Big shoutouts to @esteez.eth, @dylsteck.eth, and others who helped out with the main events at Farcon! My favorite parts of the weekend were side events that had specific activities and audiences that extended beyond crypto. The Forever Library event (@amelie @debbie), Bracket’s beer pong tournament (@tldr @passafiume.eth @maxp.eth), and yoga & oysters (@loriann) were highlights for me. Maybe it’s because I’m an introvert, and it’s preferable to have something to do while mingling. But I also think it’s valuable for us, as a social network, to expand our own horizons. I met several people at events this weekend who weren’t very active on Farcaster – or hadn’t heard of it at all! – that became more interested in what we’re building here. They wouldn’t have attended a generic crypto-oriented mixer, but an adjacent event served as a warm (re)introduction.

What makes FarCon So Special? (🧵) Farcasters are special. Y’all are my kind of nerds. We are the innovator class. We are the trailblazers who are super open minded and eager to try all of the new things. We are driven and motivated and for a handful of days, many of us converged into one place and got to hang out as humans. We worked, we played, we ranted, we connected, we broke bread, we gave hugs, and most importantly we put faces to the pfps and realized that every person we met was an awesome human doing cool things. We went from magic internet friends to real friends. We had incredible moments, made connections, and strengthened our bonds in a way we just can’t do over text. The URL to IRL pipeline is key and must be protected at all costs. The Summit was outstanding but the side events, shared Ubers /subway rides, coffees and dinners were the stars of the week.
