Hey, Casey, thanks for joining. Feel free to hop up on stage.

I'd love to have you as a major contributor in these deliberations.

Hey kit.

Kind of quiet today so far.

Hope you join.

Wanna hop up on stage and if you're if you're in a space to do that.

Hey.

Look there.

What's going on? Everyone's OK?

What's up? How are you?

Not bad, dude. Not bad.

All right.

Excited to be uh, you know.

In the space, how about yourself?

I'm good. Let me, uh, let me tweet out here.

That we're here and we're live.

We just had a super powerful session plus and I you guys are going to be able to see the the results tomorrow.

But where?

I think it's kind of fun with this is.

Because of the insane speculative bubbles that happen in crypto like 2016 to 2019 and then again.

2020 to 2022 people think normal business rules don't apply and we're setting something up.

That's just.

We're going to be able to succeed based on very specific steps that don't require huge leaps of faith, don't require personalities like Frank to gods, don't require any of the.

You know, there's something called survivorship bias, and I think that's what's been haunting.

Web three that everyone looks at these huge projects and say, OK, this is how OK bears did it, this is how the gods did it, this is how this did it, and this how this did it. And they wind up trying to do the same things, but they don't wind up working for very long. They work, you know, because.

It's not a mature industry and there aren't really bones around it. So what what Fwas and I did today was just really come up with an actual distribution methodology, which we're going to share tomorrow. I'm going to do a, a tweet thread on it tonight and anybody's going to be able to copy it and run with it. And I think this is really going to.

Going to blow up once people see that there's actually a new protocol and a new methodology.

A new method to this madness.

Yeah, no. And and that's. And that's something that I wanted like, yeah, I wanna enforce, like that's something that I'm working on right now, actually, Dave. Like I'm not like I got my coffee and I was like, you know what, let's get this thing cleaned up and work worked on right now. But I have, I mean.

I had a great call with Dave like like like you mentioned right and initially I didn't have a I I still want to say I don't have like a full perspective, but like I I understand my you know what I need to do and.

I just can't wait to like, you know, join the team and like, start working with like everyone else and, you know, like Joe Kidd, all these artists that I know and like, all that stuff. And like, like that. There's a lot of connections that I am currently just thinking in my brain that just can be made and there's a lot of stuff going on.

Yeah, the whole system super scalable and it's our challenge has been over the last.

I don't know how long, yeah, two years, 2 1/2 years trying to explain it rather than just doing it. And so right now it's sort of step-by-step, you know, we're getting the community together, so we're we're starting by.

Following the kids guidance on bringing together the one of one art community.

Yeah, kids really rugging. Looks like he's been having some some issues there.

So.

Kit or sorry, Baroness, and I've been farming. I'd like to hear your thoughts on the the tweet that's at the top.

I first purchased the gold brick of utility.

Ohh, there's a funny thing because I'm just trying. I'm still making my way through um, different idios of vertiges.

Sure.

And I just learned what bricks meant, um, in a slang term and but that's the inside joke anyways. But yeah, I I love how you wrote out the threads. I didn't look at the NFT program that you currently have going on and what that particular project is. But for just the standpoint, I do like the art.

So just the aesthetics, you think it looks cool?

I do, I do I it's very simple, very clean. Um, I'm not sure how he end up making making it, but I.

It helps me hyper focus on it and it just draws up a lot of thoughts, you know, that's what art supposed to do, supposed to provoke. You know something in your head, whether it's emotion or just a more questions.

Exactly. And and if you don't mind if I can speak on that like I mean.

I so hellbenders, right? I knew about the project and I knew, you know, the the Scooby circle stuff that was going on. I didn't know about Hellbenders. I saw like that school that David was tweeting it out a couple like you know, a bunch of times actually. And I was like, OK, well, he's he's doing some stuff and then he reached out to me and then kind of like we had that Twitter space, what, two or three day on Friday, sorry, where you described the Hell's Angels and how their recruitment works

Ohh so it's like, it's kind of like you add the name and the story like component like and it's like OK and then you add the art and it's kind of like.

I don't know. I I don't want to call it like D Gen art, but it's more.

Like we can pick our own characters. Like, that's like one of the biggest things. Like that's, you know, like you're basically characterizing yourself on the Internet, which is.

I like, I love that stuff. Um.

You know, a futurist. So I'm, I'm like huge on that. And if I'm just talking sporadically is because I'm extremely, very, very, which McCall it, sensitive to caffeine. So I'm going to put myself on mute for a second.

So you mean you're overcaffeinated at this point?

I had one espresso like or I made, I made one like espresso latte. Basically. I don't know what the, I don't know what they're called like. I guess a latte is espresso with milk.

Um, or like, I don't know, whatever. Whatever it is. I had that and now I'm.

I think that's called a cappuccino.

Is that a cappuccino? Yeah. I'm. I'm sorry. I'm not. I'm not a coffee person. But like, I have the press thing and.

I used it and steamed the milk up and just like you know went ham and.

Yeah, now I'm.

Unable to talk because I can just like talk constantly and you know, my thoughts are just string swing left brain center.

And understand well, well.

Um.

What we were saying while you got rugged um, I was asking the Baroness. And I've been farming about, you know, their thoughts on our first.

Our first item, our first acquisition for the vault.

So I've been farming. I don't know if you're in a place where you can actually where you can join.

But uh, let's. I'd like to hear your thoughts on our.

And our gold brick.

Hey everybody.

Hey.

How's everybody doing today?

Awesome.

Cool, cool. So the first thing I thought automatically was.

It looks clean and like a gold brick right, very sharp image. I love the way it it it, it gives its reflection off off the bottom right there as well. Might be kind of like a a high resolution photography, you know, portrait. So I like that.

That's something that I touched on a little bit in my space on Saturday, which brings me to my next point. I like baronesses, you know her, her little twist on that. As far as that's the lingo, I'm familiar with what it means to so.

I like that part, but yeah, no.

It it definitely.

Sparked thought like like a I believe it was kid or or flaws was saying earlier as soon as I seen it, it made me think and what it made me think of personally was a technology that I.

Uh came across through a podcast about a couple weeks ago and kind of touched on Saturday during my in in my space, which is PDT. So I don't know if you guys are familiar with them, but it means a physically backed token. So I was like in my mind, I know you guys have mentioned that you guys are a Colorado collective. The Dow was registered like that. I know you guys have said that you want to do art gallery and everything else and I was, I was just kind of wondering like.

Did they purchase a gold brick or are they planning to purchase a gold brick and use that as some type of like asset within the Dow to you know.

Getting value in, in, in and whatnot for that, but.

That it, that was the first thought that I thought honestly, you know, physically backed tokens and the technology that you could do by attaching a real world, you know, items to, you know, NFT's. Now on the other hand, like I said you know, gold.

Gold is a, you know, store of value. It's something that is precious. It's something that you know a lot of people cherish. Not necessarily.

Always as a monetary thing, but you know, value through jewelry and and sentimental values and whatnot. So in different cultures use it and like it for different reasons. So it definitely sparked thought. But like I said my, my first thought it took me to technology to physically backed tokens and it made me think actually what are you guys doing with it? So I'd like to hear that or you know, what was the purpose behind it?

Sure. Well, I definitely do not intend to have a vault with a lot of physical stuff in it.

Whether it's real gold bricks or.

Uh.

Or.

You know, painted gold bricks.

Don't.

Yeah, we definitely don't plan to to have a lot of stuff now I am a big fan of.

Art.

Irel art that goes along with NFT's, in fact, when.

When the kid and I first met.

Down in Austin, I actually bought a yeah, kids having problems on Twitter. Hopefully I'll make it up here.

Yeah, I've invited him a couple times.

Here it comes. So I mean, the thing that impressed me most about the kit when I first met him was his ability to motivate. Like he he onboarded flaws onto, you know, getting his own work out there. But then when we were in this Community hacker house, it was like basically anybody who showed up.

Was put to work as an artist on these community canvases, and I wound up buying one of them, which wound up for a couple grand, which wound up.

Getting some some people to Miami who wouldn't have made it to Miami and.

It's just, it's that the art is completely interwoven with the community and the the things that people are making aren't distinguishable from them as people. So that's.

That's how I look at this overall. So yeah, I.

I could see owning a brick, you know, I could see owning this. And I do hope someday we have creator houses, hacker houses.

Basically Co living coworking spaces everywhere um where you know we just we have a whole new Society of all that. But given that I'm I'm not planning on having some vault somewhere where all of the hellbenders are, is is physically preserved. Now back to sort of what.

What?

What this meant to us.

And we were talking about, I mean, first of all, it was really about the community. I mean, we wanted Brick Astley.

To be part of this and one way to to bring him in is to show that we appreciate his value. And that's one of the main things we're going to be doing. And you know, we're going to be posting other stuff up top. Kid can put stuff up there and we can talk about what to buy, what's in the budget, what's next, which is a big topic for today, but for me, conceptual art.

I don't know if you guys have ever been to Marfa, Texas, but that's like the perfect place to look at a lot of these things in the 60s.

Various artists started buying up parts of this.

Basically cowtown. I mean it was just, you know, this one, it looks like an Old West town with bars and everything else. And there used to be the apparently the Navy has a cavalry and that's where the Navy cavalry was was based. So there was this huge area of barracks and these artists just bought them. There's all of this amazing art just everywhere and you're immersed in it and.

Houses were turned into galleries, but houses were also turned into art and you just get this sense of living in.

An intentional space, like someone wants you to step back from your day-to-day.

Just moving through life at whatever pace you're moving it through and taking everything for granted and something just stops you. And for me, there are a couple things that stopped me on this piece. One, as I put there was the name, so gold brick of utility. Like there's nothing that bugs me more than people talk about their NFT collection having utility. And what that utility normally is is staking or this or that. And Frank to God's has said the most important thing.

The most important thing you can do for a collection is increase the floor price. And that just becomes, you know, all of these things become about what you're going to get out of it. Where is this gold brick? I mean, it is a brick.

It's not actually a gold brick, and gold bricks are things, but it's a brick painted gold. It actually, I think it is a, as you said, I've been farming a very striking photograph. You know, the lighting's nice.

Gold itself is untarnished able this isn't.

And it's attractive, but for me it just sort of and then you know, as I said in terms of showing this fake world of hellbenders, this which a different artist generated.

It fits into the world, you know. There's just something about it that, as you can see if you compare the two images, the gold bricks, these could be gold bricks, or these could be fake gold in the background of this hellbender, which anybody can have in their backgrounds when they meant the hellbenders. And then the final part of it I'd really recommend if you haven't watched it.

I really recommend you.

Watch what's it called money heist.

Because.

It's.

The most incredible? Like Ocean's 11 style.

Caper series. But it's so intricate. The characters are so great, and the way it plays out over the course of the seasons is incredibly compelling. And it's also really super populist in the old way and the old meaning of populist meaning. You know, auntie the man pro the people. And there was just, I'm not going to tell you what happens in it, but it just really reminds me of.

The final season of money heist. So that's what came into it for me. I'd like kid for you to tell us a little bit more about Brick Astley, some of his other work you know and and how you're starting to go about.

The task of curation.

Sure, I.

I personally, you know, the piece itself wasn't what I was necessarily after we struggled to find anything on his primary because he was sold out on a lot of his conceptual photography, but.

The brick is this new branding pieces that he does, but the reason I wanted to purchase that piece was the artist behind it and what he provides for the ecosystem. He's a Co host of Soul City radio which is the longest active running consistent Twitter space about Solana NFT's that are more one of one Art Center and he's also does a YouTube channel with exchange dot R.

He's been active in the space. He came shortly after I did so. He's been around a while with Solana and just very well known. But he's also just a really good person. He does charity cleanup days. He's a really big advocate of environmentalism.

Like when when me and the kids go like outside, we see trash, we say we better pick it up because brick would be happy with us. You know, because that's the mark he's left, like all my life and motivating me to pick up after myself better and take care of the planet. So there's just so many reasons why I really want to, you know, in the price point was a good entry for us to make a first selection just to get, because that's to me, I would love. There's a lot of pieces of art that I would love t

Art and I have some more artists in mind that are more abstract or or things of that nature. But I to me it seems wise for the first artist that we collect for for the gallery to be people that are extremely active in the space and really prevalent members of this ecosystem. And to me there's no better example of that than brick and any of the members of Soul City radio.

Yeah I I mean I gotta agree on that one soul City radio is how a lot of these one of one artists and you know like that I know like sentient shapes like the the lounge is like you know the the spot to be at if you want to you know expose your one of one art and I didn't want to say kid and David you guys don't mind I have my friend in the Twitter space right now he's like an IRL friend that I onboarded onto crypto.

Um, he's still learning his ways, but he has an exchange art thing now. So I'm like super proud of him, but it's a mill right down there. But he's he's like a legitimate artist, like I've never seen.

You know, he shoots like album covers and stuff like that and he wants to breach into web three, so definitely inviting him into like the discord and we're gonna do some stuff with him too, hopefully.

And I know he wants to come up and speak, but he's at work right now.

OK, I just sent him an invite, but can you maybe is is there a tweet you can put up with the top and we can?

Even though he can't chime in, I think we should.

Talk about his work and and see if there's.

Something we we might want to collect for the.

Yeah, I mean, this one right here, corporate clown. I think this is like, exactly what I was like when you were talking earlier. I was like, damn, I was looking at his artwork and I was like, wait a second.

This is like you know, I don't want to say we're anti establishment or you know like whatever like crypto, yes does have that sort of angle but.

Exactly.

Fuck yeah, what do you think the hellbenders are? We're outlaws.

So, I mean this is something that like, you know, something that he's created. So, you know, just that's like one of like his many pieces of work. But I mean man, I, I like, I gotta tell you like, I mean he's a, he's a real one. I mean like, you know, kid, like you know, when I met you, like, it's like it was that connection, you know what I mean? Immediate.

So.

That was like a casual show for my buddy right there. But like yeah, I think that's what we should buy, honestly, because it looks hilarious. And fucking corporate, corporate clowns, honestly, to be quite honest. So.

Love them.

Well, I just hellbenders just.

Tweeted that.

And.

People can start chiming in. I love it. So this is, um, actually a canvas, I take it.

Or was this, I guess we can't ask a lot of questions there, MIL, but well, let's look at the other one. I think you said you have two up. No, they're both the same one.

I believe there is an addition of five. Let me just double check. I'm going to exchange right now.

Yeah.

Umm.

Series is last place.

Ohh, so you have. OK, there's five editions and they're all the same, I think.

Yep.

Oh man, I wish you'd come speak up your mail. I think he's so he's at work right now. He should be off in like the next 30 minutes or so, so he'll probably come up and speak.

Yeah, that's cool. No, we'd love you to to share your own vision.

Well, that's awesome. Well, we got Blake Peterson joining us.

You're welcome to to hop up on stage. I'll may as well reset the room and ask people to to start retweeting this. So what we're doing every day is.

Finding art as well as finding projects. Um doesn't all have to be one of one art. It can be pretty much anything. For good, we also got.

Artificially inclined to.

Artificially inclined.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I love this. I love I love your your banner. Like holy crap. Like these are crazy.

Yep, that's good stuff. So I I love that. So I'm going to just quickly explain what we're up to, what we're doing here. So on February.

3rd that's 232323 happens to be the number of dischordia according to William Burroughs.

On 2/3/23 we're going to be launching Hellbenders, which is this major collection drawn by our a very good friend Nat Jones, who's professional illustrator. He's illustrated the spawn, Frank Frazetta's death dealer. Bunch of really good stuff. Awesome. The brick just joined. Well, the bricks. Never heard what we're up to either, so let me.

Just.

Um.

Share just a minute what we're doing here with hellbenders. So Hellbenders is launching February 3rd, 2023.

It's a major collection. It's gonna be 12,000.

At.

A premium price 100 and 4999.

US DC and it's set up really completely different from what anyone has done before in a couple different ways. So first of all, we got a grant from Solana to build a mobile app and we're going to be building that completely open source. You're going to need to own a hellbender to get into the app. There's going to be all kinds of token gated media a lot, pretty much anything that you want to do.

On the network, you're going to be able to do with just a swipe.

In the wallet, so you know, marketplaces, trading notifications for how things are doing on other marketplaces. Wallet to wallet, direct messaging, live audio, video. So basically token gated the equivalent token Gator Twitter spaces, but with videos so people can share stuff, screen shares so people can share stuff. A lot of stuff that our company Scobee has built in the past.

But we kept getting really frustrated by.

Uh.

IOS and Android restrictions. We're still going to have iOS and Android apps, but we're rebuilding them after we get the.

The Saga app out there and we're really you know we're gonna also have.

Web connections. So basically we can bypass a lot of the craziness on on iOS.

So beyond that we have a protocol that's a royalty share protocol. We're going to share more about that tomorrow, so of the.

You know.

1.7 million or so 1.8 million that we could be.

Generating in this mint 40% of that is going to go to the people who you guys who ate in early because there's a fake ID which you're going to be able to meet next week.

And once you meet your fake ID, your hellbenders fake ID.

Um, it's basically like a white list. And you, once you have your fake ID, you can produce fake ID's for others and you basically build up your whole unit and you get a share of all the men's by the unit. But wait, there's more on this protocol. If you bring in creators, if you bring in artists who wind up doing cool stuff, you actually get a share of what they make.

If they're part of this whole ecosystem and you get a share of whatever gets minted by them. So bottom line is we're really moving social from.

Web two to web 3 by taking away.

All of the.

Advertising oriented incentives. So all of social media right now is basically one big machine machine learning system all connected together which is designed for your engagement and then inserting into that engagement.

Stream the messages that have the highest bids on them with the least likelihood to get you to move off of the social media platform.

We don't care about any of that. What we care about is.

What we want to do in our communities, we want to vibe with other creators and artists, we want to vibe with collectors. We want to build this out in a completely new way. So that on Salana is a lot for me, a lot like the post punk scene in DC in the 80s with Fugazi and Shudder to think and all these bands that, you know, we were all with. Or I imagine if you're a rapper in Compton in the late 80s, early 90s, you know?

The scene would have been that vibrant and what we want is for this hellbenders collection to be the way into that whole scene and we want to support it with incredible open source technology and then allow this technology out for anybody who wants to use it. So you don't need.

To use the protocol starting with where we are. But you can start your entire your own completely own ecosystems and own apps with all this technology. So that was the big introduction.

Very hard to explain. That's why we're really, we're really trying to show. And the way we're starting to show is by bringing creators and artists together, start building out our own collection and showing how we're we're supporting them. So brick, I would love it. I don't know if you're in a place where you can join the stage if not, if you don't want us to, but.

The hellbenders are getting all bricked up. We wanna hear from the brick himself.

Yeah, we really do. It's just, you know, who knows? He might be like.

Listing a significant other in a in a some sort of. He's already gone, so guess he's not in a position he's back.

Ohh I see. I see him still.

Yeah.

Twitter. My AM today, too. Like it does me. Yeah, I got mugged like five times.

Yep, he.

There we go.

Oh, awesome, he's coming on stage.

The break is coming up. How you doing?

Yes.

Ohh. And also, what's up Robbie? I didn't even. Yeah, I didn't even notice you joined. It's going on.

I just that's one of the homies from slow gods.

Alright, hey, one thing that we're doing is, um, everyone who comes up, we are hellbenders following hellbenders follows. Everybody who joins a space really want you guys to follow back. And we are. We do every day at 4:00, every weekday at 4:30 PM.

We give away a hellbenders, and sometimes we also give away one of one art. Today we're giving away hellbenders if you're still here, and this has to happen to do it. So we need 10 people in the space. You've got to retweet the space.

We've got to get 10 retweets and then we can give away this giveaway a hellbender. But brick, please come off mute and tell us about about your trajectory as an artist.

Holy shit, is this hellbenders? Ohh my ohh. Holy shit kid you weren't kidding. These guys are the babies. They man gets me so bricked up in here man. Just here you chatting like hey, we're going to make this beautiful fucking app for you to come interact and web three, I'm here, I'm all bricked up. You collecting my golden brick utility, man. You get me so bricked up in here.

Good.

That's the energy we need, that's where.

Tell it. Tell us about this golden brick of utility. What? What do we stumble into?

Ohh my shit man, you stumbled into the greatest brick tility and the whole brick universe. I'm telling you what these golden bricks, they only get air dropped as unsolicited brick pics to brick 101 collectors. So the only way to get one is by them all secondary if they come up on secondary. Which as you can see you got the only one that was there on secondary. Now that floor is 10 soul man, you just came up all night some nibbly bibbly. Let's get bricked up in there.

Yeah. So this golden brick of utility is part of the whole brick conomy, man. You're talking to someone that's been in the bear market, that's been in the bull market. Well, guess what, it's a brick market now. OK. So there's different types of bricks that utility, you got your gold brick and utility, that's the ever coveted one. Again, you can only receive that via A1 on one collection or someone sells it on secondary, the other is a silver brick utility. Now you're wondering.

What are these? Work. What kind of brick tility comes with it? Well, I'll tell you. 3 silver bricks equals one gold brick. 1 Gold, 3 gold bricks equal. Oh, the brick tility. I'm a host. You a drop party? Our long drop party. If you collect three of these gold bricks. Or maybe you want high video. Maybe you don't want to use it for yourself. Maybe you want to use that versatility for an artist that you're bricked up.

Well, you can gift it to an artist. Doesn't have to be necessarily either for yourself. Maybe you're just a collector, right man? There's so much brutality packed into one punch. Tell you what you might be like, Charlie Bucket. You just hit the golden ticket.

Yeah.

I love it. This is this is thing in the vault, and it sounds like we need two more gold bricks in the vault for us to get.

The maximum utility out of this is that. Is that right?

You are correct. So the way the brick tility works.

We're going to reach brick Nirvana.

I'm sorry, what was that?

I could play some Nirvana for you. You want smells like brick spirit, man. Ain't nobody wanted to taste any of that. That's that's foul fun guy. I tell you what.

But tell us more about this. So you can see in the in that background I put a I put up there next to the brick. So we have a stack of of gold bricks there. What what happens if we get a stack of three bricks?

You send them or you burn them. You can send them or you can burn them. You send them the big athlete also or you burn them and then for that you get your boy brick Ashley getting you all Brickley prickly for your drop party. Maybe you got our coming out. Maybe you're going to have maybe you going to have a spaces you need. You need a quick on host and you want to bring the vibes, you want to bring the anarchy, you want to bring the chaos and pandemonium. You hit your boy break up and we schedul

Party we get all that whole City radio network coming in, funneling in, man. It's going to be a routing, hooting, hollering about time cracking your bricks together.

Alright, that's perfect. So here's what we're going to do. So tomorrow you're going to see a tweet thread in the morning which is actually going to explain this protocol and the fake ID's, which I did a a really lousy job of explaining and I've never been explaining to everybody. We're going to have the step by step and as soon as these fake ID's are ready, we should have them. The engineers say that the website to meet your fake ID is going to be ready next week as soon as that's available.

They're gonna collect three of these bricks. We're gonna send them to brick, Ashley, Ashley and we're gonna have.

Meant party the billion Dollar bash where people start the process of minting their fake ID's. And just so you know, you cannot mint a fake ID without being invited by someone who already has a fake ID. So you got to have a fake ID to mint a fake ID for somebody else. You get to pick your own layers. You customize your own hellbender for this. Now this is not the final hellbender. This is essentially a white list.

But the cool thing is when someone minced their final hellbender.

Whoever gave you your fake ID, whoever you know introduced you. This concept gets 20% of that meant price. The person who got them their fake ID gets 10%, the next person gets 7%, the next person gets 3%, so it goes up.

4 generations to the OG and we've we've modeled this out all kinds of ways. The people who figured this out early and brick Ashley is going to be one of them.

Everybody here when this goes big.

You know you're going to be minting money without having to do anything. So that's the concept behind this. It's a whole new way instead of these. Like I freaking hate these discord grinds. I'm not going to sit in a discord and push buttons.

Just to please somebody so that they give me something that allows me to buy whatever thing they want me to buy. What we want here is this core community that already wants to be.

In a community together to have this connecting identity and by being one of the people who was vibing the hardest with kid or with me or with David Castain or with flaws, whoever figured this out early or with the Baroness, you know, they get rewarded for being part of that, you know, for being the fugazi in DC or being the Nirvana in Seattle and all the pretenders.

I mean, honestly, you know, Pearl Jam, all these others, you know, they would have, they would never have gotten onto the charts if there hadn't been Nirvana. And I know this for sure because David Geffen.

Came to DC looking to sign Fugazi and Ian McKay gave him the middle finger and said I got my own record company, I don't need, you know, a couple $1,000,000 from you. And he went back to Seattle and he signed Fugazi and our buddy from DC, Dave Grohl, who actually recorded all of the demo tapes.

All of the early Foo Fighters stuff.

Even before never mind came out, he recorded those in our basement.

In DC, we had this basement recording studio, so you know, and he blew up. And that's how the old days, it was all about the industry. It was all about who controlled the budgets, who made who famous, who got to snort the blow. That is not what's happening anymore. Once this protocol is out there, it'll all be.

Total 100% web three it will not be about.

Yeah, it was bad.

You know even about the big influencers and height masters who who right now run things, it's all going to change on 72323 and when it, I'm sorry, on three on 2/3/23. And what it does and what it does is already be too late because the whole all the fake ID's are all going to be minted. They're all going to be distributed. And when those, when the big men happens and everyone suddenly realizes what just happened, you know, it's like yeah well.

Cool kids were in here.

Six weeks before and you missed it.

So thanks brick. That's what we're going to do. I'll schedule this, we'll we'll buy a couple more and and you can do the kickoff party probably, right. You know, we'll do it some quiet time like when people aren't paying attention, you know, just before Christmas and and the people who really are paying attention will will get in strong.

Well, I'll say this, I'm in the DM's with Mel over here, who's unable to speak still, but he just called you a triple OG Dave, so you know you know your stuff. So.

Yeah.

Thanks. I appreciate it. So and and this was all like, you know before the web stuff and and I've been waiting.

For us to have an ecosystem, to have technologies.

That brought people together like for me.

Indie music did you know when all you needed was like 3 quarts in a Marshall Stack? So in college we had this thing called the wild thing jam and.

During yes, during finals week or whenever, everybody would bring their instruments. We had trombones, we had guitars, we had drums, we had sousaphones, whatever you brought out. And we had hundreds of people out there on campus playing wild thing altogether. And that is that is literally my vision for hellbenders. Everybody bring your art, bring your music, bring everything. We're going to have machine learning in the background, and we're going to create.

Just insane shit that nobody has seen before. And it's all going to be Co creative and it's all going to be based on the incredible talents everybody brings. So you know, this is just something I've been wanting for a really long time and mill, you know, I'm I'm counting on you bringing the noise along with.

Along with everybody else.

All right. Can we get?

Well, congratulations brick. You are officially the first artist the Hellbenders Gallery collected, so love you bro and.

Exactly.

Yeah.

Ohh, man, stop. You're getting me two bricked up. There's too much Web 3 going on with hellbenders. There's too much, man. Hey, this ones for David. Kathleen. Hey, you gonna be sliding my DM? You better. You better submit me some unsolicited break picks. You gonna slide in my DMS? Show me your break.

Google.

Robbie, we haven't heard from you and you're up here. Looks like you're an artist.

Can you can you put some stuff up at the top and and tell us about your work? Because you know you might wind up.

Following in the bricklaying yellow brick road.

Yeah.

After the brick Meister.

Yeah, I'm good. Good evening, everyone.

If you look at.

What's up, Abby?

Was this uh, what's up bro? If you look at our forces banner, that's made by me. So I mean, do I have to score from my account to post something to the top?

Whoa.

Yeah, I got you. I got you, I got you. Hold on one second. So my banner is actually done by Arab or AI or Robbie. Sorry, my bad.

Yeah, and he now he's doing some like, you know, more AI stuff, I believe. Yeah, it's all I work, but I just shared his most one of one of his tweets, I guess one of his auctions that was on this is an old one, man. Have you not been working?

I've been doing custom ones so like.

Ohh really.

Yeah, like I I I get a few DM's like, well, I'll pin one to the top real quick from like.

The team worked well.

Ohh dude, you stepped up.

Yeah, this one you always made by me.

Up into the top.

Um.

Yeah, I haven't really been uh.

Doing auctions, but you know, I get approached and I just do custom ones.

So it's more of just like, uh, a UI UX sort of thing. Or is it? I mean.

I got.

Like banner designs and things like that.

Yeah, I mean, look, uh, yeah, I got. I've made a few banners for people.

You know, just like if they hit me up in the DM like now I have like a part time job and like I basically trade a lot of the time as well. So like I only really do art and release it if like I have literally like no custom pieces to.

You know, but I have quite a few lined up so you know, just doing those as well.

Yeah.

Yeah man, I'm excited. I I mean, you know, I I purchased, I sniped that first exchange, our piece from 24K, but you know, it's all good.

He literally asked me that that's how the auction started. You know, he asked me to release an auction and he, like basically bidded on it, but then you bidded above him.

Even.

And then he, he just messaged me. I remember he messaged me. And he's like, dude, why would you do that to me? And I'm like, well, you know, maybe we'll own like 2. And I think you released the network two after that or something like that, I'm pretty sure.

Yeah, I had five. There was five networks in the collection and four were auctions. One was a giveaway.

Ohh awesome sweet. Well I will say this mail is checked out of work so you want to come up and speak?

On on the on the the What is the piece, corporate clown?

I don't know if you can hear me.

Mail you there.

Now I actually like to, I'd like to just get a little bit more into a Robbie first just to. OK, you're here now, so go ahead, Mel and we'll circle back to Robbie because what I'd like to do is, is go deep. You know, I want to make sure I really grock the artist and the work. So, but yeah, Mel, go ahead and share a little bit about corporate clown and your other work, please.

What's up man? How you doing?

Awesome.

Umm.

So yeah, I'm like.

Hello brother.

I come from like a photography background and just like design in general. So I'm kind of like, I kind of got introduced to like the web three and the AI art spaces and stuff, kind of just through, you know, doing my homework and research on a lot of stuff. And I think what really got me into it is like where I started with the kind of work that I was doing with this because these are all like digital pieces that I've done so far. I have some like physical stuff that I'm working on as well that'

These are the first couple of like digital pieces that I've done with a couple of platforms and I feel like with this piece specifically.

It was kind of just like me thinking about like, you know, this time of the year and it being all about like consumption and stuff like that. And then, you know, you think about these people who are like these corporate elites and execs, you know, they sit back collecting their money with a smile on their face. So I kind of think that's what like inspired this piece for me, just thinking about the consumer culture behind like the holidays, time and Christmas and stuff like that. And so I kind of

I put the torso on the person's suit jacket just to kind of represent labor and stuff like that and stuff that goes on in like factories, people working for little to nothing to make everything they things that we use and stuff like that. So that kind of represents that.

And then uh, I think the the styling behind it comes from like me studying art history and stuff.

Uh, when I was in college, so I kind of just wanted to.

Make it kind of in a way that represented some of the movements and stuff that I studied.

You know with the way that it is.

Painted onto the the platform or whatever so.

Um.

And a couple other pieces that I have. I don't know if they're up or not, but I got like a lot of different stuff like some of these pieces I've done have been like.

With me, like during psychedelic experiences and stuff like that, just having vivid experiences with that. So that kind of like inspires some of the work that I've done as well, so.

I'm just like, you know, testing out this new platform and ways and just trying out different things really.

So tell me more. So and where are you based? Where do you live?

I live in Atlanta, GA.

Cool. And how did you get into art in the 1st place? Like, what was the moment that it was like, OK, I'm gonna pick up a camera.

And take this seriously.

I kind of always been around art. Like I know growing up my mother always like kept art books and like coffee table books in the house.

Uh, we visited museums and stuff when I was younger, so she just always tried to keep me around that type of stuff, you know, learning culture and stuff like that. But I think the moment that I took photography and stuff really seriously is when I got to go to school overseas in high school. Like, that was probably the first time I had like a real, at least decent camera, you know? And I kind of took it over there with me and kind of, you know, just documenting my experience. And then when I bou

With the work that I had done. So I kind of just like, OK, I can get serious about this because it was something that I always, like, considered doing, but more so out of the hobby at the beginning. But it kind of turned into a passion as I like, you know, hone the craft and got better at it.

So I think, uh, just, you know, from that experience really was what got me involved with cameras. And then, you know, I painted when I was younger and stuff like that. I kind of took a little break from that to focus more on photography and stuff. So I'm kind of just like circling back on a lot of things that I did when I was younger to stay creative, stay inspired. So I feel like it's a good time to be.

Doing all that as an artist in general, you know?

That's awesome.

Yep.

Yeah, man, especially like, you know, I I noticed personally that during the COVID times.

And I think because I mostly like what I what I focus on were like my photography mostly is like portraiture a lot editorial like fashion editorials and stuff like that. So it's a little bit of like me trying to like throw in like color theory things that I learned and just focusing more on composition with that type of work.

And I got like a lot more of my photography on my Instagram actually, which is the same as my Twitter handle. I just been like sharing a lot of the digital art that I do now that I've we've rejoined Twitter after like 5 years. I kind of been off of it for a minute.

But I'm back now, you know, just to kind of focus on this stuff.

Well, it's interesting. I mean it's.

With the with Crypto Twitter, I mean it's it's kind of weird. You kind of just have to be here, you know, knowing I don't.

I never even open.

Instagram or any other social network anymore. I moved them to a separate screen on my phone and I just forget about them for for months now. So you know time to build up your following if you if you want to get.

Most definitely.

Collectors and you know, and we're gonna I mean, we're definitely going to collect, collect your clown. I think that's awesome and it fits.

Fits right into the vibe. So you know going here.

I appreciate that, man. I'll be honored. I appreciate that.

Yeah, I.

It looked like Kunal was trying to get up to speak, he presented.

Yeah, I just.

Did see that? I'm gonna send him another invite. Arrow, quick. Your mail. Thank you.

I tried that as well. I mean, so we also want to.

Continuity is really important, you know, and and building this this whole community over the long term.

And Kunal just absolutely blew us away with his work. He does all kinds of.

It's old school multimedia with everything from fabrics to cow dung, you know, stuff all mixed together. He also does fashion stuff. Really fascinating guy and and definitely someone we're going to, we're going to collect at some point. I don't know if he's.

On Solana yet and that's something that.

The kid and I have been talking about that. We've been getting all these great people up here on different networks, and part of our goal is.

You know, if you really want to be part of this community, just go ahead and take some of your stuff and and get it into the.

Into the.

The Salana ecosystem. So it's the top of the hour. I'm going to reset the room quick. Looks like we have a couple other people up here. So where we're hellbenders, we're launching February 3rd, 2023. It's going to be a big collection 12,000.

Um, it's gonna be a spendy one. Um, 100 and 4999.

But there's a big difference. Well, there's a lot of big differences. I talked about one before, which is that we're sharing.

The men.

40% of the mint price goes to the people who built out the network and got people in. So that's you know good $600,000 just going in to the ecosystem that that you guys are going to get.

But the other thing about this is it's actually a creator Co-op, so we want to have.

And an actual organization, it's going to be a Dow, but that Dow is registered in.

Colorado.

And we're going to be able to legally profit share of every of all the revenue that comes to the Dow. So every year, the end of the year, the Dow is going to vote and say, OK, this is how much we want to reinvest in R&D and art, in grants and building out the Community and this is how much we want to distribute out to every creator and every collector, so.

The way Colorado cooperatives work is you can have different classes. So we can say.

Everyone who's just holding, who hasn't actually produced, you know, anything within the ecosystem gets X amount. And everybody who's produced their own work, who's part of the ecosystem gets this amount, we're going to be able to vote on all of those. So it's a totally different way to do it that everything from the ground up is built for. And with this community, there's one other thing that I haven't even announced yet. You guys are the 1st.

We're hearing this, but we're doing Scobee as a separate company. We have investors in it, has all the technology, but we're doing something called revenue warrants where the.

The collective, the Colorado Collective, which is actually called Hellbenders Association, is also gonna own stock in Scobee. So if someday this technology takes off, you know, all the Web 3 mobile apps take off, all the stuff that we've been building for three years takes off. Everybody who's part of Hellbenders association gets the upside on that as well. So there's a lot there. We've been planning this for a long time and I'm really super.

Like you guys are here, so in 30 minutes at the bottom of the hour we're going to do a drawing each time. Our purpose of being here is really to get to know the artists and and creators at at a deep level. So one it looks like somebody we haven't heard from before.

Sentient shapes is up here. Poet, multimedia artist. Um, if you could put.

A link up on the Jumbotron. Um, put up a tweet and.

You know, please share a little bit about your your work.

Your story, what brought you here?

And why you want to be part of Hellbenders and why hellbenders should be part of you?

Hey guys. What's up, fam? It's me, Cynthia shapes.

What up, Cynthia?

Hey.

Hi for us, buddy.

How you doing?

I'm doing good. Um, honestly, I well, gosh, OK. He asked many things. So a little bit about my story.

I started last November, October time because my brother, he conned me into doing a residential mural for him in his condo and.

In order for me to get quote UN quote paid, he taught me about Solana and and he onboarded me to exchange art. So that's how I got started of being an artist on web three. I've been an artist for my entire life.

Without art, there would be no me. I've tried many times in my younger days to be like, no, I'm not gonna follow that art dream. But the less I do art, the crazier I be. So that is what art means to me. And why I'm here is because I love the Community Web three. And just like just now, Fuas invited me to learn more about hellbenders. This is the first time I'm hearing of it, so I'm really excited to be here and share with you.

Also, shameless plug, on Wednesday, me and kid on the Phoenix are having a united we art soul auction to raise money for the House of Compassion. So be on the lookout for that on Wednesday. And yeah, my website is almost done so as soon as I have that and it's not janky.

I will be sending that out to you guys too.

That's about it.

Well, I just took a peek at the link you have. And I love art for happy people. I mean, I'm just.

Yep.

You know, it's really interesting because it totally contrast this morning I'm in a I'm in a chat group with Vanth, which really has some amazing one of one art and they're they're built, they're doing a comic, you know, a whole graphic novel series and all that. But one of the artists there, one that we're collecting from, you know, all of his stuff is so depressing.

And purposefully. And I asked, you know why so sad? And he went through.

This litany of PTSD and depression and.

Um, OCD and all of these clinical things and.

And it's.

Art is art changes you as you as as you said and it comes from both directions and it's really interesting. I mean I think it's more powerful.

Then drugs, I mean drugs, you know, you put.

Inside your brain and they sort of force particular.

Chemical reactions, whereas art does the same thing, but it's really intentional. You know it's and we know from science, we know from.

Epigenetics that.

What is on the outside? What's in your environment and what you intentionally take in through your portals of site. Sense, taste, smell, touch actually has just as deep an effect on what your genes wind up expressing as what's in the blueprint of those genes. So I'm just super happy to have somebody here who's on the bat bandwagon of, you know, the art is also about happiness.

You know, it's not always about digging into your trauma and finding those gifts inherent in the wounds. It's OK to also, you know, be there. So I take it you're a generally happy person.

Wow. I really appreciate you thinking that about me. I could go into the entire lifetimes that I've lived in my beautiful 31 years. It seems like many more because I've been a drug addict and alcoholic's best friend died, got divorced, some dude, stole a bunch of money from my family and all my heirlooms, and I could literally keep going. But I choose to be happy instead. Some of my art does get a little weird.

Um, there's some art that's just for me that I don't share with others. But much of my art has to do with just the simplicity of, let's just say, a blade of grass, or a triangle or polka dots or a squiggly line. Sometimes art can be that simple and that profound, because simplicity isn't basic. Starbucks is basic, but a cortado is simple. So.

What a cortado. Is that like something you got to Taco Bell?

Um, it's like.

One ounce of frothed milk with one ounce of espresso and it's like the perfect ratio. And it's just a very simple drink, but it's not basic.

I just compare everything to coffee on my bad.

Wait.

No, I like this. So this is really, this is really important because I've been thinking about this a lot and and I've had these conversations like, you know, most visionaries that you meet.

Um, have a have a lot of trauma. Like when when you get back there and it's, you know, prophets and sages and Saints and almost all of them. You know Shaman, there's always that initiation that's.

Tragic, you know, but I don't believe.

It's necessary.

I just think it's more.

This culture has been the civilization, I should say, has been built up brick by brick.

To disassociate from.

There.

Inner world to disassociate from.

The truth of the universe, that everybody is connected and that.

You actually already know everything, and you have all the wisdom you're ever going to need in your life and the guidance. And instead, once it prevents all that, it's it's almost like the only way to breakthrough those walls is to do some of the things that you've talked about. Go through the voyage of addiction, go through the voyage of incarceration, go through the voyage of abusive relationships and.

That's the only that's not the only way, but it's the primary way.

That you can actually wake yourself up from the spell of civilization.

Is that kind of your experience?

I mean, personally, I can, I can, I can say this. So I mean I bought Sentients, one of Sentients, first pieces.

It's sloth.

I think it was the circle one, I believe because I was like trying to, you know, complete my quote UN quote circle of life.

But it is a circle.

Ohh sloth. Ohh yes it was sloth. I bought circle and sloth. So Sloth was the first one because I was feeling lazy and it wasn't actually a sloth. Like, I mean it was, it was the sloth. But like you know it's like a like sentience representation of a sloth, right? Like I pinned her tweet above but.

I just like, I saw like, I don't know, there was like just this like scratching of writing and like, I don't know, I saw like it like your your art style like immediately hit with me. It reminded me of like, you know and Mel knows this about me. I'm a huge key pairing fan. Like older artists like more like, you know I guess like Aztec or.

Inspired by like.

Like more line drawings? I suppose so. Um, I prefer those. So like more line art is like line art's like my way to go personally, but.

Like, you guys do crazy things with it. And yeah, when I saw sloth I was like, Oh my goodness, this is amazing. So I just put my bed out on there, you know? I kept on buying and now Santa and shout here, I didn't even know that you were hosting a space with kid because I knew I know kid too. So it's like.

Full circle.

And that's exactly the intention of all of this is, you know, the mesh, the web, the fabric of this community keeps getting stronger and stronger as the connections are made. You know, I met flaws and the kid at the same time. You guys met Sentient son at some point, but now you know, I already feel sentient and I are homies, so I would like since we're talking about fabric.

I do want you guys who who haven't been here um last week just to hear a couple words from Kunal because he Kunal someone we're definitely going to be collecting from as well. So can you take the mic and just share a little bit about about your journey?

I don't know if you heard us.

Well, maybe you can't get off me right now.

Well, we're 15 minutes from our drawing, nikit. We don't have price Waterhouse here. Do you have access to the tools to do the drawing?

I I'm not sure what the tools are, so I'm gonna have to go with no.

But if we can get the doctor, let me know.

Let me check if I can do it better. Picker real quick, give me one second.

Yeah, OK yeah, Twitter picker. I I didn't even know what it was. So.

Me either.

OK.

Yeah, it's Twitter paper. Yeah. Let me see if someone can send me the link for the the original tweet. I can put that down here and start doing the drawing.

It should be at the top. I'm gonna just grab it though.

Uh, hold on.

Um.

I will.

I can't join the space on my computer.

Umm.

Well yeah. Well you guys are figuring that out. Everybody check out the uh the I've just put it up on the Jumbotron. That's a flyer for the uh you know we are charity auction that sentient shapes and I are Co hosting. So uh yeah. If you guys are free Wednesday night join us for that and there'll be a ton of really great artists in there to connect with. And if you're you know wanting to collect or be a part of the fundraising, yeah they're great. It's a great opportunity and the all the funds ar

Feeds people seven days a week, no questions asked. All you have to do is show up and get fed and then they don't care what what you got going on in your life. So yeah, it's a really cool place. I served there. I had that opportunity to serve there multiple times when I was living in Iowa and became dear friends with the assistant director and yeah, just special to my heart. So that's why I chose that place first.

That's amazing. And when is the when's the auction?

It's Wednesday night from uh. I'll be doing the auction all day Wednesday. But uh, we're doing a space for United. We are. I'll be hosting a space from 7 to 9 central, so like 8 to 10 Eastern in the evening and to wrap up. So I'll have the auction closing as the space closes. Umm. And then. Yeah. And I imagine in my head kind of it being like.

A great way to collect a lot of art for for for really reasonable price and get some undervalued pieces from some undervalued artists, but also just be able to connect with a lot of really cool people because I think these kinds of, I think these kind of events bring out the real ones, you know like.

Do you hear at least the people that share common interests or passions? So it's a really good, really good spot to be in. I think it'll be a good vibe.

Awesome so I have a Technical Support question. I'm looking at this. Ohh there it is. God for some reason I couldn't figure out how to pull down on the guys and see the Jumbotron. I was just being ridiculous.

Alright, cool. Yeah, so that charity auction, definitely. Everybody join Wednesday and Hellbenders will be.

Supporting that will be acquiring for the vault.

So definitely thanks for the plug. So everybody I sent to foias, are you set with the Twitter picker?

Yeah, I'm just finishing up right now. Give me one second here. Um, it's saying that we need 10 or more retweets, but we have 14 and 13. So like, we're good. I don't know why it's being so glitchy like this.

Well, why don't we just go ahead and retweet some more, um?

Uh.

It looks like oh, maybe you actually have to.

Retweet just the space.

Um, because that only has five, I'm going to put up the link.

At the top.

I think you have to just retweet this specific thing, just the space.

There it is, right there. I found it. Alrighty.

10 entries loaded. OK, we're good.

All right, well, don't pick yet. We're gonna we're gonna wait 10 more minutes, because you gotta be here at 4:30.

Ohh excellent. We got a price Waterhouse just joined. Maybe help. Help. Rob will come up on stage for a minute. I don't know if kunaal if you if you've.

Got into the microphone or if um.

Artificial wants to.

To join the stage um Ohh good Kunal, maybe you can. Uh, it looks like you might have to go.

Um.

Hi. Hello mando. What's up?

Hey, um.

Can you tell us a just a little bit? Um, for those people who who weren't around last week, I'd love you to just introduce your art quickly put, put something up there and just tell everybody what you do.

OK. Hi everyone. Hi. Hi the kid for. Hi everyone. So I'm a fashion designer. I'm a multidisciplinary artist based in India. I've been practicing a lot for a very long time.

When I was really, really small. Like really tiny.

So I was. I was trained in all forms of art.

From chocolate soils and waters and everything. Right now what I'm doing is actually.

Um, to to study and kind of decipher various sort of material exploration with basically humble materials and found objects and use a lot of sustainable methods of recycling, upcycling and trying to deconstruct them and revamp their sort of potential so they don't end up in landfills. It's basically resurrecting their identities.

It's basically about finding their core values, their core potential in those materials itself. So this has been like my discourse or over two years work with this sort of material exploration and kind of enjoying it. This is one of the pieces which is I think it's pinned up, right.

Yep.

So yes, so this is one of the foundation pieces which I have and I'm an open see foundation voice voices, non origin object. Yeah. Thank you so much.

And is any of this on solani yet?

No, not yet.

OK, well, I really love that if if you know on exchange art or.

The kid can help you, you know, get into foundation, into a form function and some of the more exclusive ones, but I'd love to see your work.

On Solana, so we can collect it for the vault. That really is incredible.

So we've got 9 more minutes. I'd love it if.

Artificially inclined.

Maybe put something up on the Jumbotron and talk a little bit about your work.

What is up guys? Thank you. Um, I've never been asked to put something up on the Jumbotron First off, so I don't even know how to do it, man.

Ohh.

Well, I'm gonna look through what what you'll see is if you look at a tweet.

Ohh thank you.

In your timeline and I'm just going to do one of these for you, the one that's pinned and you do the little share button and you go to the very top and it just puts it up there, so.

Ohh that's crazy.

Yeah.

OK. Thank you man. So First off, I just wanted to get in here and just say how crazy and amazing I always find it. That this space is like the diversity of people and skills and abilities and everything, just every single day is just blowing my mind, to be honest. Like feel like there's not a space I go in and I'm not just immediately just enthralled by what everybody's doing and and like just the different nature of everything.

My name is Taylor Garrett. I'm a I'm an artist musician Dad.

All that stuff and I kind of got into a I art maybe six months ago or so, and I started, you know, I immediately found a lot of.

A lot of potential in it. And then I started messing with the AI prompting and and the open AI and things like that and.

So I just started trying to find a way to meld kind of my brain with my music and writing and animation and everything because I kind of one of those people that I may be pretty good at a lot of different things, but not awesome at one specific thing. So.

This seemed to be a good niche for me.

Yeah.

Well, it's incredible. I mean so that the one that's in that pin tweet on your profile.

How much of that did you produce with AI and how much did you bring out?

Into other tools.

So I am an Adobe hit so I use after effects for most of my stuff. I it's two different pieces. I use a lot of plastic nation with my art or like with the AI generations as you can see by a lot of the the pictures and stuff that I have on my page on the object page.

Um, it's that is what I think is spoken to me the most is is those and and so I kind of chopped one of those up and then I will chop up some really appealing like geometric images and things like that and then kind of throw some light at them animations and then sync them up with my music and it works. I've never been really good at writing A3 or 4 minute song on demand, but I am great at coming up with a 32nd song or beat.

Cool.

For a minute, something like that. All day every day. So these are a lot of fun.

Well, it's really interesting. So and this goes back to my hellbenders plug.

The long term vision is that all of these people in the app are going to have built-in AI tools, so you can basically no matter what you're doing, there are basically two choices of having it be something that you're saying directly, or uploading directly, or sharing directly or something that's a prompt and I'm really looking for.

How prompts actually you know, machine learning just just literally mediates the conversation. So the world's get Co created as people interact with each other. So the conversation with.

Sentient shapes is going to be different than my conversation with you is going to be different than my conversation with KC. And if all the people are in a room together, completely different things are going to be happening because.

The whole you know, history can be there plus you can bring in other influences. I mean I just it's we're almost there like I mean I think we're probably about.

Six months away from completely transforming.

The way.

Art.

Art exists, not just online. I guess this is the simple way that I can explain it.

Up until now, the Internet has been all about sharing media that was created.

You know, it might have been created online, but it's basically here's a video, here's an image, here's music, here's a book, here's a movie. You know what what's going to happen is very soon, it's going to be creations that could have only happened.

A.

In this.

In this ecosystem.

I totally agree with you man as I'm watching open AI unfold and like it's funny how there is a clear divide right now between the it's ability to reach externally For more information and not because I'm able to have it streamline my live music setup. You know I can ask it questions like what's the best way to run my MIDI in my DMX and things to lights and it it told me it did a great job of of running it but it got to the point where I was asking it hey can you can you make my DMX tracks to con

Sure.

Stuff. And that was where it was, like, sure, and it gave me just some fake info where it ran out of. But you're right, man, six months from now it's going to be a different thing altogether.

Yeah, and we're going to make it a different thing altogether.

Agreed. Thank you, man. Thank you so much.

Yeah. Ohh pleasure. And and I take it is your stuff on Solana now?

Of no right now I'm on object and just because I am straight up just shooting in the dark right now if anybody ever wants to reach out to me and I I could absolutely use just some guidance because I have not been in the space long. I'm just. I feel like I am a shotgun full of talent but I just don't know where to where to aim it if if that makes any sense but.

Yeah dude, if you have.

Artificial just send me a DM and let's jump on a call this week. And and.

I would love that, yes.

Then we'll we'll talk.

Thank you so much.

I was going to say the exact same thing.

Umm.

And both of you guys, I respect the hell out of both you and I would love that anytime, man. For sure.

Yeah.

Yeah, I just threw this at the MDM's open, man.

Thank you guys.

That's a that's a big purpose of this. We're we're going to suck all the talent from all the other chains, all right?

And let's not forget, uh, just before, I mean, cut you off there, David, but like, uh, let's, uh, retweet this tweet for the, you know, the space. I'm going to do the, I think how much time do we have? Like what, 2 minutes?

We got two more minutes for the drawing. I'd like to hear from KC um, because you you've you've been here before and I don't remember if you're, for example on on Solana, but if you could put something up on the Jumbotron and just because a lot of these people didn't get to meet you the last time around.

Absolutely and thank you so much. I will put up my latest and greatest which is not on chain yet and I am targeting Solana.

Beautiful.

Love to hear that.

So I just, uh, literally minutes ago completed chapter two of the Shinji saga. So I used AI generated images and created my own storyline to follow those images. And I hope you guys enjoy the story.

Wow. Well, I'm getting really distracted and reading it right now, so I'm going to stop.

But that's really cool. Thanks for sharing this. I'm gonna.

I'm gonna finish this afternoon and my.

So she just finished this semester, but my wife actually teaches.

And and at the university level, graphic novels, motion graphics, she's actually in the communications department, not the art department. So all kinds of online stuff, technology and all that. And she's always looking for people to bring in. So she finished her graphic novel thing this semester.

But, you know, she's she's starting to do like AI and all that. So I'm also going to ask if anyone's interested, just send me a DM and I'm going to connect you to my wife, because she's always bringing in guest speakers and guests, artists. All right, well, we are at the moment.

Alright, is it time?

4:30.

Yes, let's see who the.

Alright, the Twitter had, the Twitter picker has been loaded. There was 10 total retweets. So but there was 13 likes. So you know, that's kind of weird. I was like you know but.

Yeah, I'm gonna load it up right now, so.

Well, if you if you think you might not have retweeted, you want to do it now just so that you can make sure you get in here.

Ah, which one? The first one?

It is. Hold on one second. Let me put it up here right now. Give me one second.

Done.

This tweet right here.

See the most recent one.

Alright, yeah, make sure you've retweeted that one.

Yeah, I'm gonna load it one more time.

You know, let's go.

Alright, so we have 12 entries. You're in there.

Alrighty, let's go continue and begin the draw for one piece of some bricked up.

Hellbenders art, right if I'm correct.

Yes.

All right.

Ohh, I hope that was correct. I don't know. But let's go. The winner is sentient. Holy shit.

Yeah, let's go.

Yeah, I can't believe it.

Woo.

Oh my God, I'm so fucking excited.

I gotta give you a bigalk for that one. For real.

That's amazing.

Bro, what the fuck? I never win anything except for on web three. I think this is the second one I won. I'm freaking excited.

So you're just gonna?

Alright, let me tweet this out real quick. Hold on one second.

You're gonna DM me? Um, you're Solano wallet address. I'm going to send you a hellbender. So what we did is we.

That was a hellbender.

We pre minted um 666 hellbenders just to do is give aways. Now those aren't the final ones, but if you have one you get to keep that one and you're going to get.

A free hellbender from the full collection, but those 666 is something we called Hellbenders revival, and I'm going to send you a super Cool 1, right?

Right now.

Well, thank you guys all for joining. This was amazing. And tomorrow.

Back make sure you're following hellbenders and put notifications on, because Hellbenders isn't going to tweet a lot. But we're in. You know about.

8 weeks, seven weeks before launch, and.

Tomorrow I'm going to be sharing.

This whole fake ID concept and how there's going to be a social graph.

Baked into.

Uh, the protocol. So that on meant, um, 40% of the royalties are going to be distributed through this network. So you don't have to be lucky to win this, you know, just by doing what you want to do anyway, which is bring your friends into this amazing community.

Yeah, and uh.

We're gonna you're gonna be a big part of the launch, alright? Yeah.

I just wanted to say real quick, that's the oopsie on my the the Twitter picker right there. I definitely meant to say hellbender, not the the golden brick.

So, you know, just want to say that, but we're good.

That's yeah, we're keeping the golden bricks. Apparently we need three of them and then we gotta burn them in order to get get all bricked up. I don't care. I don't know what's happened with this.

Yeah, I remember it's, it's it's it's been a little bit longer of a space now.

Yeah, well, I don't know kid like this. This guy is like.

He's definitely gone into his own zone and I love it, so thanks for introducing.

Alright, love you guys and really hope to see you tomorrow. Have a great evening.

Have a great one, everyone.
