I want to give a big thank you to everybody involved in bringing Fusion together. Productions on this scale are always the work of many hands & this event brought together a cool mix of diff people in fun/ unexpected ways.
First of all I would like to shout out the food & drink artists. Everybody stepped up into making something intentional & memorable while serving in the midst of a big party
@laurietrokstudios @jennifershinm @mindfulhospitalitygroup
A lot of gratitude to everybody who performed, both live and DJ. It was great seeing the night twist & turn between a range of genres/ vibes
@fataniminimalism @glo.tree @nopomo @phubhouti
Plus big ups to
@subsanctuary for making everything sound great that night
It was great hosting former locals
@maxincollab to join us from NYC. They turned the space into a trippy & interactive space. I loved the multiple delayed video feeds of the crowd
And a major thank you to
@davine2.0 for co-curating/ organizing this event with me. I loved leaning into her creative ear for collaboration & respected her words of feedback or reassurance. She brought on the drinks, visuals, encouraged me to ask Jennifer to come in-person & helped create our beautiful menus which is a detail that I loved. The night wouldn't have been the same without her.
And some final shout outs:
