Intro Rules & Welcome
Live Music by Chris Ward @thesaxophonewarrior
MELISSA SMITH - LYRA
“LA's a city that encourages curiosity. I have learned so much about art, life, science from its rich and diverse intellectual and creative communities. It is an epicenter of innovation, play, and beauty. I always dreamed of running away to join the circus. How lucky are we that the circus is home!”
2. ROBIN GOPAL - HAMMOCK
“LA is a city with space for dreams. Here, dreams aren't childish or impractical - they are a thread that binds the community together.”
3. TALISA TUMAN - SILKS | CANES
“I've lived all over the world and LA feels like a mini version of the global community. There's something for everyone here and while it can feel overwhelming and isolating in its vastness (especially sitting in endless lines of traffic), you can find gems of inspiration everywhere you look. Especially now, amidst all the unimaginable tragedy, it's been so beautiful seeing humanity rise and communities support each other without hesitation. It feels like the people of Los Angeles have been showing their true colors--and it's beautiful. Really feels like a true city of angels, rising from the ashes.”
-VEGAN SUSHI TACOS-
4. EMILY HALDEMAN - HEART LYRA
“I love that LA is a city about creativity, adventure, and passion. Everyone here is driven and not afraid to chase their dreams.”
5. ALICE PANG - SILKS
“From another LA (Louisiana) to the LA I now call home, I'm all about fantastic food, warm weather, and creative culture. The City of Angels has won me over with a jambalaya of beautiful, fun things and a strong community that stands together.”
6. ANDREW TURANGAN - POLE
“To me, LA represents some of the most beautiful parts of humanity. Rich in its artistic culture, people everywhere are moved by the creative minds and souls of LA. Being born in LA, I will always feel a strong connection and love for the city and its people.”
7. MINA MECHANIC - SILKS
“LA - the city that will embrace you, but also eat you alive. The loveliest and loneliest. A place with so much diversity, you can get lost in art and smog and somehow find an oasis of joy. It's a love/hate relationship and the place I call home.”
-VEGAN STUFFED MUSHROOMS + DEVILED POTATOES-
8. LINDSEY WILLIAMS - LYRA
“I love Los Angeles for its people! The friends I've made are the brightest, most talented and kind I've met. They are people who are excited about life, interested in other people, and devote themselves to their passions. The amazing energy here is infectious and I'm proud to be a part of that community.”
9. JESSICA ANDERSON-GWIN, RABIA MAHARAJ, ANGELA YU - FIRE FANS
“Where else can I be asked to find a human sized birdcage? Outside and inside the industry, I’ve found the every day good person. The possibilities are endless from glitz and glam, to sweat pants and pizza hangouts.”
“LA is a special place, you get the best of everything. Its the place to live large and to follow your heart.”
-INTERACTIVE DESSERT: DESSERT BITES-
10. MARY ALBERQUE - POLE
“I'm the creative black sheep of my family. I've got a significant vitamin D deficiency. And I love people watching. Where else would I go?!”
11. KATE HADDEN, CINDY LEE, BRIANNE SCHAER, KARINA - CHANDELYRA
