Mike Rohde’s<\/a> sketch of Gary Vaynerchuk’s<\/a> talk<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Recently at the SEED 3 conference in Chicago, Gary Vaynerchuk<\/a>, host of Wine Library TV<\/a>, a daily internet webcast on the subject of wine with a “unpretentious, gonzo approach”<\/a>, spoke about the importance of fostering community with online networks. Mike Rohde<\/a>, a designer and writer in Wisconsin, sketched his notes<\/a> and posted them online<\/a>:<\/p>\n

COMMUNITY<\/strong>
\nGet outside and spend time with people in your space and outside your space.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s exactly what we did last Friday. (Minus the likes of Gary and Mike, at least for the time being.)<\/p>\n

The latest FWD:labs salon gathering, taking up the outside patio lounge at the Wilshire on a luke-warm Santa Monica evening, was another success. The event brought together a mix of cinema-savvy creatives along with their afficionados and audiences. Several were repeat attendees of a previous salon, enthusiastic about coming again.<\/p>\n

Unique to these gatherings, we fast-forward past the networking and shop talk and instead hit the slow-mo for embracing conversation and fostering community. Being a small invite-only group, most know someone who knows someone, but there’s still a lot of outspoken energy and enthusiasm about reinvigorating creativity and building friendships.<\/p>\n

Nobody has to collaborate, but they all could, many have, and some just might in the future. But for these cocktails and coffees, it’s about celebrating community outside your bubble.<\/p>\n

In two weeks, the next meet-up<\/a> is on Saturday, July 12th. The coffee’s on me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
