Call it an excuse to meet people. Like and unlike yourself. Interested in arts, culture, music, design, anime, writing, throwing rocks at old and stale ideas. Climbing over old and stale ideas. architecture, urban planning, what makes a great dress or a suit, or how do we hold on to some traditions and forget about others. We network. We discuss. We challenge. We ask questions. and search for answers. But mostly, I hope we look each other right in the old eyeball and figure out how we can make the creative industry in Long Beach more vibrant. How can we work better together?
Networking is not just about exchanging business cards and telephone numbers. It’s about finding that one great greasy spoon that make the greatest burrito or pizza or bbq and you just have to share with it a few hundred of your best friends. Well, it’s the same here. We’ve discovered great art. Great music. Great writing. You name it. And we want to work with them. For them if we have to. Because it’s just too good not to share it with everyone else.
The Long Beach Creativity Network is not an organization. And the Creativity Salons are not a meeting. They’re meant to celebrate. Educate. Commiserate. And sometimes just BS. But that’s okay too. And there’s plans for a website. And online forums to continue the networking and talking. And LongBeachCulture.Org is a good friend and sponsor. There’s alot more ahead.
