Is undergoing some changes! Polygon Showcase Oct. 1 Our journey as individual artists to becoming a cohesive NFT team, with two nostalgic Spatial.io metaverse spaces based on a 50s diner and food truck park where you hang out with your friends, has been nothing short of life changing - life changing in the way the trajectory of your professional journey takes a sharp left. Children’s illustrator and creator of #TheSquibbles YouTube show (soon to be released!) Jay Stansfield posed this question to NFT creators: Is the journey worth it? Sometimes you have to stop and ask yourself that question. Even if your goal is HUGE, is the journey worth it? Can you answer this question honestly and openly? Thank you Jay for asking hard questions. Reflection is part of growth. The Diner team member @NovaSageCTD/Phoenix couldn’t have put it better, “100%. I can’t afford to not take this journey. It’s already been remarkable for my life in ways I can’t really talk about. I definitely wish I had asked myself this question about previous journeys in my life.” Premier Diner artist and metaverse builder @gxxnar/Ken pontificates, “It’s easier to say ‘yes’ for journeys I’ve chosen for myself. On the journeys I’m tossed into, I often have to ask ‘what is the value of this journey?’ They all have worth - however hard it is to find. Even with all the struggles, disappointments, and upsets of my current journey, YES!” For me, Raina, “YES! I had zero idea how much this journey would shape and change the people I met and worked with. It has been been challenging in a myriad of ways. I must have a goal to be actively working toward in my life, something challenging to learn, and this fills those buckets to the brim! Our NFT project grew into twice weekly Twitter spaces coined OrderUP! where we have discussed anything from inviting our fellow NFT community to share their creative processes and practicing “minting” on the blockchain in episode 11 in our first ever “mintathon” to “How might Web3 and the metaverse improve education?” in episode 30. As we saw the fun, potential, and projected future of meeting in the metaverse as a social platform, we really pushed ourselves to level up our knowledge and experience in Spatial. Ken’s skills as a builder have flourished, Phoenix’s tech skills know no bound, and I’ve learned the ins and outs of unending metaverse space experiences to bring back knowledge and application to our platform. Together “2nd Saturday Showcase” was born. The education and promotion only grows! Ken had already built our home, CHUBBY's Food Truck Park in Spatial and we have held numerous informal meetups. The Diner metaverse is currently our own personal meeting space and will be public in the future. But we were ready for something more formal. Our Diner roadmap has always included education, but we were all naturally positive promoters of other’s work, be it NFTs, studio art, digital remastering, music, you name it, we want to grow and onboard our community, both in the metaverse or in real life. So, every 2nd Saturday, both on Twitter OrderUP! and in CHUBBY’s Food Truck Park on Spatial, we host up to 5-6 creators, open to everyone, to show and sell their work to an audience. Hard to picture? Well, have you participated in a Zoom meeting? Then you’ve experienced what we do, but with a twist. The environment is 3D and you don’t have to use your camera. You use an avatar. You can create one and make it look like you at Ready Player Me’s website (https://readyplayer.me/) or just jump in with a generic avatar all ready to go. You just need an email address. That’s it. Come take a seat by the stage and immerse yourself in a creators showcase. https://spatial.io/s/CHUBBYs-Food-Truck-Park-X5-61f8be45bca31f0001497b39?share=7652942740381371841 Our journey has brought us to 50 successful episodes of OrderUP! and we are presenting our team’s NFT work in our first Polygon Showcase this coming Saturday, Oct 1! We are thrilled to be part of another creator's goal to promote artists too. @MyCreativeOwls, a talented creator and NFT/metaverse trailblazer, has worked tremendously hard to build and bring the NFT community together. We are so proud to present our hard work there. Our goals of educating, uplifting, and helping expand our futures together is in sync! We’d be thrilled to see you there!

Changes Why we're changing: As we’ve grown as a team, it was inevitable we would find the need to pivot and adapt, just as the world of web3 and NFTs are changing. Finding how much we loved shifting from our brainstorming set around promoting artists in a regularly set and formatted gallery crawl style to a showcase style show and sell in our own beloved CHUBBY’s Food Truck Park, 2nd Saturday Showcase emerged. Hosting a metaverse event is hard work, even with a team. You are “on” in front of a live group of people, but you need to know your tech and content seamlessly. As we stumbled forward through our first two showcases, CJ Meta Events hosting guru @HiCeeCee popped in to lend a practiced hand. She showed Ken how to add seating to the stadium benches and stayed in the audience. Just having her there was a sigh of relief. When she attended as a presenter in the second showcase, the community was blown away by her personal art. She is continually present, supporting, teaching, and escorting the NFT community through new metaverses on her Monday Twitter space #MetaverseMonday and hosting events with partner event designer (jojohombreave.nft) @hombreave17, elevating everyone's experiences. Phoenix, Ken, and I have found our roles within 2nd Saturday Showcase and get better with each event. We found doing these events on back to back weekends was not sustainable, and having love of alliteration, once a month 2nd Saturday Showcase took it’s place in our OrderUP! lineup. That left us with some other things to think about. One event from OrderUP! episode 11, when we host our first “mint-a-thon”, we knew we had something there! It was so scary and so much fun. Exhilarating actually. I had never “minted” a thing in my life. Not only was I challenged by Ken to draw on the spot and post it to Twitter every 15 minutes for an hour, I had to mint it as an NFT on OpenSea! Talk about leaning in the classroom! at Ken’s home studio. Yikes! It was so fun and I learned a great deal that day. However, OrderUP! revolved around round table topic discussions with our community. It’s really at our core foundation. So, we put all these menu items together in a new and ordered way. We did not want to be a one stop Diner, we are The Diner Studio and web3 and the metaverse is evolving. We are certainly a part in shaping what it looks like. Here is our new monthly Order UP! Diner Menu! New Time (beginning Sat, Oct 8):
1st Saturday: Let's get creative
Thanks for hanging out with us through these changes! The Diner Crew appreciates and loves you all! ~Raina, Ken, and Phoenix
