembling with grief. The gorilla was inconsolable, knowing he would never see his friend again.

Koko passed away four years later, in 2018, at the age of 46. Today, he is remembered as one of the most significant primates in the history of scientific research, a testament to the extraordinary connections that can exist between species.

We all need a friend like Koko. Who will sit with us through whatever and remember us with great reverence when we have crossed over to dream another type of dream. We all deserve a Koko and a Robin🤍

SPEED DATING TIPS 1. Think of some good conversation starters and keep them handy (we will provide some too in case you run out of originals) 2. Have a practice date with a friend – this is always great fun!! 3. Dress To Impress. 4. Show Up Early And with a plan to Stay Late. 5. Try to relax and be yourself!! 6. Keep Things Light and have fun! 7. Strike a good balance between speaking and listening to your dates. 8. Don't Be Afraid To Tease A Bit 😉 9. If you feel a slight connection – make sure you indicate this on your scorecard – you never know what the other person is feeling and you have nothing to lose!! 10. Don't Rush Off. Stick around after the speed dating has concluded - finish those conversations that were cut short! 11. Remember To Follow Up On Your Matches (these will be emailed to you in the following days).

SPEED DATING 25/05/24 UPDATE - It has been brought to my attention the need to communicate what's going on - especially to those of you that had registered your interest to attend our Speed Dating event on 25/05/24 PRIOR to tickets being SOLD OUT as at 10PM yesterday (you have all been emailed too). As per previous emails and communications, we needed to find more men to fill the spots so we could accommodate more of you ladies. As always.. men seem to be a little slower on the uptake - so we have to work a bit harder to get 'em to attend these sorts of things 🤣 Meanwhile, all you ladies are super keen and we have a backlog of ladies that want to attend - just quietly building up. So... as we have caught EACH man - we invite the next lady on the list - It really is first in - first served - done this way to ensure a 50/50 male to female ratio, therefore a more successful and enjoyable dating experience for ticket holders. As of yesterday around 10pm, we received payment for the final ticket and have now reached capacity. If you had registered your interest to attend our Speed Dating event on 25/05/24, but have not yet been invited - you are now currently on the back-ups list. If you complete form here NOW > https://forms.gle/9ikh9McK1VFnCTqe8 you will be put on the back-ups list. If anyone cancels and we need a spot filled at the last minute, we will work our way down the list until we find someone that is still keen to come.. even if it is at super short notice!! And this does happen on occasion.. for many different reasons.. so you just never know!! Hopefully all this makes sense. And don't worry!! If we don't get you to this Speed Dating event, get in quicker next time and hopefully we'll get you to the next one x Arianna & the FLT Squad x Fast Love Taranaki

**SPEED DATING 25/05/24 TICKETING UPDATE as @ 10PM** We are completely SOLD OUT - please complete this form if you wish to be added to the back-ups list >> We will contact you if a spot becomes available. Form link >> https://forms.gle/SKnhMnJKfzvqGvcR8
