ProposalsProposal 583
Before you read the proposal, read this first: Although there is already a quite some programming throughout all 3 days, there is still plenty of room and space for you to contribute, chime in with activities, host side events and more.
This programming should function as a platform to build upon. Due to security restrictions we might not be able to host all activities at Secret Walls HQ, but we will do our best to pull everything together - because the more, the merrier.
We will host rounds for teams to get funded, and encourage teams with ideas that require larger funding to submit a proposal on chain.
TLDR; This is not your typical crypto con – welcome to Nouns Town LA! The event series all ⌐◨-◨ fans have been waiting for. Let's come together in LA to celebrate ⌐◨-◨!

From being in and with the community for +2,5 years, the impression has matured that we're missing something for and from the community: a moment in the year when we all summon to a place to connect, create and cultivate more of the good and the great that we like to see coming to life through ⌐◨-◨
From this year onward, let's create an annual happening for the whole community to come together, bring their friends and celebrate ⌐◨-◨
I also wrote a short essay on this topic - here's the link.
It's the first of its kind – communities, groups, project teams and fans are coming together to make memories and celebrate ⌐◨-◨ in LA this year.
It's Nouns Town LA and everyone is invited to add their ⌐◨-◨ to the program.
We have a general run of show planned with sufficient flexibility and space that allows communities, groups and teams to plug in and contribute to the celebration.
It's an arrangement in 3 chapters and the theme is as central to the core of ⌐◨-◨ as it can be: People, Places, Things.
Chapter 1: Little Nouns Town Chapter 2: Animation Festival Chapter 3: Nouns exploring LA
Date: 09 October Location: Secret Walls HQ
Think of "Little Nouns Town" as the physical representation of what we experience every day on warpcast, X and Discord. It's a mashup of what makes ⌐◨-◨ Nouns.
On Day 1, all of Nouns comes to Secret Walls HQ. Secret Walls HQ is located in Downtown LA, which is ~15mins from United Theatre where the film festival will take place.
It offers 3 in-house areas and a large yard that can be split up into multiple areas. We’re looking to host as many nounish communities as we can fit into the venue on the same day, creating a mini version of Nouns Town.
Check out this YoutTube video to learn more about the venue.
This is the section you want to memorize - it's the programming we have pre-confirmed and there's space to add more!
Food and beverages will be provided throughout the event by food trucks and the coffee store in the venue will serve pastries and coffee.
We're exited to share a preview of the speaker line-up. Through different formats, we want to make sure that the diversity of ⌐◨-◨ gets to participate - e.g. lightning talks and hot mic sessions.
Nouns Esports is hosting a series of show matches through Proposal 534. They plan to hold these matches at the Secret Walls venue, offering a unique esports experience for Nouners and unparalleled access to the world’s best Smash Melee players—a rare opportunity sought after by thousands of fans globally.
This event will also allow some of esports' biggest influencers to gain an inside look at Nouns and understand that Nouns is more than just an NFT project funding esports initiatives.
We aim to provide these players with a one-of-a-kind experience that they will share with their followers, generating millions of impressions for this event.
This activation is funded through proposal #534.
The Nouns Maker Space provides all the equipment for event attendees to customize merch they receive at the event - e.g. t-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, Bigshot toys, and more!
The approach:
butter.wtf is a homage to ⌐◨-◨ by Benjamin Latsko - it’s an attempt to provide a curated view into the wider Nouns ecosystem. For this event everyone is invited to co-curate and surface the best of Nouns.
We hosted this at ETHDenver and it was an activation everyone enjoyed: a community mural artwork. 4-6 artists will live paint art throughout the day to some of which attendees are invited to pick up a marker or a brush to contribute.
Other communities will also commission artists to live paint during the day - e.g. Yellow Collective, Higher, vrbs, nounspace.wtf and more.
We will also commission an artist to create a black&white ⌐◨-◨ mural in the yard of Secret Walls HQ.
The image below is NOT going to be the actual mural!
From almost 3 years of ⌐◨-◨ work, Klim is curating a selection of prototypes, sketches, molds, finished and unfinished product ideas from his archives as well as new products to create the first of it's kind: A ⌐◨-◨ Archive Experience by Bigshot Toyworks!
Expect an archive experience like no other: unseen prototypes and products, big and small ⌐◨-◨ concepts, creative ideas that will spark the new.
We're looking forward to showcase the depth of research, product development and passion that went into creating the beloved tokens of joy.
After it's popular tribute at the "Shark, Pickle, Cone"-Premiere, we're activating a tattoo station with Gossamer Rozen.
Gossamer is known for her infamous work on Tigerbob and has been close to Nouns from inception. We're exited to get her involved at Nouns Town LA at the tattoo station and Maker Space.
Learn more about Gossamer Rozen and Tigerbob here: Gossamer Rozen on X Tigerbob on X Tigerbob Store
We are premiering major ⌐◨-◨ productions at Nouns Town LA: "The Rise of Blus: A Nouns Movie" and "Nogglers Series - Mavericks of Time".
A New Normal – With his father taken, Gi and Mara try to lay low and adjust to their new circumstances. But when Leader Blunt's goons track them down, a mysterious new figure comes to their aid.
The event will be first-time IRL premiere of Episode 4 alongside re-runs of episodes 1-3.
Watch the latest teaser here. Learn more about Proposal 425.
This animated adventure follows the story of two teenagers from the '90s, Steven Maxwell and Will Cooper. After discovering a pair of Noggles, they gain extraordinary intelligence and use it to create a time machine! Join them as they encounter historical figures, get into all sorts of trouble, and somehow try to save the planet.
Watch the teaser trailer here. Learn more about Proposal 456.
Date: 10 October Location: United Theater on Broadway, LA Find all information for the Animation Festival here.
The Animation Festival is funded through proposal #397
The general programming for this day allows for groups to break out and more community events to take place.
A brunch will be hosted close to United Theater where the evening events are taking place.
Date: 11 October Location: LA
On day 3, local ⌐◨-◨ are encouraged and invited to share their favorite places of the city with the community.
Simply put, the idea is for groups to break out during the day to explore LA, make memories and come back together in the evening for dinner and fireside chats - we will work on the evening programming as a separate proposal once attendance is confirmed.
These are the tracks you can join:
More details on the listed tours will follow as we get closer to the event dates. Keep an eye on warpcast.com/nounstown for updates and don't forget to RSVP!
As mentioned in the introduction: there's room for more activities and independent contributions throughout the week.
On the graphics in this proposal you'll spot red rectangles with a plus. These indicate that there's opportunity for you to host an event, activity or contribute in other matters.
The more the merrier. We're hoping for more communities and members to get involved and contribute to the celebration.
You can plan events for all 3 days.

This year we're seeding the event concept for Nouns Town with the goal to go BIG in 2025 and the years to come. Therefore we're not aiming to be self-sufficient through ticket sales or revenue streams this year.
We're working on a concept to ensure we get clear committment of attendance for tickets claimed at marginal to zero cost.
Event Planning and Nouns Maker Space Benjamin Latsko
General event staffing will be booked through Secret Walls HQ.
Who is the event for? Everyone in the ⌐◨-◨ ecosystem, and their friends. We will be hosting up to 200 nounsfolk at Secret Walls HQ and are expecting for all tickets to be claimed quickly.
Beverage Sponsorships A German classic, exported to the US: Paulaner Sunset. For my German friends: this is Paulaner Spezi.
If the proposal passes, we will approach more partners to support with products and pot. sponsorships.
As stated in the "Ticket Sales and Revenue Model" section, this year is all about seeding the event concept of Nouns Town.
By leaning inwards and celebrating all of ⌐◨-◨, we're creating a spring board to go big in 2025. We're planning to book multiple photographers and videographers to document this happening. The distribution of the mini documentaries will be supported by 2 advertorials and PR work.
My vision for Nouns Town is to make it an annual recurring community happening that is hosted in a different city each year.
From venue takeovers to ⌐◨-◨-ifying entire neighborhoods, leading up to ⌐◨-◨-ifying an entire city for a week, month, years...
The roadmap could be: 2024 – venue takeover 2025/26 – neighborhood takeover 2027/28 and beyond – city takeover

Hi, it's Benjamin Latsko!
I've been an active ⌐◨-◨ community member for +2,5 years. Entered through SharkDAO, became a member of nouncil a bit later and recently got to vote as a delegate.
I launched butter.wtf as a homage to ⌐◨-◨ - curating and bringing (very) small capsule collections to the community with some selected artwork from the past and some new pieces. Provided folks at farcon with a batch of merch too.
Things I do which you might not be aware of:
I also run an eponymous studio, working with small and very big brands. Here's a list of brands I work(ed) with: benjaminlatsko.com

Really excited for this. Thank you to Benjamin for all the hard work to coordinate.
Voting no as a sad protest because, like many other talented contributors, I cannot travel to the US.
We need more events outside of the US and Europe.
Hope y'all have fun tho.
most excited i've been about a prop in a while. thank you again to benjamin for taking this on.

PlayDNA is FOR with a 4-0 vote result. See below for our members' votes with reasons:
FOR
FabValle.eth: This is the type of event that should happen every year, like comic con! Can't wait to meet you guys there!
joaoborges.eth: Very nounish proposal! Happy to see the team build one of the most exciting moments of the year for the community! Would love to see more similar events inspired by it popping out in other parts of the globe in the future ⌐◨-◨
TheBower.eth: Hell yeah! For quite some time now I've had the felling we needed a fully nounish focused event, and this is a great execution on that vision by Ben. See you all there!
eusoujp.eth: We all deserve this celebration for what we've been building over the last three years. Thanks Ben for putting this together. See you all there!
from /nounsfe: For: 6 | Against: 0 | Abstain: 0
katalyyst: +for, looks like a really cool event, excited to see Nouns Esports represented! +1 nounsdeli, it'd be great to have some live interactivity available for those Nouners who can't fly out
onter: For - really well put together and seems like a good investment as it shows where all the money is going. Regarding the events, would be awesome to see this happen.
lunari: for - is this the avengers endgame of nouns xD +1 yalor, just on the thought that it would be awesome to see more things brought into the event by other local communities to get more new people interested in the DAO (although, love to see the other nouns communities, and higher, etc!) +1 katalyyst... perhaps an IRL livestream of this event? :0
tori: for +1 lunari nouns town is sick and cant wait to see it. would love to see a lot of the proposals (nounspresso, nounsdeli) be participating think it would just be huge for nouns
Also, love the premieres <3 Missing that watching party is the worse of the worse... I imagine an LA outdoor cinema with tacos and cozy lightning with people all sitting together to enjoy what you've created... I'm so jealous <3 Okey, I just got convinced of voting for while writing this. So fucking cool! Can't wait not to be there but readying all about it
excited for this activation, bring a great experience and share nounish energy in the city of angels (los angeles) ⌐◨-◨
Abstaining due to conflict of interest: We built the RSVP frame and would be working on the website and ticketing.
Excited for Nouns Town, mostly for the reason to meet many of you IRL, and have interesting conversations about the future of Nouns.
Benjamin has been doing a great job of thoughtfully driving and planning this prop.
In terms of if this will be a good spend for the DAO, we asked Benjamin how he would quantify success. He said: “the amount of high quality bold proposals that can be self sufficient in their own vertical with 1-2 mid sized fundings, submitted 6-8 weeks after the events.”
Thought this was a great response, and it will be interesting to see how it plays out. Hope Nouns Town will inspire builders to group together and try new things!
Would love for there to be a tech/protocol event as lilfrog mentioned (we are happy to help with this if needed).
Benjamin is a great operator, he gets stuff done. I trust nouns town will be well executed and enjoyed by all. I also like how there is a bit of room to adjust the agenda + events. If anyone wants to organize a nouns tech/protocol event at nouns town lmk 👍
Excited to see how it turns out and see if we could implement certain approaches to our local IRL proliferations too! As we see there are some similarities that we could go for. Please document it to the max! Looking forward ☺︎
The Nouncil has spoken.
We discuss all Nouns proposals every week in our Discord https://discord.gg/fdjJpMeV6K. The calls are public and all are welcome!
You can find a link to previous call recordings in our Discord "links" channel.
Nouncil has decided in favor of this proposal, with 33 votes for, 2 against, and 4 abstentions. Supporters highlighted the value of an effective on-the-ground presence with real-time performance metrics and the potential to build culture, lore, and community through IRL events. The proposal includes exciting new additions and showcases, such as the Nouns Archive experience, Kendama demo, and film screenings. The majority felt this event would significantly enhance Nouns' visibility and engagement. Future plans to rotate the event to different cities were also well-received.

I went through all of the emotions with this proposal.....first go around I was against, as it didn't feel like a complete proposal & I had a lot of questions, then Ben came into a few Nouncil calls and explained some things, so I was going to abstain, as I still felt it was missing some things to fit the budget.... then last week Ben came into the Nouncil call and shared the most recent updates and editions to the proposal which made me excited for the event.... and now I'm a solid FOR. Cheers to the emotional roller coaster we call governance :joy:

Might start looking for tickets. Which is totally not doable for me right now!!
⌐◨-◨
It's a big YES from us! This event has all the right ingredients to showcase Noun DAO. A blend of live arts, music, games, food/ drink and heaps of culture. Nouns Town LA is exactly the kind of event we've been missing. It's a celebration that will strengthen relationships, align goals, and celebrate our achievements as a DAO. An event for the community by the community.
Our only suggestion would be to create a live stream of the speakers and potentially a roving report of key activations. There's never going to be a perfect location for something like this, but for a small cost, it can be more inclusive for those unable to attend for whatever reason.
We're excited to see it come to life! ⌐◨-◨
I love this proposal's collaborative spirit: several of our best builders will create a three-day memorable IRL experience. I'm excited about this first edition and the ones to come!
Keep Nouns Weird ⌐◨-◨
A whole lot of yes from me. This taps into what I am all about. IRL, culture building, lore building, fun, art, music, learning.
I agree with others that the budget is high and that some of the line items could be reduced or removed, but only if we feel that the cost is a deterrent to having an amazing event. I hope that the higher budget will lead to an event that exceeds expectations and creates a strong desire for us to fund another one next year.
Nouns Town already feels like the Nounish event of the year for me, and I'm excited to play a role in making this event a memorable experience for others who attend. Thank you for all the hard work, time, and collaborations that has gone into this proposal. very very nounish ⌐◨-◨
