Pikl Jar - The Summit Recap

that was supposed to be on the screen in this book, and pictures of the people that would be on stage, so they would know who to grab. Everybody had an earpiece, a walkie talk, bless you. A walkie talkie. Everything was done at a production level. There was a production crew in the back, headsets, the whole nine yards. I mean, it was probably the most professional thing I got to see. And then because I was a speaker and had to go the day before, I got to see them setting up the entire summit beforehand. It looked nothing like it did the day that I saw it, the next day, it looked completely different. So like they built sets and all kinds of things like around the venue. I don't know. It was a really cool experience. I don't want to just share mine. So I don't know. Well, there's talk as well. What about you, Pablo? That's what was your favorite moment from Sonnet? OK, so if I'm going to talk about the favorite moment, this is really, really tough because I was really, really excited to hear a little bit of the talk. So I was a little bit excited to also run the site event that we did have on the second date of summit. And I would say my favorite moment is when I actually realized that it wasn't just about the institution, but also about the community. So the whole atmosphere of summit changed a lot in terms of who attended and the dress code and everything like that. But not in a negative way, actually, in a very positive way, because we see that avalanche knows exactly where they're going. But at the same time, the community is still there. They still showed up. So I was able to meet a bunch of people for the first time. For example, M's, we got really friends. We had many, many opportunities to be talking. Also, Suka, who is here in the audience, we had many chances to talk and to understand how Team 1 was present in their lives. So I would say meeting the community in general was my favorite moment. But yeah, it felt really good to see the institutions. The institutions are coming, but the community is still there. And it's also excited to be part of it. May, it sounds like you both had a really good time. I'm a little bit jealous to be far. I was a bit apprehensive of in this space, because to be fair, I get jealous really easily of it, because I know of say, I was meant to come. I was geared up to come. I go, the hotel book, the flights book, my ticket's paid for I got everything ready to go. And then obviously had some stuff happen personally that I just meant I couldn't go. I was really hoping to be there as well and represent typical. But it sounds like there was loads of projects that showed up. There was even behind the build as well. We saw for the builders for the first time, I got to see Raff's face and the face and the voice just doesn't match. Am I the only person that thinks that? Or is that just me being like? Oh, yeah. First day I saw him. Yeah, he's streamed. So we've seen him, but I feel like meeting people, meeting the animals and realize, right? But the animal that Raff is, gave everybody Pokemon cards that are dinner except for me. I got a business card with his real name. So I now know his actual name. So it's online if you guys want to go find it. But man, Pokemon cards, not for me. So yeah, he was cool though. He was so nice in person. Remember's everything that you've done for the Grotto. The last event, Pavlik's was talking about Pavlik's not a DJ at was such a good time. But I'm on mode it a little bit because Raff was hosting that event by himself. Team one was there to help, but it was Raff's thing. And I don't think people know this, but Raff does everything himself pretty much. He just doesn't really trust the help. And so I just took everything out of his arms and started to be the little event the host that I am. I was like setting out everything and like putting things around because I just felt like he needed to like mix with the community and like talk with people and stuff. And I don't know, such a good like wholesome person to just like be around, you know? Like so nice to meet him and personally, like for the first time. I realized I was off. I was on mute then. I didn't really do much. I was talking to myself in the background. I am some of the first time I've done that to be fair. Let's be honest. But I mean Raff's like such an ice guy. I'm always in the DMs with him. And obviously I built that little thing and he was really supportive. So I wish I'd have been able to meet him in person. But did you guys actually get to meet Kevin? Kevin or Larry? Because like that had been the highlight for me. I'm not gonna lie. No, I was in the very front row but because I got the speaker job, I didn't get my media badge. So I wasn't able to go into the VIP room. Sad. What about your parents? Did anybody else in here get to? So I didn't meet Kevin but I was able to be at his speech, his talk, which was extremely fun to be honest because I wasn't expecting him wearing like 11 million dollar keychain into the venue. So he was a lot about tokenization and our debut away in the end. But he was super fun to watch. Like I didn't have the opportunity to meet him. But I was able to talk to Emin a little bit about my goals within Avalanche and the whole ecosystem. So this was a very, very big part to me. I mean, 11.6, was it 11.6 million dollars around his neck? With like something like that. Like Tiffany and Chris did. Y Gold, one and one. Yeah, he had two like $15 million watches on. He had like six arm guards. Sticks. Six arm guards, six. He got millions of dollars on his butt and bragging about it on stage. And then when he got off stage, everybody kind of like swarmed towards him a little bit. Like, you know, people do that. So they like took him out the side through the back door and like, so like the VIP room. Yeah, I don't know if he was really cool though. Like his thoughts on crypto were actually like like his thoughts on why he actually thought clarity should pass. Okay. It was actually really interesting because for him, he's like, for me, I have big money. I have finances. Like if compliance is telling me not to invest into this, I'm not going to. And so that's why he feels the need for compliance. And so I thought it was really nice to kind of hear somebody at such a high level talk about why that was necessary. So I also got to meet Joey Pinoli down here. Hey Joey. Same. It was great. What's up everybody? How's it going? Hey man, how you doing? It's good to see everybody here. So come on and watch your, what's your, what's your favorite story Joey from from summit? Obviously, I wasn't there. I know, I know that was like the worst part of summit is that I wasn't there. But yeah, still disappointed you weren't here. But what was your favorite? Come on, tell us your favorite story. I have to say like the whole summit overall was just a huge success. It was just a whirlwind of announcements, great speakers, panels all throughout the week. But probably I'll piggyback on what you guys were mentioning before. I think the coolest part for me individually was when Kevin was there with his one-in-one, Otani, card wrapped around his neck. The dude just casually having like $13 million on his body, just hanging out in the summit was pretty cool to me. I bet it was good as well being on slide mingle with the community a little bit. Because you're always like talking to builders behind the scenes and in the back tunnels. But it was nice as well to be able to speak to some of the builders. I mean, you always talking in chat, but like, I bet it was nice to sit down and speak to people face to face a little bit. Oh yeah, that was probably my favorite part. I get to talk with a lot of you guys on a day-to-day basis, but being able to meet in person and kind of put the face to a name, like that was really special for me. And I loved every bit of it. Yeah, I would say that's probably my favorite part of the whole of that, not the imagine it. I mean, I wasn't there. So yeah. No, obviously. They're in theory though, because we talked about it. I was there, yeah. It's higher time. We took all these pictures. We were putting typical stickers on everything. I gave somebody from open source in my hotel stickers. He was like, well, what are you doing for a living? And I was like, oh, I work in crypto. And he was like, oh, I work out open source. What do you think about AI? And I was like, oh, love it. And so yeah, I gave him some typical stickers. So that's crazy. You're welcome. You guys have a great day. So yeah, so now someone at open source chat, G2P, G2K, whatever, because I always say it wrong. They got stickers from typical. So, and I just hand in your mouth to people. I'd be like, oh, you see stickers. Here's some stickers. Pavlik's was like, here's some stickers. I think everybody's laptop somehow got a typical sticker placed on it. Not sure how that happened. Was not documented on film. Yeah. And to add something into that, my journey started when I put some stickers into my luggage. So whenever I just got into JFK, like, my luggage was clearly that one because it was full of typical pickles all around. So that was the first moment that we actually realized I had typical stickers all around. And then of course, at Summit, we handed typical stickers to people like as a first interaction that people wanted to use. I mean, did we give out 300 stickers? Yeah, something like that. But it was really fun. It was really fun. I mean, it was on the street. So, we saw quite a few as well on the signline people were posting on the signline, which was pretty cool. So, was there in spirit? We were all there in spirit. The typical team came out in force, and you and Pavlik went out. Not only they're representing team one, team one Brazil, team one US, being an MC, DJN, but you also handed out a bunch of typical stickers. So, if you did get a typical sticker, please, please do share on the signline. I would love to see them. Tommy, what you're handling, mate? Open mic, just go for it. Yeah, you know what I do, though. I end up just throwing myself out there, pushing my way to the front. And I got to just give my two cents here. Well, maybe it's one cent, but I got the one arm. The one arm wanders, what they call me. But it was amazing. Some it was incredible. The biggest thing for me was that it gave me confidence moving through this world. I thought that I would have to, you know, Uber everywhere, and then it was going to cost a lot of money and all this stuff. And from JFK, I took the subway. I walked the rest of the time, took the subway back. And so doing that and having no prosthetic, you know, I'm a guy who's in the middle of doing physical therapy, trying to get my life back. And I remember turning around and seeing Brandon right away. And then William Hillbilly was right behind him. And then I actually walked in right behind and William Hillbilly. And I just couldn't believe it, you know. And the next thing, you know, I'm eating rats in the flesh. And I'm like, what? And Van is there giving out merch with people. And it was awesome. I didn't know who to get a picture with first. And I was running around and it was me. Then I saw you as a, I saw Van Ho and we got a selfie. We were probably the first people to take photos. I've read and tackled him. Do you know how tall he is? He's like seven foot tall. Like, man, I saw the pictures of, I think it was a selfie with you and Tommy or Tommy and somebody else. And I was like, even that person's really, really small or Tommy is like a big guy. I'm a little bit old and like everybody's so tall. Like I was like, just looking up at everybody. Tommy, like immediately he said Van Ho and I know his voice, right? Like I turn around and I like line back it. Like defensive line. Almost knocking him over because I was like, God, it's been like what, like three years since I've known Tommy, like he used to come into like love monster game nights with me. Like, I don't know. It's so special meeting you by the way. I'm sorry to interrupt your like, you're curious. But I'm just so happy to meet you. You have no idea. No, I appreciate you. I remember those days too. I remember I flipped her shoulder one time and brought that up to you. I was like, but yeah, there was gribly and Quinn. And I just wanted to say that like, to be able to like walk from one venue to the other. And when I first walked there, I saw a dumpster. And so one of the first encounters I had was like, is there a dumpster outside the venue? And that kind of like, I talked to the guy that was actually building nearby. And it's wild. I've been seeing dumpsters a lot again lately. So anyway, you okay Tommy? It's just a little thing. So then I'm walking down the venue to the after party after two days. And I'm going by the little place. And I'm like, is this a little teddy bar? Because it was like neon lights out front. And I'm from Portland. I was like, what is this place? So first I walked by it. And I get myself together and I go around the corner, come back up, and go to like the 40th floor or something. And we can see the Empire State Building. And I remember seeing Poplux. But I didn't know who he was. They introduced myself. I saw Joey. Joey was dope. See and Joey there. He's like, I'm Joey. And at first I was like, Joey. I was like, you down under. And then I was like, oh, I was like, I remembered who's face I use in the video.
