Meet at the Clubhouse

someone that has been messing around with AR, maybe hasn't even started. There's a lot of opportunity to create in other side. Just through prompting your chat GPT, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to myself, anyone on the other side seem any more with the UGLABS badge. And we had a very good vibe code camp, maybe two, three months ago, and there's a lot of good content and videos there to walk you through the process, but as always, just reach out and let's start building in other side. The time is now. Bro, I know you have the same feeling idea. We were sitting there for a second, and I was like, holy fuck, you all. If you are in the club, not even in the club, whatever, you wanna be playing the other side of the club, have fun, go check it out. It is, if you haven't been in there in a handful of weeks, go fucking in there and just check it out. You will be blown away. My jaw hit the floor. Like, we, I been in Don stop, heads down, ape fast, all this other stuff. We didn't get a time to play a lot, right? We went in there yesterday. I can't speak for Illa. I was like, oh my God, this is crazy. DC showing us the games that he built in the cabinets, or you go up to the games, boom, you're in the game. Come on now. These ones. Bro. I would love to touch on that as well. I don't think a lot of people know. I mean, DC has been in other side since day one. He's like technical wizard, and if you go to the back of the clubhouse, there are a bunch of arcades of games, classic games, space invader, new games that he's putting up there. You can play multiplayer games, walking up with your ape to an arcade machine and hopping into an experience right there. And honestly, it's just the beginning. He's been cooking up. He brought Blackjack to the poker table. So you could play Blackjack. That's all through directive creator. And I know he's cooking up. There's gonna be a lot more. So if you haven't gotten to other side, other side.xyz on the Google Chrome browser, come on in, we would love to have you. Yeah, we should maybe do like a walk through tour one of these weeks. I revisit from the meet at the clubhouse back into other side with a walk through, because that was fucking crazy. That was so much going on. I'm like, yo, holy shit. It was like sensory overload. I'm trying to listen to Dork's story about being in Korea with his family and going aboard hungry with Kiki. And I'm like, man, this is amazing. Like Dork is doing the club things in Korea. And I know we're gonna touch on that with one. But I'm sitting at this to the story. And I'm seeing the giant frigging heavy metal transforming and then the dragon flying off. Then some orange thing that was just floating through the ether, through the swamp. I'm like, what the fuck is going on? Like, this is amazing. It definitely gave Ready Player One Vise, man. So shout out to everyone building another side. We're like, this is just the beginning. So I can't wait to see what happens here in the next year and two inside of other side. And I'm gonna play those arcade games soon. Oh yeah. You know what it is, Ella, too? From the last time we jumped in, the very first time we did a bubble. It's like, I know at some point we'll probably migrate back into doing bubbles again and jump into there. But we got the A-pack tour. And that was initially A-pack tour part two is kicking off in like two days, I think. Figgies out there right now, some of the teams on the way out. And we have our guest one out here to hang out and talk about A-pack tour, what it's all about. But I think it's kind of crazy because we were in the bubbles. We jumped over to spaces so that we could get a new time zone, find some new friends here. But I do look forward to going back into the other side and hanging again because, man, it gives you a whole new energy when law was like, I believe it or not, guys, I was in here yesterday with the dragon. And I was like, yeah, we believe it. As the craziest, funniest, the most amazing thing, it was a great time. If you guys haven't gone to a welcome Wednesday, hang out where you get to meet new apes, old apes, friends, whatever, go check it out, give them a support. They're gonna be hosting a mega space, October 7th. So make sure to pull up for that. But let's jump into it, guys. We're gonna talk to one for a little bit. Then we're gonna talk to low about all things A-Fest. So one, good morning, how you doing? Are you excited for A-Fest? Are you excited for A-Fest? And are you excited for the A-Pack tour that you're about to head on with the team? An-Yong-Hazel, can you hear me? Yes, sir. I just said hello in Korean. I gotta start working on my Korean right before I arrived. So to my Korean brothers and sisters who might be on this An-Yong-Hazel, that's about it. That's all I know. I was just about to say, one way, you should be Korean? There you go. I mean, listen to, I watched some K-Drama. I've definitely, my parents will speak to me in Korean when I'm in trouble or back in the day at least. Well, you taught us something. Now I know how to say, hey, now I know how to say what's up. An-Yong-Hazel, yes. An-Yong. I don't know if you guys were arrested development fans, but there was a character An-Yong. An-Yong. Yep. There you go, there. You're my team. One of the best shows ever is an alphabet. I watched it 20 times. I quote that stuff all the time. We're going to have to talk about that another time. An-Yong. You know, I want to say sorry to welcome Apes. I joined the clubhouse or I joined it yesterday. And I think law called me up. And then by the time I figured out how to use the mic, everyone left with spend and others on the journey. And I was literally by myself in the club in this world. It's all good, Juan. It's all good. We are the brothers. We are united in the mic, Dom. Our mics were jacked up yesterday, but we were there. Yes. We represented it. We pulled up. I know. Pulled up. I'm saying. All right. So what do you guys want to know? What's we discuss here? So I will pin this up above right now, the tour. There are a few different cities, a few different dates. We had a post come out yesterday with a really cool artist called Stone Rock that is our anchor three drop. Walk us through a little bit about the A-pack tour, what you're looking forward to doing while you guys are out there. Yeah, I think you might mention it at the top of the call. I mean, the first Asia trip gave us a really strong signal, which I think we already knew existed. And it's something that we're going basically because we want to show up and create and deepen relationships. And the more we deepen these relationships, they create new opportunities for B-A-Y-C. And that's why we're doing it. I think the first trip was, you know, figure was New CEO, Vera, Kiki, and others really helped us there to set up some meetings and some of the cities that we hit up there. And this time around, you know, we want to reconnect with the apes that, you know, we already had some time with, but we realized there is a massive ecosystem of collectors, gamers, IP institutions, artists, like we just mentioned with Stone Rock and brands that B-A-Y-C can be much more connected to. And, you know, I think Figgie said this in one of the slides when we were in Asia of saying, like, one IRL meeting can bring, can be more valuable than a year in Discord. I believe that one dinner, one moment with the right folks at the right time can open more opportunities than 100 emails back and forth or even a Zoom call. And so that, I would say, is why we're going back, you know, part one or Asia trip one kind of open doors and we knocked on some doors? I think this journey, this part two is about us walking now through the doors that we open, but new invitations. And I would say, yes, right now the focus, and we're leaning into Asia, but this isn't just about the A-PAC tour or the certain cities we've kind of listed here. But I think everyone is passionate about building a global club. And Asia just happens to be an area where we're seeing, you know, a tremendous amount of energy and invitation and opportunity right now. So we're going to lean in as much as we can. But I would hope that people aren't thinking just because we're focused here, they feel excluded. Europe matters, US obviously matters, you know, Middle East matters. There are so many apes everywhere, but right now we see a high signal and we're going to follow it. And I think there are things that happened in the last week, even where we see a new level of excitement and an idea of what the value that the club brings. I'm kind of like looking through, you know, even folks who are here, but I think Peter, he wrote an awesome tweet. I think, you know, I know him and Swicky are tag team there, but like he said, he said something in it. Well, it was a line. Oh, yeah, he said because we said so. And I think that's amazing. Like this idea of like, that's why we got into this game. Like it's decentralized. We're global. We're everywhere. We don't, we're permissionless. This is an opportunity for us to expand because people really believe in the club. And like, that's the meta of why we're going. Like there's community there, there's culture, there's distribution opportunities. And we have to show up. And I think the first time again that we showed up, Figgy was able to kind of say, hey, you know, man on the job, let's do this. I think this time around, we want to actually deepen the relationships. So that's a little bit of like, that's beautifully said. Yeah. Because a lot of people always ask, like, you know, why are you guys doing this? What's the benefit to the club? What's the benefit to me as a club member? I mean, I think for me like, as a club member myself, but I'm speaking for myself, Baron as a club member. I see this as an opportunity to find more club members and more friends, you know, and you guys are doing the groundwork going out there to make sure people are felt supported, heard. And like you said, it's not just Asia. This is just part one of this experience, right? So you guys are going to Shenzhen, Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, Hong Kong, Manila, Singapore. And then you're right back into America for a pass. So it's going to be a crazy, crazy, crazy week. Well, yeah. And like, I mean, I'm totally plagiarizing Peter at this moment, but like, I think everyone believes, I mean, that line too of like, B-A-Y-C should be, you know, taking our value, our culture, our club beyond web three. And I think, you know, one thing that Asia has opened up for us is that there is, yes, a lot of existing apes and a lot of collectors and people around them. And even former apes who are like, why should I buy back in or why have I been holding but not active? And then there's a whole cultural, you know, I was kind of, I wasn't joking. Like, I mean, you think about K-Drama, BTS, I mean, you think about all these things, but like there's artists. There's collectors, there's fashion, food, entertainment, IP. Like, Asia leads a lot of the ways when it comes to culture. And then, and then when I've been thinking of like, the next step, which is like, oh my gosh, there's so many exchanges there. There's so many institutions, there's so many platforms. There's different things beyond Instagram and, you know, Twitter. And so we need to be introduced to those things. And then if we do that and we get, you know, all those things working together, I think B-A-Y-C becomes, you know, goes way beyond, you know, kind of what we know of it right now. Wait, wait, wait, did you say there's life beyond Twitter and Instagram? I didn't know that. I really... There is surprise, surprise. We got to touch grass and go to... I know. But then that means you have to stay up 24 hours a day, which is unfair. I think we do that already. That's true. Yeah, Juan, that's something that I definitely touched on when on the first A-PAC trip is that. Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, there's like a lot of people who are very cynical about Web 3 and about crypto in the West. I don't know what that is because we have seen so many great things and so much life, so much life-changing energy and activities come through Web 3 and through crypto. But in A-PAC, there's still that amazing optimism. Like KBW is such a huge turnout for KBW and all the different activations over there. But even going to Tokyo and going to Akihabara and seeing a whole city that's built around anime. So when you have that type of optimism in IP and still in Web 3 and crypto, I think it's super important for us to make sure we always continue to strengthen our roots out there. That doesn't mean ignore what's going on and overheard home. We're definitely not doing that. We're building the clubhouse in America, but it's super important for us to strengthen our ties out there. Totally. And I think obviously we're kind of wrapping this all up in like A-PAC, but Asia isn't one market. Obviously, different languages, but like Seoul is very different from Taipei and Taipei in Manila are totally different from Singapore. And so even the six, seven cities that we're hitting all have different angles to it. I think Seoul and Sungsoo, when we're going for Korea Blockchain Week, we'll arrive. Figgies got a main stage at KBW. We got a huge signage and poster when you're leading up to the main floor. And that's going to lead you to Sungsoo, our pop-up. We're doing a little questing. And we've kind of customized it for the Korean holders and collectors. It's like they want to go on a journey and a quest. So, hey, you come.
