Ahoy Los Angeles! 🏴‍☠️

What's up everyone! I'm sure many of you web3 folks might be flying off to New York for NFT NYC, but if you're staying in LA, you're in for some nice warming weather and the slow crawl into summertime events. Boat Cinema is coming back next month (that's right, it's watching films on boats), food festivals, and a variety of other things to check out.

There's not as much tech events this week, I think mainly because there's Consensus, NFT NYC, and TECHSPO sucking up all the event energy, so either check those huge events out or check out the variety of things LA has to offer. In either case, enjoy that warming weather, folks!
