Love that you spoke representing the apes at the Oakland panel Chris!! You’ve been a brilliant host at the Bay Area Apes SF meetup and I have no doubt you brought the same energy and vibrance to this event. I’ve met the Bay Area Tech Runs team during an event they organized in Hillsborough, and they’re an amazing crowd, so glad you guys got to connect 
There’s really so much we can do in terms of IRL events, both for strengthening community members’ bonds and for engaging the crypto-curious and even enticing the non-curious to want to learn more!
In terms of this would love to loop in @Vulkan who might be planning a local event of his own, and @ssp1111 who authored the IRL events feasibility AIP (AIP-64: APE Coin Festival - Bringing NFT Communities Together) for more thoughts.
The thought of all the crypto IRL events being held that we don’t yet know of excites me though, I wonder if ApeCoin DAO could collaborate with those event hosts as a sponsor or co-host! Might be a creative opportunity to allow us to host more organized, local events with bigger turnout while being more cost efficient- @ssp1111 would love to hear your expert thoughts on this as well 
Cheers to more ApeCoin DAO events IRL!!
