like second by second i start to feel more guilty i think that's what it is it's just like people have shit to do you know it's like I know that I know the idea is to like let the music run for like
five minutes and then let people join in so we don't have to just everyone who's here at the
beginning gets to hear me repeat myself in five minutes you know but uh yeah who cares what's up everybody all right i saw uh callie roots uh you were trying to jump on to
speak i invited you back up if you want to join us up here and uh yeah this is going to be an ama

Sure, man. Yeah, no, thank you. I'm just supporting and I appreciate the space.
Yeah, right on.
Take in the wisdom.
Yeah, I mean, we got a lot to kind of like run through.
I'm going to kind of keep it light until we have a few more people in and then I can just like actually deep dive and then actually answer questions.
But I think for the time being, cool, man, you're in LA.
Like, do you live here or are you visiting?
I'm LA native.
I'm in LA County, not like downtown LA.
That's where it's hip and pop and crackalacking.
Now I'm like more in like the suburban area where, you know,
all the red flags are flying.
Sure. Sure.
Yeah.
It's a big county.
You've got a lot of kinds of flags here.
Yeah.
But it was crazy.
I was looking for an NFT event.
I'm searching the web.
I asked chat GPT.
I went down the list.
And it suggested NFT LA.
Nice.
I am now.
Here I am.
Excellent.
Oh, I'm glad the AI bots are with us.
That's cool.
I don't know what press releases they read
or if they're actually able to scrape data off of Twitter right now
or if you were asking Grok,
and Grok has all of our info.
But yeah, man, we're part of it it's nice to like
be you know getting the community together in Los Angeles I think there's a few groups that do it
really well out here but I think that you know it's it's nice to do something under the big tent
and kind of invite all the different groups in and you know help support these communities that
are kind of like
islands, you know, within the county. So yeah, really happy to be doing it. Thanks for joining
us. And if you have questions or anything that comes up, man, spring it, you know,
I appreciate it. Funny story. We, I was like, so I found a specific site when it was,
it was something that was happening in um pasadena like university right
so so i go and i'm in this hunt mode looking for the event i can't find it but i spent like an hour
hour and a half looking for but apparently i had the wrong event so was it this week
no it was last week oh gotcha butcha. But I persevered, my friend.
Right on.
I persevered.
Good to hear it.
Okay.
All right.
Well, let me check in with Plotsky.
Plotsky, how are you doing?
What's life like?
How is it out east?
Rainy.
Oh, that's horrible.
Okay.
Rainy and cold, yeah.
I heard the weather's nice out there right now.
I had some friends go on some trail runs today, but yeah, kind of dreary, but I am, I am hunkered
down with all of our speakers and our sponsors and it's pretty cool.
I can't believe it's already next week.
Yeah.
This, this, I don't know.
I'd say it snuck up on us, but we've been like working on this thing for fucking ever so i'm i'm thrilled that it's finally happening and i'm uh yeah i'm really proud of what
we put together and the you know the community speakers that are joining us and thank god for
the sponsors for coming through i really appreciate um having their support because it makes it so
this stuff gets to happen on a better level. So yeah, right on.
I guess we've got, you know, whatever.
We've got 10 people in here.
I could just start ranting on what happens every day.
Sure.
Oh, I also see we got Gnome in here.
Gnome, what's up?
Hey, what's up?
It's impossible to reach you in DMs.
That's very fair.
I just need to join this space and just to say hi.
Yeah.
Hey, yes, we've been like triple buried.
So I'm sorry for leaving you on read every now and then and then popping back up to say
hi and then disappearing for another week.
We're a small team and we're doing our best, but I appreciate you jumping in here.
And yeah, are you local?
Are you in LA?
Are you going to be like flying out?
What's your situation?
Yeah, I'm in LA, but honestly, I was so much private for the past two years.
And only now I'm starting to be more active on events.
Oh, cool.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, this transition between unboxing and doxing.
And I'm like, yeah, totally.
I think, you know, it's good to come out. But I think it's still, you know, it's still something that you like, on your level of comfort, whether you're going to tell people what your account is, you know, you can still say what's up and have a great conversation with somebody and just make up a name. You know what I mean? Like, no pressure to go on grid. If you have been living off grid.
No pressure to go on grid if you have been living off grid.
100% thank you for this.
Yeah, I'm excited.
I'm excited.
Share more with us, please.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
Fuck it.
Let's do it.
All right.
So I'll walk through next week.
Okay.
So, wow.
We have most conferences, just to put this in context for everybody, most conferences
are two to three days.
And that's a lot.
You know, just putting these things together and getting all of this kind of organized.
It's like, it's a pretty big ordeal.
Some of these events are much, much larger than ours.
But as far as time goes, and as far as like the amount
of programming that we've got, we really, we really did it kind of how we like to do it, which
is a lot. Like it's, it's kind of intense. So we're starting on Monday and we're running through
Sunday. We're going to be doing, Oh, what's up Rose? I'll throw Rosa and invite to speak as well.
Um, so we're starting Monday. Yeah. Monday's going to be like early check-in for anybody that's in town
that wants to just come through and check out the space and not have to worry about anything,
ask questions in person, all of that. We're doing it on Monday. We're going to be letting people
preview the space while we're setting up the LED walls, while we're getting everything kind of organized, a bit of our install.
But we want to make it so people can kind of like peek behind the curtain and feel really comfortable with the space and not feel like they're going to miss anything if they show up late.
So all Monday afternoon, I think we've got it from like one till 4, maybe 1 till 5, something like that.
People can come by the event space and just check it out and check in for the week and know that they're covered.
Our location is downtown LA.
We're producing all of NFTLA at Super Chief Gallery LA, which is our 9, 000 square foot giant warehouse gallery in dtla
so we're going to be like oh what's up troy i'll invite troy to speak um so that's what's going on
for monday all right no speakers no stress just easy access to get kind of settled in and kind of
get a run of the week and And then we move on to Tuesday.
Tuesday starts early for the community, for World of Women.
We're going to be hosting a World of Women brunch
from, I believe, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
And that's going to be, you know, initially,
I think they were saying that they wanted to have it
just for community members.
But since then, they've been really excited by kind of like the feedback and people getting into it.
So I think if you apply to join them, it's totally cool through the Luma.
And they'll just let you know if you're in.
So, you know, some juices are going to be provided by, was it Fresh Juicers for the PH?
Yeah. Excellent. All right. Well good because they're they're wonderful and they've been uh they're going to be helping us out all week but
they're going to have some for that we're gonna have a local bakery being provided some baked
goods and uh it's going to be a nice time for that community to kind of you know reconnect with
the la community that they've built here and then welcome new people to kind of hang out and get to know everybody. So that's gonna be World of Women from 10am to
1pm, kind of a brunch thing. And then starting from one, and I think we're gonna go till maybe
six, maybe seven, we're going to just use all of the screens in the building to showcase artists
that are, you know, in our community. And we're going to start with showcase artists that are um you know in our community and we're going
to start with the artists that won the open call for nftla there was a huge huge open call that we
did with i think like 25 curators that we love in the space and everybody jumped in and picked their
favorites and kind of spread it to their networks and we had over a thousand artists participate
with the post and the like the tweet went super fucking viral and i think we had over 150 000
views on that and it was just like it was great it was great to get a bunch of new artists in front
of a bunch of our curators and give them a really nice opportunity to be shown and really exhibited
like proper so with that i'll kind of explain a
little bit about how we're showcasing artwork for uh for nftla we rented three giant led billboards
and it's uh and we've got them you know we're gonna have them set up on monday and they'll
be ready to roll on tuesday so it's going to be like giant led walls uh 16
feet wide nine feet tall um and we got three of them so that's like what is that like 48 feet wide
yeah gonna be incredible yeah that's pretty good so 40 uh 48 feet wide. You know, each, it's going to be three screens, all right?
So it's like, it's kind of like TV dimensions.
So like most TVs are like nine by 16 is like the default dimension.
If you have them horizontal, that'd be 16 wide, nine tall.
So the way we're doing it is 16 feet wide, nine feet tall.
And yeah, we're going to show this artwork gigantic.
So we're really hyped for that.
We've got a lot of artists that we've shown over the last four years at Super Chief.
And we're going to just add their work to the showcase as well.
Not everything we've shown, Jesus, but like, you know, some favorites just to kind of spice it up and then give some extra shine to people we love.
We're going to document all of that and share that.
We also have a bit of support from some friends in the space.
We're going to come and shoot it as well on a gimbal and God bless them.
And that's going to be Tuesday.
Yeah, we're going to keep it pretty manageable, keep it chill.
We're going to keep it pretty manageable, keep it chill.
What we really want to do on Tuesday is allow artists and the community,
if they want to come out and see work in the afternoon from 1 to 6,
let's say 6, if I keep it open a little later, that's nice, but let's say 6.
So 1 to 6 p.m., I think we're just going to make it free.
If people want to come and see it, make that accessible
so they don't have to worry about like, oh, shit, I didn't have the money to buy a ticket come out come out and see the artwork
come out and meet the people that are putting this all together feel really welcome and get
to know with you know what's going on overall and then wednesday i'm going to start charging you
so that's uh that's the way we're going to run this. So Wednesday is NFTLA.
That's like the big launch day.
We've got a ton of the community, a ton of artists that are flying in from all over the planet, which is really nice.
Artists, curators, people that are building things in the space that we believe in.
A couple sponsors here and there.
OpenSea is going to give like a bit of a 20-minute keynote
and just kind of speak their mind a little bit
and let people know what's cooking.
And then I'm really thankful that we've got some artists in here
that we don't get to see too often.
Jack Butcher is going to join us.
I think full transparency, a couple of these people
who are in places around the world
that they're not able to exactly travel at the drop of a hat, I'm going to zoom them in. You know, some of these people are
going to be on stage, some of these people are going to be on the screen, but we're all going to
be talking and kind of having fun with it. So that's going to be how we kind of get some of
the Europeans in the mix and a couple people from Japan. So that's, uh, that's Wednesday. We're going to be running from
Wednesday starts, I believe at 11 AM with a, uh, uh, kind of like a keynote or not a keynote,
I guess, uh, opening ceremony. That's what I like to tell people, an opening ceremony. And I'll talk
about what we're up to. And then we're going to have back-to-back panels. We're going to have
food and drinks on location. We've got a food truck out front. That's going to have back-to-back panels. We're going to have food and drinks on location. We've got a food truck out front that's going to have great pizza.
Don't forget the morning before you get to the evening.
That's right.
Wait, the yoga thing?
Yoga?
Yes, we're doing yoga, everybody.
We're going to have yoga.
What is that, 9 a.m.?
Yeah, 9 a.m. until about 10.30-ish.
Yep, something like that.
So I think it's a nice way for people who care about themselves
and care about their body to feel good.
So they can do that.
And then they can hang out and drink juice and watch everybody be hilarious.
So we'll do that.
And then Wednesday night, we're going to have, you know, musical
performances. We're going to have live art being done by Logic. We're going to have a few DJs and
then we're going to run it till shit. I think we're doing a 12 hour day on Wednesday. So it'll
be like, oh no, it's a, it's a 14 hour day. I've really put us through it. So it's going to be
9am with yoga and it's going to end with going to end with a DJ chill party for all of us,
running until 11 p.m., and that'll be Wednesday.

the alleyway and not that you're promoting that but it just kind of rolled up but anyway there's
a lot yes there are people with balloons in the alleyway yes we have a wonderful graffiti covered alleyway in the back that people occasionally will pull up in the back in the alley and sell people balloons you know and like you know

I'm not even going to tell people the last time.
If they, you know, I recommend coming out tonight. But of course, uh, you know, all next week,
Monday through Sunday, we're going to be having a lot of fun as well.
I see Kit. Kit has their hand up. Kit, thank you for the offer to be filming things with a gimbal.
By the way, I love you, Kit. Yeah. Yeah. I got the gimbal just for, well, technically I got the
gimbal to show animus how to make proper videos of people's art uh when he's in Amsterdam and I
can't be there but um uh also offer still there if you need to be me to be a little minion just
let me know uh but come and shoot shooting is everything that's amazing okay awesome um you
guys were bringing up stripper clowns and that brought the question to me so there's a couple
after parties I am from Canada.
So navigating LA is not my strong suit.
And there were two, there's two after parties.
I'm like, sure, where is that?
One, I think is an actual stripper club called the Jumbo Clown.
Okay.
I wasn't sure.
Yes, that's fair.
I was just like, is it?
Okay.
I was like, all right.
It's a, I want to correct you.
It's, it's, yes, but like technically it is, yes, like technically it is, but it's a burlesque.
And it's very.
There we go.
It's a burlesque.
It's classy.
Yeah, it's classy.
It's classy.
Okay.
There are no lap dances.
And most of the time, like couples will go.
And it's like a cheering section for these girls because each of them come out with their own song
and they have their own special...
It's a Christina Aguilera moment. We're here for it.
Oh, dude, it's great. Yeah.
It's a dive bar. It is a fun
sleazy dive bar
that is like...
It's not like a mega club
energy at fucking all.
This is like a place you can
hear each other when you're talking and getting drunk
and also everybody's just like having fun.
I was a little worried that I wasn't gonna fit in
with the crowd and I'm realizing that my converse
fit right in.
We're good.
There you go.
Totally.
You're just fine.
The thing I usually tell people
if they're visiting LA is to go to Harvard and Stone
to watch live music right up the road,
have some great classic cocktails and then go to Jumbo's Clown Room. But back to you, Kit.
Well, I expect a cultural education while I'm there. So if you see me, please just
grab me, drag me to all the things. 100%. You ride with us.
Okay, cool. The other question was the art warehouse, which I'm assuming is attached to the gallery,
but I could be wrong.
It's just us.
Oh, 100%.
That's, you don't have to go anywhere.
That's just here.
I just need to be there.
Awesome.
Yes.
Yeah.
You just sit still and then a new DJ comes on and suddenly it's a whole new event.
So yes.
Awesome.
Okay.
All right, cool.
That was, that was great questions.
I'm like, I want to be at the things where everybody's at,
but I don't know where the things are.
So thank you.
And for those who don't know,
just like if you see an older lady who doesn't look old,
caveat there,
with gray hair and blue in her hair,
that's me.
Okay.
That's it.
Okay.
Okay.
Just say hi.
I'll be rocking my punk.
So it'll be good.
So you,
I can pick out of a crowd. So I will come and hit you and be like, this is me.
Okay, excellent.
Everybody else, just come poke me.
All right, fantastic.
I look forward to you.
See you guys later.
Right on.
Thank you for the question.
Great question.
Where are these things happening?
Always a solid question.
Answer is, for everybody who's listening, we really wanted to keep as many parts of the
event in one location as possible.
So people don't have to worry about the commute. They don't have to worry about traffic. They don't
have to worry about missing their friends and they don't have to worry about, well, where am I
supposed to go tomorrow for the satellite event so I can be part of it? Fuck all that. All right.
It's one building. It's giant. It's a 9,000 square foot building. It's a 3,000 square foot,
square meter building, you know, for people that care. And yeah, it's a. It's a 3,000 square meter building for people that care.
And yeah, it's a giant warehouse that we love. So I'll add another speaker here. And then
I see Spirit's got a question. Spirit, what can I do for you?
Hey, man. Really, it's just... Hey, everyone. I really just wanted to say how enthused I am and just, you know, how much I'm looking forward to this.
As soon as I heard, you know, you were involved, I was like, yes.
I appreciate you.
It already feels like we're leveling up.
I've been a big fan of, you know, L.A la taking more of a strong position in this space um there's no
reason why it can't we're all totally agree we're all willing to you know yeah i'm i just love the
way you're leading and i'm i got my bip for all week oh hell yeah i'm yeah i was working on
something hoping to get a little corner you know but know, but I'm not worried about it.
And I'm going to be there all week rooting for everyone and having fun.
I appreciate it, man.
Well, I mean, I'm glad you're going to be here with us.
And fuck yeah, man.
LA deserves it.
Like, it was breaking my heart for the last couple years where it's just like, I'm seeing the community be present and build i'm seeing
everything that the brilliant motherfuckers at irl alpha did for like two years straight and built
community hardcore you're you guys are the only reason i went to the west side fucking period
for and still the only reason i go out there is to see you people. The community that was built with Vegan and Rose and fucking Butoshi and Troy and Chris
and just the amount of people that consistently put on for the rest of everybody and the amount
of people that showed up consistently and just like, yeah, it's awesome.
And God bless Rose for holding it down and making it into a meetup while everything gets
kind of like continued to be worked out when it comes back.
yeah,
it's been low key.
You know,
we just,
we still be hanging out at vibes co for anyone who ever wants to come
down.
Yeah.
but you know,
I think the rumors are out there.
So there's,
there's a few more pieces we have to put together to get the,
the show back active,
but it's on its way.
You know,
the thing is it just has to be done right and elevated.
And,
uh, we're taking a page out of your book and i think spirit just really referenced it really
well because there's probably some skeptical people there might be people here that saw
the nftla on the highlight there and like oh what the heck because it's been notoriously
um an underwhelming type event it's not to throw shade anywhere it's just like
it's just been been with so many events
on the roster every year,
for whatever reason, the NFTLA
has always brought
out a decent amount of
high-level people and great artists,
which is what I do appreciate about
what it's done.
But the event itself has always been a little
confusing. So after experiencing
what you did, did at in Japan,
I'm telling you,
you guys,
you guys don't even know.
Yeah.
It's like they cracked the code to some whole new like way of doing things
and just elevated the entire like experience.
And,
you know,
I think there's been,
I think NFT NYC for examples is a big giant NFT centric,
uh, um, mega thing on LA. But the thing with Ez is really doing, and it says NFT LA, but if you guys notice, every day from when it starts, I think Wednesday it starts, whatever day it starts, all the way until Sunday, you have a different theme for the day.
You have NFT LA, then you have the ordinals, you have the gaming with Gaming Saturday, then you have the AI,
then you have the gaming, and then you have the 420 Smokers, right? Yeah, man. And Pepe. So you're
bringing an entire experience that I don't think we've seen in this area before. So anyways.
I appreciate you, Rose. Thank you, dude. Yeah, I mean, I'm really, I'm very thankful that we get
to do this. And I'm really excited that there's so many, you know, so many opportunities for like, us to focus on one community or another, but really invite the other communities to join it. And kind of like have this overlap. Because I think people just want to learn about other things that are going on. And they want to hang out and kind of see it without having to really feel like, you know,
I don't know. I think that these are, these are like welcoming islands at this point. And moreover,
LA just, LA deserves and LA like has all of the ingredients to have really strong events that kind
of bring people from the rest of the country and bring people internationally to
like experience LA culture. And, you know, I think this is our, this is our kind of first stab at
bringing it back in a meaningful way. And I I'll say it out loud. I've been saying it privately,
but I'll say it in this fucking chat who cares um if we can do this and
this goes positively and everybody's happy at the end of it and like more more than anything that
the community is happy with it at the end of it then i really want to work with the members of
the community to do this shit quarterly because i think you know there's a lot of groups that do
weekly meetups and there's a lot of groups that do weekly meetups and there's a lot of groups that do monthly.
And I think that's fucking super necessary for these communities to kind of like to do that and to show everybody what can be built when we like look forward to something every quarter that we kind of show what
we've been building um show our best and brightest and kind of like show the rest of the world
our best and brightest so that's that's where my head is at with it um My hope is that we all continue to survive,
and then we can do this four times a year and really bang it out.
Right on.
I see Callie had a question, then let's do building.
Yeah.
Thanks, Super Chief.
You've explained a lot.
I went from, you know, I'm new in this space,
so I'm trying to fully immerse myself and just understand,
appreciate the art, appreciate all the work behind it.
Right on.
And I'm thankful that I found you guys.
Seriously.
Thanks, Omi.
I thank chat GPT.
But what would you give them to fully appreciate everything that's happening?
Oh, show up. I would really like, you know, first and foremost, show up to each of these days and hang out you know like be really
comfortable walking up to people and introducing yourself because you know it's not like every
person in the room is like it's not like they're gonna hire you for a job don't walk in with that
fucking energy walk in like hey i'm here and i give a shit about this you know because i think that's everybody in
the room and the thing that i've like i mean christ man i've been in this for four and a half
years now and the thing that really i i consistently love about this space and about the events that
like everybody throws around the world and the
meetups and all this shit is that people want to connect with each other you can walk up to
fucking anyone and say hi and ask them what they do in this space and they're going to tell you
and they're not going to like blow you off and you know if look if they're busy and they're walking
out the door they're probably not going to care you know but if they're hanging out and they're walking out the door, they're probably not going to care, you know, but if they're hanging out and they're in there and they're in a circle, you can walk up to the circle. And like, there's
not a lot of, I don't know. I mean, I guess theoretically you could take this energy to
everything and just be that kind of person, but you walk around most other communities
in industries and things in life and people don't necessarily want to talk to a new person in this industry. They really do because nobody knows who anybody is. And somebody could be a
genius. They could be an amazing artist. They could be like the person who invented something
that we all use and they're down, you know, they're just kind of chill people. And it's,
yeah, it's fucking crazy. So if I was going to give advice to anybody that's new to, you know,
being IRL with this kind of thing, I would say show up, plan to be there,
you know, like, and like spend time there and fucking, you know,
walk around and say, hi, a lot of people are down to talk.
Perfect. That was the greatest advice. Thanks.
I'll definitely do that. Right on.
Hell yeah.
I don't know the other person.
What is it, Building? Are you still here?
Did they dip? Yeah, I'm still here.
Oh, right on. What's up, Building?
It was good, yeah.
I do a few things. I've been in
here for a while. Definitely
been to Superpeak a couple times.
Nice.
With fire donations.
Oh, shit.
Right on.
Building?
Y'all was out here in the East Denver.
Well, I was out in the East Denver this year doing the art.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyways, I've been doing this for a couple years.
I guess five plus in general.
Right on.
But I like and support a lot of things that you're doing and stuff like that.
So I just wanted to jump on.
Yeah, yeah.
Just to, you know, patch on your back.
Patch on your back and tell you to keep on doing everything that we're doing.
I know we're going through a little turmoil right now.
And I'm looking forward to being able to come support this next week.
Right now I got an event that I'm doing a little yacht event the exclusive
thing but anyway definitely i'll make it back down yeah that direction yeah next next week
next week that'd be that'd be fire and then like yo i just i gotta say thank you for participating
when we were doing the fire relief it really matters when somebody mentions that they whenever anybody like swings through something like that that we're doing
or comes through like the the space it just means a lot so first and foremost thank you for that and
then yo hit me in the dms man when you come by let me like let's actually say hi and shit don't get
lost in the sauce you know yeah for sure you know how you know how hard it is when you, but at least I like
the fact that you have a lot of things right there
at the spot.
Like you said, NCLA is kind of like
everybody has their event and it's like
you're kind of like, you got ordinals,
you got all these different things that you're going to and
you know, kind of like, anyways,
the point was just saying that it's dope that
you're having everything basically
at the building. I you know i appreciate it i appreciate it right on building well great
to connect and great that you've been here before i fucking i love it when people have been here
yeah you know i'm part of down part i'm part of dean of community so you know when it comes
to helping out my community like like i just i'm a part of, you know, NFTs and all this community as well.
So, you know, when I seen y'all was doing something, I stepped out and just kept on and, you know, just just went around around my business.
And I do I do a lot of philanthropic type of endeavors.
So even regardless of I lost my shit out there and and where I'm at, like I'm still keep on doing what I'm doing.
And I'm just, you know, I'm just I'm and pretend to say, you know, just keep on doing, you know,
saying like, you know, we all, we all going. So, I mean, I'm here. So my size.
I appreciate that. Like crazy man. Right on. Excellent. All right. I'll throw it to,
let's see. Longshot. What's up, Longshot? What's your question?
What's going on, everybody? Yeah, man, just excited to be here. Thank you for
bringing me up. I really want to ask more about logistics stuff, right? Me and a partner of mine,
we hosted a three-day event together. And I can tell you just from having a small team,
it was ridiculous. Months and months of work. Um, yeah, everything, you know, went according to plan.
And obviously there's hiccups along the way. So I really just kind of wanted to know, like,
you know, how much time has you guys put into this so far and how big is the team that you're
working with? Um, it's so valid. Oh my God. Plotsky and I will laugh about this for a while because it's just me and Plotsky.
Yeah, we got a small team, man.
Yeah, it's fucking, we are a small fucking team.
But like, you know, all right.
We've been doing Super Chief for 16 years.
chief for 16 years you know like i've been doing this um i was throwing events and parties and
You know, like I've been doing this.
community shit before super chief you know like it's just you know you if you love this kind of
thing then you love this kind of thing it is a hundred percent real that it is fucking work and it will grind you to death and it's exhausting
um but also if there aren't people like you know like yourself like plotsky like us like rose like
troy if there aren't people that like put on for their community then our community has fucking
nothing you know so it's like I want to be part of a community
that has shit, that does shit,
and that like, you know, gets to meet up.
And I'm really thankful.
I'm thankful that we get to, you know,
kind of come in and, you know,
direct and produce NFT LA this year
because LA deserves this and our community
deserves this and if we didn't step up and do it it just wouldn't fucking happen so like
i don't care that it's just me and platsky doing this like we'll do it to the best of our ability
i'll hustle every angle and fucking strategy i can think of i I'll hit up sponsors that I hadn't thought of. I'll ask
friends on who they think we can
find as a sponsor. I'll straight up
thank Snacks on air right now
wherever the hell Snacksman is.
The patron saint of
fucking PizzaDAO.
Snacks is the one that just straight up put me
in a group chat with
Adam from OpenSea.
And that's why we have a sponsorship from OpenSea. And that's
why we can afford LED walls. Like if snacks didn't give a shit that day and said, I'm busy,
I can't hook it up. Then I would be doing this on a projector and I'd be having people fly across
country and show up to this thing. And we'd be doing on a projector and it would be like you know in your fucking family's garage and we'll just do it to do it um but instead i'm really thankful
we get to be professional that that rules um we've been working on this in concept since
let's see in nashville last year during bitcoin uh bitcoin nashville i confronted josh and told him josh from
nftla and said he had to do it this year like he had to do nftla this year or it's like you know
the brand hasn't done something in three years like somebody's gonna take it you know and somebody else is gonna do it and then i kind of waved at him as i was saying it and i'm like i'm
gonna do it like i'll take it and god bless josh that he was really down and he was like
okay let's do it together you know and i gotta give it to him like he has enabled me to put us into this like maniac position to just try to do this in the worst economic situation, the worst economic season that any of us have gone through in fucking since like, I don't know, 2009.
Trying to get sponsors while everything is cratering, not easy.
Trying to get people to feel like they want to even be in the same room with each other
when it's a depression that's going on, not exactly easy.
But like Josh stood by me through it.
I got to give it to him.
And he gave me enough rope to hang myself.
And I tied a noose and jumped off a bridge and there was water there.
And that's cool.
You know, like, what are you going to do?
So we talked about it in Nashville.
We really locked in in November, December.
I did NFT Japan and Ordinals Tokyo and this giant project called Art Golden Guy in January.
And I think that really gave the community like trust in all honesty i had to like show them that
we could crush it in japan and they really extended a ton of trust to come out to japan
on the belief that i wasn't just going to fucking you know walk them into something terrible and it
was amazing like i'm i'm going to be proud of what we did in japan for the rest of my life so like being able to roll that energy into what we're doing here in la and also kind of like learning how to
do a conference by ourselves like i've partnered with conferences like we did nft rome um we did
nft korea we did um like in like leadership positions we we worked with them as like art director art
designer we did a bunch of like putting some things together but the first one that we ever
really did like me and a team um was nft japan i think and doing that by ourselves really just
showed me that like like anything it's fucking doable. You can do it. You know,
you can work hard and do it. And I think that made it so I didn't feel overwhelmed with this
opportunity to do it in LA. And again, I got to thank the LA community for giving a shit.
You know, if people didn't want to come together and do it, this thing wouldn't happen.
So I'm very thankful. Dude, honestly, love to hear it. Right. Because I get the two person team.
It was pretty much essentially the same thing for our event that we did.
But granted, it was three days.
But yeah, you know, just looking forward, man.
You know, I didn't know this was happening until very recently when I saw the announcement post about this space.
But looking forward.
If you guys ever want to partner in Arizona we we do a large film festival out there well the first
film festival ai film festival in the us and yeah i couldn't resonate more with the the struggling
to find sponsors and in a economic downfall um but yeah dude would would love to connect on the
back end and see where we can help out for
you know next year if we could squeeze something in you know real late last minute here that is
super cool yeah and i'm always happy to hear when people are doing other um other cities and
producing you know not just nft related things but just like cultural events in other cities i think
that's dope and i think it's you know what gives a city a lifeblood so super supported and um i might have uh i feel like
you guys might have reached out to us in the past i keep uh i'm i'm deeply overwhelmed with the
amount of messages and dms that we get so i need work on that, but I'm glad that you're talking to us now and shit. Yeah, man,
let's connect it when I'm done with NF DLA next week. Yeah.
Yeah, dude. Absolutely. And lastly, just sounds fantastic.
Wish I could be there and wish you guys nothing but luck with the event.
I appreciate that a lot, man. Right on. All right.
I'll throw it to FGG or FCG. Excuse me.
Not that I'm a cohost, but but Nomi had her hand up, too.
I'll do Nomi after you.
I'll jump back in with you.
But, Ed, I just also apply to the intern position on the Super Chief site.
That is sweet.
We don't have that.
Oh, wrong site.
Don't take any links.
You be careful, sir.
Did we ask for
your wallet address?
No, but did you
have any other question?
Happy to answer because AMA style.
Can you guys hear me?
Yeah, yeah. Hi, everybody.
This is FCG. I'm Elliot.
I've been living in LA for almost 30 years. I've known Super Chief Gallery this whole time. It's been like the place for all the street art kids, for the graph people.
Yeah, hell yeah.
Now that I'm seeing that you guys are doing MTLA, I'm like super excited. This is like, that's my thing. It's what I do. And yeah, very excited for it. And now that I hear more about it,
I'm like super excited
because it's going to be like a big party pretty much.
Yeah, dude, it's going to be amazing.
I actually forgot to mention
the performers we're having on Friday night.
Nice.
Friday night, we've got two different groups
that are going to be performing.
One of them is Underworld, who's with us now, and his buddy Hacks. That's going to be sick. And then I'm going to really quickly
also mention we have a really special presentation by Strange Loop and his co-founder.
They're going to be doing this data set that's that's gonna be fucking sick but i want to quickly yeah there you go damn plosky you're good um so last far vortork
vortork and strange loop strange loop is the visual artist who tours with uh oh my god why
am i gonna i'm gonna blank now i've been looking forward to talking about this all day um oh fuck my brain plosky do you remember I think I heard of him yeah
oh man it's uh oh flying lotus oh yeah yeah so if anybody's like been to a fly low show
and uh and has like seen the crazy visuals and all the work that's up
on there like strange loop is a god yeah um so we're incredibly happy and proud to have like him
and his uh his co-founder there as well so i just want to quickly drop that now fcg did you have a
question uh just a few more just want to say yeah the lineup is amazing the more and more i see the
the names is just like a lot of people that really want to meet and hear from uh one last thing i want to ask about is uh you
mentioned that amazing led wall yeah super exciting is how is there a way because i know until you're
gonna have a lot of time for showcasing stuff is there a way for people to still be able to
contribute to that just to have their stuff seen maybe for a few minutes here and there?
We did a giant open call for that.
So I'm like, I'm a little bit, you know, hit me in the DMs, send me something.
Sure.
You know, and if I fall in love and I'm like, look, I got to make things complicated for me and Plotsky. I'll see if I can do it.
But I do want to respect that like everybody, like a lot of people submitted and I want to make sure that I kind of honor that shit.
Right.
First come, first serve for sure.
Yeah.
But still hit me in the DMs though, for real.
And like send me shit.
Cause again, if I freak out and I'm like, dude, I'm fucking, I'm about this, then we'll
just slip it in.
Yeah.
LA definitely needs something like this um i was just recently in san jose for our conference for the salon ai summit and it was so much fun and it was it wasn't even that much like as much
as you're promising here so very exciting right on well i'm like i i really i tell you one of the
things that i'm trying to like crack this year,
I've been trying, I tried a lot last year, but it just never really connected. But I really want
to get Solana artists in the mix. You know, we have like really strong relationships with artists
on Bitcoin. We have really strong relationships on artists on ETH, on Tezos. But like, it's fucking like, I have reached out 50 times to people that run like,
you know, marketplaces on fucking Solana and just all of it. And it's impossible. So I, uh,
that's one of my goals for this year is just like, you know, unite the chains and make it so artists
can be artists wherever they have their community, they should still be like seen by the rest of the artists and like these uh these arbitrary borders are kind of you know annoying
so it was cool to hear that you did stuff with solana and uh i'm gonna push i'm gonna try to
get more solana action happening this year i might just start ignoring the fact that there are
marketplaces and just like reach out to the artist community in general and just go from there but
what are you going to do?
Noam, you have a question.
Noam.
Can other people hear Noam?
No, they might need to go down and come back.
You have to do it on your phone On the laptops it won't work
Gotcha
Okay
What's up bless
Good to see bless in the room
Yo yo
Hey how you feeling man
Good I actually like I know a lot of salon artists
So if you need help connecting
That's where I started
I started off in Te's and Solana and
Then obviously Bitcoin you had a Tesla's history should I have like some are on Tesla. Yeah, it's funny. That's what's up
You know, it's funny. I like really threw myself into this was uncovered him that threw myself into 3d and
I just could not like I think I saw a joy world or something
He's looking at if artists doing art on in 3d and VR, you know, like that's the coolest thing ever
I need to do that and so I taught myself how to make art in VR then animate like a full-blown like minute
GLB and then
Put that on to Tezos and that was my first. Oh, that was my first Tezos interactions
I think one of
one of the people that pioneered like the whole like 3d like like he brought the like the code
into like um everybody's attention when they were uploading onto like tezos or whatever
he's got him uh fuck i forgot is it uh nikita nikita and he was this ukrainian artist he was
so sick and i was just nerding i was like oh my god dude you can
put 3d stuff on tell us and i took the same code i was like yo bro you think i could do this in
other chains and i put it on so i was like one of the first people to do like the 3d like gobs on
solana because nobody wanted to help me and i was like bro what did i do yeah and i just kind of
figured it out and this was when there was like metaplex was like a thing. If you were in Solana, you know, like Metaplex is like,
it's where people try to inscribe or mint.
They don't use a scribe.
They use mint.
They try to mint.
Back then.
But yeah, that's just Solana.
I know a bunch.
Yo, they're actually coming back hard with their platform, Exchange Art.
I think they just dropped like a list of like all these new uh
people that work for them and a lot of them are people that have been in the solana space for a
long time so i'm excited for that because like yeah before it just felt you know when you know
when like a i think art exchange feels all vc and bullshit you know i'm like bruh dude like that
that felt so cringe before but now there's all these artists are like on the team so it feels
a little bit more like they're gonna listen to the artists and what their needs are so as long as they might
have a little comeback i believe in them i mean they definitely deserve it i mean like the artists
that are on there are working you know and i feel like i met a bunch like jt list and i've met like
uh like goku and like those dudes have been fucking true believers you know
and trying to really do for the artist community there so I feel like they definitely deserve a
fucking shot and I'm glad that they're taking the right moves of like actually including and like
the members of the community in leadership positions I think it's just really smart
so yeah man I hope it fucking pays off that cool. I wish that they'd joined us for this.
But obviously they had their hands full.
I mean, they were fucking doing a major move for the ecosystem.
So let's start there.
Cool.
Anybody else got a question?
I see Kenza.
I see Underworld.
Hey, what's up?
Hey, Kenza.
How's it going?
Going well.
Thanks. um hey kenza how's it going going well thanks um yeah i was just reflecting on the sort of uh
like palpable sort of relief and sentiment i've been picking up from just the community that
you've taken over nftla oh thank you yeah i just was recalling the first NFTLA I had been helping out this gallery who was like a like pretty substantial sponsor, like for the whole event. And it just wasn't like a great experience for them. So yeah, so I don't know. I don't know if that's been like the sort of feeling towards NFTLA in general, especially in comparison to like all the other world events,
but it's going to be, I'm like, it just sounds awesome.
And I'm excited that you're taking over and I'm kind of actually curious as
to like how that happened. Would you?
Sure. Yeah, I can run through it. Yeah.
Well year one for NFTLA, we were actually like co-founder we did the all of the
art stuff so everything that was done at like off-site they did uh we did all of the arts
programming at super chief gallery uh in 2022 so we had like art blocks join us we had x copy we had fucking everybody it was uh that was that
was awesome um it was cool we got like i don't know we had like pussy riot perform um we had a
like this kind of like cockroach car that had flamethrowers on it that we had outside um yeah it was great it was a blast um and then um the following year
it was just really difficult for them they had like i mean christ it was the beginning of the
end of the bull for 23 so suddenly sponsors were a lot more difficult and they were still trying
to do like the the big conference like convention center and i think
you know it's a it was a difficult era i got to give it to him like to even try and not just like
walk off a roof was like it was it was a lot that they were taking on and then i think from there
we we really had been pushing from the start that don't give up the nft name you know don't change it from
nftla um and i think it kind of led people to be confused for the last two years of like what was
really the focus of it and how they were going to execute and i'm thankful that I'm friends with the guys that put it all together. After long
talks,
I really had to campaign
that I would take it
seriously. I would work my ass
off and I'd make it something that everybody
can be proud of.
At a certain point last
year in Nashville, I had
a real conversation with Josh
and he backed it. Or know, or he didn't
back it like financially. He like greenlit it. I guess that's what we'll say. He's like,
he was comfortable with me trying my hardest to make it into something. And I'm really thankful
that I had that opportunity because I got to put this all together, you know, and really get the
opportunity to do it. And I'm thankful the community is still around.
It's really hard in this fucking industry.
So I give a ton of credit.
I give a ton of credit to IRL Alpha for keeping this fucking city together.
I'm going to, I'll say that on stage during the fucking, like the opening ceremony,
fucking like the opening ceremony that i think the the best the best thing that's happened to
this city for this community and for this culture was done by fucking vegan and rose and troy and
fucking uh butoshi and i think you know consistently week after week showing up when it was like
the metas were changing every week and they would talk through the meta they would talk through the ridiculous car crash of the last meta they would
talk through like what the hustle might be on the future meta and like that kind of open exchange
that was done by intelligent people made us all feel like there was something here that like look
maybe you can't respect every rug pull that walks up, but you can certainly
respect the people that are trying to guide us all through it and trying to talk through the
noise and the mess of the community that we're all going through. I think they made it palatable
to kind of be in a really chaotic environment and talk through it in a really intelligent way.
And I think that gave everybody something to be proud of and can continue to feel like mentally
awake when you'd show up and like have these conversations and witness these talks.
So I think that was really big. It allowed the community to continue to grow.
And I think that kind of held a lot of water for the city of Los Angeles and gave us the opportunity to kind of like still have something to come back to.
Like, I think that's a huge fucking part of it.
Anything else?
I love it.
No, I so agree.
It's just the perfect blend of people who were, who've been carrying that,
carrying LA.
Yeah, totally. I'm incredibly thankful. I'm glad that, uh,
I'm glad that they survived, you know,
like it's a fucking difficult thing for everybody to do, but I think, um,
you know, you go and see these guys and everybody's looking pretty good. Everybody looks pretty healthy. So that's great. Yeah. And I'm stoked.
Vegan's going to join us on Sunday on stage.
So we'll have him join us as well.
And that's going to be a blast.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
Feeling really good about it.
