We Found a Home!
In 2024, we started to really experiment with in-person events to go alongside our emailed creative challenges. The space that we would usually occupy was at Quiet Storm Roasters in the community of Hillcrest in San Diego.
Huge shoutout to Elijah, Nico, and Tiyana for allowing us to occupy the space.
I always wanted to host events. The first event I tried to put on was in 2023, no one showed up. The second event I did, only my family showed up. Then I took a break from hosting events. My anxiety would go up and the lack of attendance made it tough to want to keep going.
Then after a creative meet up in July from the creator, Koysun, I saw that there was a need for more creative events and meetups. I then decided to just go for it and start doing events.
Sorry I didn’t send invites here… I was really anxious and nervous 😅.
We started with once a month, to then twice a month, to now I can now say that we will be going weekly!!
Every Thursday from 4-7PM you can catch in person Creative Club events at Quiet Storm Roasters! (3590 Fifth Ave, San Diego, CA 92103)
At these events, you will be given the space to create for the sake of creating. We will be having collaging supplies if you’d like to collage. You can also do the Creative Challenge of the week there if you’d like. You can bring your own supplies and create using our Creative Roulette cards that we are currently developing (you can only try them out here 👀).
The main reason I want to do in-person events is to create a community of creatives who’s main purpose to being there is to create and have fun. Not there with the purpose of “networking” even though I do encourage meeting new people. I just want to create a genuine community of creatives who just love being creative.
So if it is a Thursday and you feel like coming down to create something, come on down! We will be here!
I’m so excited for the future of Creative Club and Simplex Minds as a whole. 2025 is going to be crazy, I can tell you that much.
Thank you for being here early. I appreciate you more than you know. See y’all on Thursdays!
