People used to have in person parties to exchange PGP public keys. I read about them. In the PGP manual.

Look a picture of one in 2008! You can see them writing down the public keys with pencil and paper.

And 4 times a year, you go to the key revocation party.

And the party specification does not mention food, nor music, nor decorations.
