It's been around a week since I got back from NFT NYC. 🗽

I've never felt more motivated to work towards my Web3 goals. ⚜️

I'm so thankful to all of the friends, new and old, that I was able to share meaningful IRL connections with at NYC.

Here are some highlights~

(1/25)
// Rizz HQ

First of all-

I want to thank my roommates at our 7 person, 1 bathroom AirBNB, forever affectionately known as RizzHQ:

@shivst3r, @real_n3xt, @brommmyy, @bonglo_eth, @prodbyJazzmania, @Rajp_14.

Thank you for all the crazy fun, vibes, and deep 4 AM chats.

// The Mob

To the mfers I spent most of that week with running around NYC getting to all the events and laughing with until my lungs wheezed-

I've never been more bullish to work with such amazing builders over at @Citadalxyz.

Iykyk. ⚜️

// Monday - 4/10

/ Arrival

When I touched down at the airport, my guy @real_n3xt was already in NYC.

I bought him his first NYC bagel...but I couldn't help pranking him, and hiding the toppings. 🥲

His hilarious reaction:

/ Emily

For dinner, Rizz HQ booked a place called "Emily"- a pizza joint in West Village.

...and this man @ToTheDemon was AN HOUR LATE TO HIS OWN RESERVATION SMH. 🤦‍♂️

This proved to be a pattern- ✍️always✍️tell✍️Demon✍️to✍️show✍️up✍️an✍️hour✍️earlier✍️than✍️he✍️should✍️

/ Five Guys

After busting our bellies and not being able to finish the waffle fries, Rizz HQ roamed the streets.

We ended searching for the entrance of a bar above Five Guys before we realized the bouncer was *in* the burger joint.

A legendary night- first of many. 🍻

// Tuesday - 4/11

/ Los Tacos

After a morning of recovery, the boys were out again-

This time, in honor of @iamlauwolff, we had to celebrate Taco Tuesday. 🌮

We saw a tweet by @Beyza_nft and @shinyBeanz- and Los Tacos No. 1 was our next destination.

Delicious. 🤤

(7/25)
/ Central Park

After sticking my IRL POAPS (stickers) in random places, we decided to meet up with more of The Mob at Central Park. 🌳

@huncho_eth came in a suit (?), @0xfetty wore sweatpants, and @zenace2society and @byzianna_ arrived in very stark height contrast.

(8/25)
/ Jongro

For dinner, we headed to our KBBQ reservation at @BbqJongro.

Reunited with the homies @HabibiCapital_ and @NFTHabib after a year. ❤️

We all ended up at a bar with 35+ people after...

Met @DaBunnyOFFICIAL, @landwhisker, and members of the Gold Beanz DAO too :0

// Wednesday - 4/12

/ BEANZ

Early the next morning, we headed to Times Square, where I had somehow convinced ~30 Beanz/Azukis to show up (???).

@DemAzuki met us there with @krispykreme...then announced the @BEANZOfficial partnership with @_LINEFRIENDS

(peep recorder)

(10/25)
/ Fooooood

Met up with Valhalla royalty and Azuki legends at @KatzsDeli- some of the most wholesome and kindest people in Web3.

Life-changing pastrami.

Re-introduced myself to @acollNFT and @joecarmtv about 15 times.

Then pigged out at Eileen's Special Cheesecake. 🐽

(11/25)
/ Pudgies

After discovering myself and @OriginalMurr are equally shit at pool at @FrankyWWL's place, we headed to @pudgypenguins event:

- Shook hands with very confused @LucaNetz and @frankdegods
- Won a plushy 🐧
- Connected with the amazing @0xQALY and @0xBigVee

(12/25)
/ Nakamigos

After a heavily poured screwdriver, headed to Nakamigos- a blur of blaring music and meeting @notalexlin/@NFTAura/@theo2k2_/@11Shozen 🫶

Oh and @babywompu gave me some sus tingly mints and I played the recorder. 🎶

Yes, while the party raged.

(13/25)
// Thursday - 4/13

/ Explorin

Early on Thursday, I walked around Chinatown, Soho, and Little Italy.

The homies @SHINRAMEN_eth, @bonglo_eth, and @prodbyJazzmania accompanied me to pick up the special 1/1 necklace ft. my gold Bean.

Massive shoutouts to @FoundoWorld!

(14/25)
/ Bing Bong + Claynos

At night, we headed to the amazing @BingBongWEB3 party, with @MaisonGhost as the killer DJ.

Shared an uber with @Real_Pretzl (not actually a pretzel), @baconfairyria, and @CountDewKu to the @Claynosaurz event.

It. Was. Lit. @MINHxDYNASTY a KING.

(15/25)
/ AKCB

My mf guy @youfadedwealth with @AlphaProClub set up an amazing party with @akidcalledbeast. 🔥

Got to know two of my favorite people at NYC- @LexiconicalGap and @keshofficial- and FINALLY met @Imblahsty after missing her like 2-3 other times. 🫶

(no pics 😢)

(16/25)
// Friday - 4/14

/ 1%...and Salad

Early in the morning, met up with @NFT_GOD's 1% Club in Brooklyn (I think).

Met the king @AlexIsBuilding- authentic, kind, and fuckin dope.

Then rushed crosstown to eat the healthiest meal I ate in NYC with some of my favorite OGs 🥹

(17/25)
/ Taproot Wizard

Finally. I could use the wizard outfit I traveled 2.5k miles with.

I had issues with my ticket, but ended up serenading the Head Wizard himself, @udiWertheimer, with my recorder to get in.

Connected with @AshleyDCan, @houseofharshy, and @livehiped ❤️

(18/25)
/ Ice Cream + Valhalla

Went to a speakeasy (w/secret entrance at ice cream parlor) with some cool mfers.

Dope. 🍸

Headed to the @valhalla event (best vibes + music among project events).

Met so many people, including gangbanger @mumuloll and good fren @ninibeartv ❤️

(19/25)
// Saturday - 4/15

/ Bella Union

Big brunch at Bella Union with The Mob. ⚜️

Espresso martinis were flowing, as were the positive vibes.

@Everything_SOL was an absolute wholesome king - 10/10 would go to battle for him.

Arguably the coldest pic in NYC was taken. 🧊

(20/25)
/ Azuki NYC

Massive shoutouts to @AzukiNYC for the awesome event- met so many incredible Garden members. 🫡

The NFT and commission displays were amazing- @BeanJuiceClub is incredible. 🎨

Thank you @0xexodia for this beautiful frame. ❤️

(21/25)
/ Karaoke

After @ToTheDemon and @Imblahsty both accidentally walked in on the Azuki event bouncer using the bathroom, a group of us headed to karaoke.

I learned:
- @emilyrosemcg is a great singer
- @MINHxDYNASTY and @JessicaHnsn are fuckin adorable
- @CryptotomYT SINGS

(22/25)
// Sunday - 4/16

/ More food

Morning of leaving NYC, ate some divine key lime cheesecake at a random cafe-

Met @_Hanna_Kim_ at a group hotpot and she's dope as heck :D

Had to leave early, but @V1Zhual hasn't let me forget that I didn't eat my lettuce :')

(23/25)
/ Mooooooose

@shivst3r told me that he got invited to @JoeyMooose's place, so we hauled ass 🏃‍♂️💨

On the way, I pulled my hamstring- but WE RIDE.

Met Joey (the absolute nicest dude), Moosette, Daila (queen tbh), Zimmy, Gigi, and BabyEggRoll.

Perfect way to end NYC.

(24/25)
All in all...

Incredible experience.

So glad I decided to go to NYC.

The culture, the food, the people- I couldn't imagine anything to be better than it was.

It was my absolute pleasure to meet each and every one of you all- until next time 🫡❤️

also-

Beanz. 🫘
