@0x63B6...073B
Appreciate your commentary, though i'm kinda confused by it. Seems like there is a disconnect between how we expect newcomers to interact with nouns. Are we expecting them to share their vwr somewhere else besides an onchain proposal? If so, there are plenty of people sharing their enthusiasm on farcaster, twitter, and IG.
Let me be very clear...OFFCHAIN happens with or without nouns. This prop was an invitation to make a difference in the lives of nounish builders that are already participating and believe in a greater connection...while also tapping into the momentum that an event like FARCON creates organically.
I encourage nouners to zoom out and see what's at stake for them culturally.

lol you misread my tone. We're all good, but don't mistake my forgiveness in the moment for acceptance of behavior. That whole thing really upset me and I actually did have to fix some of the arrangements after setting the table back.
But whatever. Safe travels and enjoy the big city!

@0xCEEd...D915
It is great that nouns has a significant presence already at FARCON this year, but i'd argue that specific significance is stuck in an echo chamber of relevance...and things like OFFCHAIN are the only appropriate response. I'm not one for competing with other events, but OFFCHAIN exists because what we want to see from our onchain experience isn't being realized or represented. OFFCHAIN is a cheap and economic way for a decentralized organization like nouns to capture cultural relevance while also empowering nounish builders...who have already done the work.
Hope to realign ideologically in the future. Appreciate your positive commentary on the Flowers for Memory stand experience you had in Idyllwild.

It's hard to justify fun until you are the one having it.

@0x6fB5...83b0
While i can certainly see the frustration regarding timeline, that appears to be the only real criticism i've fielded...and already addressed in multiple forums. Respectfully, nouns needs to let go of traditional timeline structure and learn to recognize good builders with good ideas whenever they arrive at the doorstep. Especially since a lot of us are doing this work up front, unpaid, with no promises. NOUNS has the ability to finally change that dynamic.
Additionally, to say that nouns is an afterthought discounts the work and excitement of the very nouns and nounish builders that are already a part of the core project team. We say we want new energy in nouns, more people bidding on auctions, and more people experimenting in governance. What better example of those very principles than The Park.
Just over the past year, Park members have made a big difference in the overall visibility of nouns to the global population. Not only have some of our members started building and winning auctions...we've sent dispatches to Uganda to celebrate a school that another Park member built. We did pop ups with noun all over LA (+coachella!) amidst working through the nightmare of a process that was opening a physical coffee shop. We launched a Newsstand with a newspaper and gave away flowers to strangers all over the country, just to try and connect with people instead of onboard them. We got NOUNS on a two page spread in Thrasher Magazine - the bible of skateboarding.
This is still a new world we are all operating in. Some of us take big risks in this space, but do so because we are attempting to build the world we want to see. We want that world today. Not in a few months when the social dynamic has shifted.
Ultimately, this is a budget lean prop that nouns would have already paid for through the auctions won during the process of this draft (7days). Nouns and adjacent communities stand to gain a lot of exposure to non-nouners and non-crypto people alike. OFFCHAIN is the ONLY event in NYC that is offering up our worlds to the general public, irl and online.

Wanted to welcome everyone OFFCHAIN and hope this prop finds you all well! I think our project represents a real opportunity to marry the counterculture of the onchain world with the nouns universe, especially when we all represent these interests in real life. We’re skateboarders, musicians, artists, and at the same time some of us are moms & dads, uncles, teachers... It takes a lot to coordinate something as special as we were able to do in two weeks, especially with most of our core team in all different timezones around the world.
I thank everyone for the criticisms regarding vote proximity to the event. I will say I’d love to see us come back to a web3 where we can can move great ideas at lightning speed. For what it costs to activate all these great partners and their crews, the cultural return on content capture alone is a value prop far cheaper than any traditional projects you’d find at the same scale in the normal world. There’s a lot to gain from this turn-key event especially for a decentralized entity that is selective about spend-to-return ratio, whether that is cultural capital or money in the bank.
Now that the TREV Talk is out of the way, I’ll be sharing a bunch of updates from OFFCHAIN as it stands (as of posting) with some changes/announcements the core team would like to make immediately.
1. We will no longer be presenting the skate jam with HIGHER. Some of our HIGHER friends will be joining us on the day, but just as friends! The event will now be now as the OFFCHAIN Skatejam and will be open to all!
2. We will now be allocating a portion of the skate jam budget into creating a GNARS approved noggle rail to be left permanently in for the local skaters. It will be the first nounstacle to be made in NYC.
3. We will no longer be using Noun Coffee for the skate jam. Instead, we will source local NYC bagels (it's the water they tell us), pastries, juice and coffee for our skaters and guests. The remainder we will allocate towards helping rail welder costs.
4. Our friends at BASED GHOULS will be co-presenting the Flowers for Memories stand, on the condition that I used dried (dead) flowers for the arrangements. I have agreed to these terms.
More news to come. Thanks again nouns! Hope to see you all in NYC! 🌊🌻
# OFFCHAIN NYC 2025: presented by UFO, Refraction, HIGHER, & The Park
**tldr** This proposal seeks $28,000 USDC to produce a multi-day offsite FarCon activation and livestream broadcast that spotlights the creative culture class of web3 with collaborations from the garden to the rave.
---
**OFFCHAIN** returns to NYC this May with a new format and a lot more friends. Over the course of 4 days during FarCon 2025, we'll be broadcasting a curated program streaming live through a new audio/video broadcasting mini app on Warpcast developed by UFO, powered by Livepeer, and built on Base. OFFCHAIN will feature some of the most creative builders still taking risks and creating unique experiences regardless of market conditions. OFFCHAIN sets the tone for our artists, musicians, and devlopers to feel inspired; interacting with each other while also creating a bridge betwen the Farcaster community and the yet-to-be onchain public.
...and yeah we are also having a party with loud music and cool lights.
**The Origins of OFFCHAIN** Back in 2021 during NFTNYC, Tile DAO and Squiggle DAO teamed up to create a fun, intimate party experience overlooking the Brooklyn skyline. We wanted a place to connect with all our new internet friends...that was more in line with the culture of our lives irl. The event featured runtime generative art projections that combined the onchain aesthetics of both DAOs, while also giving participants the perfect arena to vibe, chat, dance, and everything in between.

**OFFCHAIN 2025** will expand to include more of us uniting under one creative umbrella to get the most out of our trip to NYC, while also being able to bring the action to everyone else at home.
Our series will become a major milestone for media infrastructure through the onchain stack — showing what’s possible when you combine open video infrastructure (Livepeer), #onchain social (Farcaster), and wallet-native distribution (Coinbase Wallet) on Base.

# Featured Programming
OFFCHAIN 2025 will occur at a variety of locations around NYC with a mix of private and public offerings.
**Fridays at The Park LIVE at POWER STATION** The Park visits the iconic former power relay station turned state of the art recording studio for a special live edition of Fridays at The Park.
The building used to provide power to Manhattan’s elevated train (which is now the High Line), and was converted into this legendary space that inspired some of our favorite records growing up...and even some modern classics in the making.
We're hoping to tap into the creative legacy left behind from past performers like Nile Rodgers, Bruce Springsteen, Diana Ross, David Bowie, Paul Simon, Madonna, Herbie Hancock, Esperanza Spalding, Lady Gaga, Bob Dylan...the list goes on. Check out the full album list [here](https://powerstation.nyc/about). It's pretty wild.
*Invited Guests* Leon Knight (The King of Rock and Roll)
Derek G Taylor (The Park, Banks)
Josh Lippi (The Park, Josh Lippi & The Overtimers, Tommy Guerrero, Los Days)
Tim Anderson (The Park, imarobot, co-founder Good Neighbor Records)
Ben Schwier (The Park, Rhye)
Trevor Banta (Errorgardener, Thursdays in The Garden)
Glassface (tobi lou, Thursdays in The Garden)
HVDSON (Thursdays in The Garden)
Chic Bangs (HIGHER)
Nick Hollins (UFO)
Note: There is an adjacent video control room that controls the 26 (wow) ptz cams scattered throughout the studio, making for potential upscale in quality of brodcast.

**DAYDREAM with REFRACTION** Located in the heart of Greenpoint, Ponyboy NYC isn’t just a bar — it’s a multi-dimensional cultural venue where food, music, and design converge into an immersive social experience. For one day, Refraction will transform Ponyboy into an installation showcase of Livepeer's real-time AI Technology.
Ponyboy isn’t just a backdrop — it’s a character in New York’s nightlife narrative. It’s hosted everything from dance parties to underground jazz nights, and even a seasonal residency in Aspen, bringing its Brooklyn energy to the slopes. That kind of brand mobility and cross-market presence gives your event cultural credibility and long-tail visibility.
###### Refraction at Public Records in 2024
---
**Field Trip with Errorgardener to Brooklyn Botanic Gardens** Join us for a morning meetup in the gardens where we can discuss our lives both #onchain + off in a more personal setting surrounded by the new blooms of Spring. Afterwards, we'll get lunch and continue our discussions on how we can help each other continue to navigate this ever changing social dynamic at the intersection of art + technology.

**HIGHER Skatejam**: The annual HIGHER Skatejam returns with new layers: best trick contest for $HIGHER, surprise drops, music, and vibes. We'll be partnering with some local NYC skateshops to get the word out and make it special for all the skaters and skate fans.
###### FarCon <> Higher @ Venice Skatepark by typeof.eth
###### FarCon 2024 Flyer featuring Manny404 + Allstarz
**Flowers for Memories: Presented by Based Ghouls** After four seasons of listening to your stories in Denver, Marfa, Idyllwild, and last year's farcon in Venice Beach - the flower stand finally makes its East Coast debut. The deal is simple...Tell me a story and I'll make you a bouquet. Open to anyone willing to pay with their memories.
UPDATE: **BASED GHOULS** has agreed to co-sponsor the event if this prop passes...on the condition we use dried flowers. I have agreed to these terms.
###### Dried flower arrangement from Art Blocks Marfa 2024
***We'd love to potentially expand the livestream program to also include Nouns House + FarCon Summit, along with other adjacent nounish events.***
Producing events in a decentralized space has always been challenging to do alone. This time around, we thought to get together with our friends to streamline planning and project execution.

| Operations | 1K | Art Direction + Marketing Output (Flyer Designs, chyrons for broadcast, irl materials ) | | 1K |
| | | | | 28K USDC |
UFO has gone ahead and graciously covered most of their operating costs internally, bringing our project total down to 28K USDC. In the unlikely event of costs coming under budget, we will recoup some of UFOs initial expenses.

# Why is it NOUNISH?
*"do good with no expectation of return, create positive externalities, embrace absurdity & difference, teach people about nouns & crypto, have fun" - @punk4156*
To us, OFFCHAIN creates a new arena for onchain communities to honor the work that keeps pushing the boundaries of art + tech. Each of the featured events target specific sentiments shared originally in the quote by 4156. Some are familiar with it, but most people new to NOUNS are not. Certainly we can all agree that live music, flowers, skateboarding, coffee, art with your friends sure sounds like a lot of fun.
The events featured in OFFCHAIN are designed to offer an alternative path for non-crypto natives to engage in crypto culture without the tech part having to be the feature or selling point.
With that said, the UFO mini app on Farcaster is an open source repo. They're shipping it as a public good for the ecosystem which allows our more technically savvy audience to experiment and make it work for their own projects.
We’re onboarding artists, DJs, and creators from outside the crypto scene, but more importantly, teaching them how to continue thriving through participation and accountability. Whether indirectly or not, Nounish influence has already impacted this very prop, with many of the involved builders being a part of nounish communities or even nouns themselves.
Plans to expand #OFFCHAIN to coincide with other events throughout the year are already under way, with interest in broadcasts druring FEST Idyllwild, Art Blocks MARFA, and Art Basel Miami, giving us the chance to align nouns with more of the adjacent cultures that are proliferating their own narratives #onchain.
We can't expect everyone to understand what it means to be #onchain overnight, but we can still create bridges for them to cross over when their values/interests start to align. Let's show them the diversity of interests that can exist when we choose to see though the nounish lens.

I'm sure you can attest that the value of a meme comes from its ability to capture new viewers. Perhaps a reframe of your original concern would be to welcome new users and thank them for participating before calling them out for not adhering to an invisible vwr rubric. Let's be EXCITED that someone is signaling for the first time.
Also, it's literally Bloomy.eth on a nouns prop. Nice to have you here, legend! 🌸

**OFFCHAIN 2025** will expand to include more of us uniting under one creative umbrella to get the most out of our trip to NYC, while also being able to bring the action to everyone else at home.
Our series will become a major milestone for media infrastructure through the onchain stack — showing what’s possible when you combine open video infrastructure (Livepeer), #onchain social (Farcaster), and wallet-native distribution (Coinbase Wallet) on Base.

# Featured Programming
OFFCHAIN 2025 will occur at a variety of locations around NYC with a mix of private and public offerings.
**Fridays at The Park LIVE at POWER STATION** The Park visits the iconic former power relay station turned state of the art recording studio for a special live edition of Fridays at The Park.
The building used to provide power to Manhattan’s elevated train (which is now the High Line), and was converted into this legendary space that inspired some of our favorite records growing up...and even some modern classics in the making.
We're hoping to tap into the creative legacy left behind from past performers like Nile Rodgers, Bruce Springsteen, Diana Ross, David Bowie, Paul Simon, Madonna, Herbie Hancock, Esperanza Spalding, Lady Gaga, Bob Dylan...the list goes on. Check out the full album list [here](https://powerstation.nyc/about). It's pretty wild.
Note: There is an adjacent video control room that controls the 26 (wow) ptz cams scattered throughout the studio, making for potential upscale in quality of brodcast.

**REFRACTION AFTER DARK** Located in the heart of Greenpoint, Ponyboy NYC isn’t just a bar — it’s a multi-dimensional cultural venue where food, music, and design converge into an immersive social experience. For one night Refraction will transform Ponyboy into an installation showcase of Livepeer's real-time AI Technology.
Ponyboy isn’t just a backdrop — it’s a character in New York’s nightlife narrative. It’s hosted everything from dance parties to underground jazz nights, and even a seasonal residency in Aspen, bringing its Brooklyn energy to the slopes. That kind of brand mobility and cross-market presence gives your event cultural credibility and long-tail visibility.
###### Refraction at Public Records in 2024

**Field Trip with Errorgardener to Brooklyn Botanic Gardens** Join us for a morning meetup in the gardens where we can discuss our lives both #onchain + off in a more personal setting surrounded by the new blooms of Spring. Afterwards, we'll get lunch and continue our discussions on how we can help each other continue to navigate this ever changing social dynamic at the intersection of art + technology.

**HIGHER Skatejam**: The annual HIGHER Skatejam returns with new layers: best trick contest for $HIGHER, surprise drops, music, and vibes. We'll be partnering with some local NYC skateshops to get the word out and make it special for all the skaters and skate fans.
###### FarCon <> Higher @ Venice Skatepark by typeof.eth
###### FarCon 2024 Flyer featuring Manny404 + Allstarz
**Flowers for Memories: SPRINGTIME EDITION** After four seasons of listening to your stories in Denver, Marfa, Idyllwild, and last year's farcon in Venice Beach - the flower stand finally makes its East Coast debut. The deal is simple...Tell me a story and I'll make you a bouquet. Open to anyone willing to pay with their memories.
Who knows, you might even make some new ones.
***We'd love to potentially expand the livestream program to also include Nouns House + FarCon Summit, along with other adjacent nounish events.***
Producing events in a decentralized space has always been challenging to do alone. This time around, we thought to get together with our friends to streamline planning and project execution.
# A look at our Creative Partners

# So what will it cost?
After baseline calculations on a per event basis + accounting for international travel contingencies with regards to time proximy and gear, we've stripped things down to the minimum costs of execution. Here's where we landed and what we'll need to pull this off.

# Why is it NOUNISH?
*"do good with no expectation of return, create positive externalities, embrace absurdity & difference, teach people about nouns & crypto, have fun" - @punk4156*
To us, OFFCHAIN creates a new arena for onchain communities to honor the work that keeps pushing the boundaries of art + tech. Each of the featured events target specific sentiments shared originally in the quote by 4156. Some are familiar with it, but most people new to NOUNS are not. Certainly we can all agree that live music, flowers, skateboarding, coffee, art with your friends sure sounds like a lot of fun.
The events featured in OFFCHAIN are designed to offer an alternative path for non-crypto natives to engage in crypto culture without the tech part having to be the feature or selling point.
With that said, the UFO mini app on Farcaster is an open source repo. They're shipping it as a public good for the ecosystem which allows our more technically savvy audience to experiment and make it work for their own projects.
We’re onboarding artists, DJs, and creators from outside the crypto scene, but more importantly, teaching them how to continue thriving through participation and accountability. Whether indirectly or not, Nounish influence has already impacted this very prop, with many of the involved builders being a part of nounish communities or even nouns themselves.
Plans to expand #OFFCHAIN to coincide with other events throughout the year are already under way, with interest in broadcasts druring FEST Idyllwild, Art Blocks MARFA, and Art Basel Miami, giving us the chance to align nouns with more of the adjacent cultures that are proliferating their own narratives #onchain.
We can't expect everyone to understand what it means to be #onchain overnight, but we can still create bridges for them to cross over when their values/interests start to align. Let's show them the diversity of interests that can exist when we choose to see though the nounish lens.

**OFFCHAIN** returns to NYC this May with a new format and a lot more friends. Over the course of 4 days during FarCon 2025, we'll be broadcasting a curated program streaming live through a new audio/video broadcasting mini app on Warpcast developed by UFO, powered by Livepeer, and built on Base. OFFCHAIN will feature some of the most creative builders still taking risks and creating unique experiences regardless of market conditions. OFFCHAIN sets the tone for our artists, musicians, and devlopers to feel inspired; interacting with each other while also creating a bridge betwen the Farcaster community and the yet-to-be onchain public.
...and yeah we are also having a party with loud music and cool lights.
**The Origins of OFFCHAIN** Back in 2021 during NFTNYC, Tile DAO and Squiggle DAO teamed up to create a fun, intimate party experience overlooking the Brooklyn skyline. We wanted a place to connect with all our new internet friends...that was more in line with the culture of our lives irl. The event featured runtime generative art projections that combined the onchain aesthetics of both DAOs, while also giving participants the perfect arena to vibe, chat, dance, and everything in between.

@0x41CB...be4A
Would be rad to get some gnars involved with the skatejam, just need to figure out what that would look like. Drone shots via Dave Bachinsky would be awesome to try and arrange too...maybe make that a farcon exclusive that you can only mint at the skatepark.
Some of the skaters in NYC that are helping us organize might have leads on fabricators/ramp builders. Might be a good debut for the wedge to wedge noggle ramp obstacle.

> can we add a budget to send a couple of Gnars Skaters to represent Nouns there. I am bias I know, I want to go, but that just makes sense too

This is just the beginning. Day One as some would say. OFFCHAIN has the potential to be so much more than what can fit in one prop. OFFCHAIN represents friendship. It demostrates what building-in-public can look like when enough people believe in something. We don't have to wait around for someone to build what we want to see in this space.
We can just choose to do it.
# OFFCHAIN NYC 2025: presented by UFO, Refraction, HIGHER, & The Park
**tldr** This proposal seeks $28,000 USDC to produce a multi-day offsite FarCon activation and livestream broadcast that spotlights the creative culture class of web3 with collaborations from the garden to the rave.
---
**OFFCHAIN** returns to NYC this May with a new format and a lot more friends. Over the course of 4 days during FarCon 2025, we'll be broadcasting a curated program streaming live through a new audio/video broadcasting mini app on Warpcast developed by UFO, powered by Livepeer, and built on Base. OFFCHAIN will feature some of the most creative builders still taking risks and creating unique experiences regardless of market conditions. OFFCHAIN sets the tone for our artists, musicians, and devlopers to feel inspired; interacting with each other while also creating a bridge betwen the Farcaster community and the yet-to-be onchain public.
...and yeah we are also having a party with loud music and cool lights.
**The Origins of OFFCHAIN** Back in 2021 during NFTNYC, Tile DAO and Squiggle DAO teamed up to create a fun, intimate party experience overlooking the Brooklyn skyline. We wanted a place to connect with all our new internet friends...that was more in line with the culture of our lives irl. The event featured runtime generative art projections that combined the onchain aesthetics of both DAOs, while also giving participants the perfect arena to vibe, chat, dance, and everything in between.

**OFFCHAIN 2025** will expand to include more of us uniting under one creative umbrella to get the most out of our trip to NYC, while also being able to bring the action to everyone else at home.
Our series will become a major milestone for media infrastructure through the onchain stack — showing what’s possible when you combine open video infrastructure (Livepeer), #onchain social (Farcaster), and wallet-native distribution (Coinbase Wallet) on Base.
---
# Featured Programming
OFFCHAIN 2025 will occur at a variety of locations around NYC with a mix of private and public offerings.
**Fridays at The Park LIVE at POWER STATION** The Park visits the iconic former power relay station turned state of the art recording studio for a special live edition of Fridays at The Park.
The building used to provide power to Manhattan’s elevated train (which is now the High Line), and was converted into this legendary space that inspired some of our favorite records growing up...and even some modern classics in the making.
We're hoping to tap into the creative legacy left behind from past performers like Nile Rodgers, Bruce Springsteen, Diana Ross, David Bowie, Paul Simon, Madonna, Herbie Hancock, Esperanza Spalding, Lady Gaga, Bob Dylan...the list goes on. Check out the full album list [here](https://powerstation.nyc/about). It's pretty wild.
Note: There is an adjacent video control room that controls the 26 (wow) ptz cams scattered throughout the studio, making for potential upscale in quality of brodcast.
---
**REFRACTION AFTER DARK** Located in the heart of Greenpoint, Ponyboy NYC isn’t just a bar — it’s a multi-dimensional cultural venue where food, music, and design converge into an immersive social experience. For one night Refraction will transform Ponyboy into an installation showcase of Livepeer's real-time AI Technology.
Ponyboy isn’t just a backdrop — it’s a character in New York’s nightlife narrative. It’s hosted everything from dance parties to underground jazz nights, and even a seasonal residency in Aspen, bringing its Brooklyn energy to the slopes. That kind of brand mobility and cross-market presence gives your event cultural credibility and long-tail visibility.
###### Refraction at Public Records in 2024
---
**Field Trip with Errorgardener to Brooklyn Botanic Gardens** Join us for a morning meetup in the gardens where we can discuss our lives both #onchain + off in a more personal setting surrounded by the new blooms of Spring. Afterwards, we'll get lunch and continue our discussions on how we can help each other continue to navigate this ever changing social dynamic at the intersection of art + technology.
---
**HIGHER Skatejam**: The annual HIGHER Skatejam returns with new layers: best trick contest for $HIGHER, surprise drops, music, and vibes. We'll be partnering with some local NYC skateshops to get the word out and make it special for all the skaters and skate fans.
###### FarCon <> Higher @ Venice Skatepark by typeof.eth
###### FarCon 2024 Flyer featuring Manny404 + Allstarz
**Flowers for Memories: SPRINGTIME EDITION** After four seasons of listening to your stories in Denver, Marfa, Idyllwild, and last year's farcon in Venice Beach - the flower stand finally makes its East Coast debut. The deal is simple...Tell me a story and I'll make you a bouquet. Open to anyone willing to pay with their memories.
Who knows, you might even make some new ones.
***We'd love to potentially expand the livestream program to also include Nouns House + FarCon Summit, along with other adjacent nounish events.***
Producing events in a decentralized space has always been challenging to do alone. This time around, we thought to get together with our friends to streamline planning and project execution.

# Why is it NOUNISH?
*"do good with no expectation of return, create positive externalities, embrace absurdity & difference, teach people about nouns & crypto, have fun" - @punk4156*
To us, OFFCHAIN creates a new arena for onchain communities to honor the work that keeps pushing the boundaries of art + tech. Each of the featured events target specific sentiments shared originally in the quote by 4156. Some are familiar with it, but most people new to NOUNS are not. Certainly we can all agree that live music, flowers, skateboarding, coffee, art with your friends sure sounds like a lot of fun.
The events featured in OFFCHAIN are designed to offer an alternative path for non-crypto natives to engage in crypto culture without the tech part having to be the feature or selling point.
With that said, the UFO mini app on Farcaster is an open source repo. They're shipping it as a public good for the ecosystem which allows our more technically savvy audience to experiment and make it work for their own projects.
We’re onboarding artists, DJs, and creators from outside the crypto scene, but more importantly, teaching them how to continue thriving through participation and accountability. Whether indirectly or not, Nounish influence has already impacted this very prop, with many of the involved builders being a part of nounish communities or even nouns themselves.
Plans to expand #OFFCHAIN to coincide with other events throughout the year are already under way, with interest in broadcasts druring FEST Idyllwild, Art Blocks MARFA, and Art Basel Miami, giving us the chance to align nouns with more of the adjacent cultures that are proliferating their own narratives #onchain.
We can't expect everyone to understand what it means to be #onchain overnight, but we can still create bridges for them to cross over when their values/interests start to align. Let's show them the diversity of interests that can exist when we choose to see though the nounish lens.

Proposal drafted by Trevor Banta, Nick Hollins, Chic Bangs, Malcolm Levy, and Raf Kats.offchain-nyc-2025:-presented-by-ufo,-refraction,-higher,-&-the-park
Flowers for Memories - Marfa 2024&&TLDR: Seeking 1.111 ETH to produce the fourth and final ***Flowers for Memories*** pop up of 2024 in Marfa, TX during Art Blocks Weekend.
The *Flowers for Memories* stand was an idea I came up with earlier this year to coincide with the return of Trevor Traynor's irl NEWSSTAND...which we rebuilt in the back of a pizza shop during ETH Denver. The bit was simple. tell me a story about flowers and i'll make you a bouquet.
All stories were then recorded down in real time...frantically scribbled into a series of pocket books I keep in my apron. Never could I have expected the experience to be as intimate and personal as it became. Complete strangers sharing stories of love and loss. Many memories hadn't been considered for years.
Between Denver, Los Angeles, and my most recent presence at The Park x NOUNS activation in Idyllwild for FWB FEST, the *Flowers For Memories* stand has become one of the more unique irl applications of proposals in action. Through the symbol of the flower, this project is able to reach audiences that range from diehard crypto-natives, #onchain skateboarders, and coffee enthusiasts...all the way to retired Ukrainian women living in Venice Beach who will never sign a transaction in their lives. #IYKYK
Funding from this proposal will go towards the dried floral supply for the event, travel / housing, + documentation. Archive of all the floral events this year will be published in the upcoming *THURSDAY EDITION* of the Friday Press.
This project will be produced by Trevor Banta 🌊🌻
See you in the high desert! ⌐Ⓗ-Ⓕ
@0x7cc4...d553
The pizza box example was originally presented as part of an ask for clarification on "tangible value" and something we could probably add if that was a need/want.
This is a v2 of a previous prop, so we should expect there to be similarities with the original. Ideally, we can all recognize how much more defined and inclusive of the other adjacent nounish brands this v2 revision is, and we'd still like to add more. As a knowledge share, i'd love to see other examples of nouns props (besides nounstown 2024) that have tried to integrate as many different nounish entities in the specific ways that we will attempt to do here. Dreamland is more than just skateboarding and has endless crossover potential between multiple builder focus' like skateboarding and music...coffee...eSports...plants...art...and of course, tech.
If we'd like to more thoroughly refine details on achieving event specifics, that's a great note and absolutely heard! To what depth do these things get itemized though? Is it a screw for screw thing from the woodworkers or are rough estimates acceptable? Will we be counting pepperoni or is a quote from the pizza shop enough? Looking at some of the other nouns props, one liner category estimates appear to be acceptable, which is where this formatting was referenced.
In general, I think there needs to be some grace for event producers in this space to create a great experience and make it make it memorable for the whole. If everything gets programmed out, would a flex budget be allowed for fun surprises? Or are we to expect everything to be executed to as is? If there are any proposal budget guidelines that nouns adheres too, happy to reformat. Just let us know!

As an outsider to nouns, I’m trying to make sense of what the expectation was to involve Bob in the first place if it wasn’t meant to be an inflection point to onboard more of his peers. The addition of notable OGs that are important to the legacy of skateboarding should be seen as a win, just on the basis that they are interested in coming to play with us at all. If we are looking for tangible value as opposed to networked value, the media pieces and stories produced at this event should fulfill that request. If we are looking for more of a nounish physical product that people can take away as a collectable…see the pizza box collaboration example as a means to open our minds to different possibilities.

Ok. Let’s have some fun.
Thank you for your commentary bixbite.eth. Wanted to take a minute to address some of the specific concerns listed in post, but first would like to acknowledge what a great thing you did to create impact and awareness through pizza. That kind of direct impact should be applauded…but also encouraged more often.
Now, in regards to the food & beverage program, it should be apparent through a very quick browse on the website why Pizzanista! was chosen. In 2010, professional skateboarder Salman Agar opened the doors to the first Pizzanista!. The brand lives and breathes skateboarding culture and are known internationally. Their pizza box collaborations alone have involved many notable artists and brands that nouns would fit great amongst…if we just had a bit more creative intention. Imagine a custom Dreamland x Nouns pizza box collab that lives on the page and in the shop amongst these other iconic labels: https://pizzanista.com/projects/. It shouldn’t be a stretch so see the value of associating Pizzanista with Dreamland x Nouns.
At any rate, Pizzanista! Is already known to do special onsite events and have a mobile pizza truck and branded pop-up tents. They also have quite the social media network filled with skateboarders and celebrity types as members of their audience. While I don’t believe any of that should matter, it matters to some…so it should be highlighted that Nouns can only benefit from the greater network association.
As for noun coffee, the coffee brand nouns actually voted to create, we are absolutely thrilled to have them onboard creating the coffee program for the event. As showcased through curating the coffee programs at Farcon, FWB FEST, and their most recent pop-up in West Hollywood, noun coffee is a clear choice for nounish integration. We should be creating opportunities for them to thrive...along with other nounish brands in which nouns is the genesis point.
Obviously we all live in different regions, but when addressing concerns, it can be difficult to navigate when our criticisms range between cost of living environments. It is very easy to go out and throw a bunch of money at pizza and give it away…but consider the fact that most of the people making those pizzas are probably underpaid and aren’t learning anything about how the pizza was funded. This is an opportunity to expose nouns to audiences beyond the onchain circle, while using skateboarding as a through line.
There is a break in the cultural influence that nouns is capable of repairing and we can address that by empowering the people and brands we believe in. As a veteran Event Producer of the music industry that has thrown large events all over the country (USA), I can assure you that $16k food & beverage program is incredibly lean.

>
> The idea of paying to renovate someones personal property for a one day event just does not excite me. It's also a bit concerning that this proposal ask keeps getting halved, gives off the impression that the budget was inflated from the start. I think the budget is still a bit inflated.
>
> I would be keen to support a side event but within reasonable costs..... example I'm not sure how catering of pizza & Nouns coffee costs $16k, even if you include alcohol it shouldn't be that much. We did a prop for Lil Nouns where we donated 100 large pizza to two homeless shelters in Austin and it was ~$1900. I'm also wondering why the pizza would be ordered from a location thats almost 2hrs away from the event, surely there should be options closer? Correct me if I'm wrong but this is the pizza place: https://pizzanista.com/order/ - I wanted to check it out to see if they have gluten free options, they do, but I was a bit surprised by distance of the shop to Vista, CA.... unless is there a plan to have them setup a popup and make the pizzas there on demand? If so, that should be stated. Overall I think $250k for a one day event, where the majority of the costs are going towards admin and renovating personal private property, is not a great use of DAO funds... and for that reason, I'm out.

@0x65A3...1D63
Respectfully, The Park and its members have done more to proliferate Nouns to non-crypto natives than any other Art & Music collective within this sphere...and they do it unapologetically from the love of their hearts.
As someone who is both highly critical of the Nouns ethos while at the same time recognize the innovative potential that the Nouns community can offer the world beyond this small quorum of onchain enthusiasts, it's communities like The Park that show up to bridge that understanding with heart, intention, and a whole lot of caffeine.
If Nouns wants to proliferate whatever it is you all do here, i'd start by meeting people where they are...and that is offchain at events like FEST, but also at the skatepark, at the coffee shop, at the newsstand, in the garden, in the studio, on the playground...I could go on.
Real ones know. ⌐Ⓗ-Ⓕ

Fridays at The Newsstand for ETH DENVER&&On February 28th, 2024, members of The Park DAO will be on their way to the Mile High City to produce an irl NEWSSTAND Art Installation by Trevor Traynor and Errorgardener on location at ETH Denver. The NEWSSTANDS project is a 100-piece photography collection that captures real newsstand owners in their element. The irl NEWSSTAND installation is an extension of that collection, a conduit for art and artifacts to be displayed front and center for all to enjoy.
Date of Event: March 1st, 2024
Location: TBC
NEWSSTANDS NFT Collection and timeline: http://NEWSSTANDS.XYZ
Press: https://www.trevortraynor.com/newsstands
LA IRL Recap Video: https://vimeo.com/718892669
This is a request for 1.111eth from The Park DAO treasury to help fund the overall production.
Funding from The Park will go towards our production goal of 4.444ETH, specifically towards the rental truck for the newsstand, travel for out-of-state parties, and creation of the yet-to-be-titled "The Park Newspaper."
This project will be produced by Trevor Traynor, Trevor Banta (Errorgardener), Sydney Banta (SidneXIV), and David T Phung.
See you in the mountains!
