Along the same vibes we are also jamming with #creatives:minting-music for music festivals, more to come when we have a concrete plan and I can share specific dates.

Finally, really excited with the OW Sandbox Re-launch Party! :partying_face: if you are a Guild leader or member who want to introduce the Guild at the party, make sure to register here for you 1 min pitch! :point_up:
