Except this ship is in Brooklyn and quite docked and a bit far from the East River to rise, and also it would be really nice to avoid any tide on the East River because if Brooklyn gets flooded, the whole blockchain ecosystem would collapse.
Over the past month, we’ve been supporting ALLSHIPS, a creators house founded by Dave Krugman in the aforementioned Blockchain Capital of The World. Every week, we host events and invite everyone we know to join us for bites, drinks and vibes. Over the course of three months, ALLSHIPS will also be hosting artists in residence, creating unique artworks that they will be minting on Lens. They also have an Orb Club where they have been featuring the artists they are showing in an ever-changing exhibition at their space.
We’ll be revealing the list of artists in the coming days - the ALLSHIPS team has been diligently working on coming up with the ultimate roster.
The events we’re hosting are truly fantastic and full of great people from all backgrounds. I enjoyed my conversations with many ALLSHIPS attendees, discussing NFTs and provenance, travels, data, jewelry making and so many other topics.
This Saturday we’re hosting Mints & Music - a fun initiative to show that web3 music is unbothered. moisturized. happy. in its lane. focused. flourishing ✨There will be sets by Fred Riko, Mimo, Miette Hope , Lila Bloom and Ollie Chanin, as well as a curated DJ set from Bones.
If you are in NYC and interested in music and culture, you're invited. And if you can’t make it but you happen to be in NYC in the next month or so, please follow Dave and the ALLSHIPS club, because there will be more events.
