> Wyclef Jean is trying his best to get the crowd hyped. He’s making his way through some of the biggest hits of his career... but it’s not exactly a wild crowd. Some people stay seated. Others stand still, silently recording the stage. To the side, people take turns tossing bean bags into cornhole boards on top of a carpet of fake grass.
This reminds me of the Silcon Valley pilot episode where kid rock was playing at the VC party and everyone ignored him.
There's so, so many problematic quotes here. Yeesh.
>“I bought my VeeFriend basically because he told me to,” Pasqual says. “I was like okay, I trust what he’s saying completely.”
>“I’m Hot Shit Hornet,” she says, referencing the name of one of her VeeFriend characters. VeeFriends was her first NFT, and she resisted the urge months ago to sell one when the value peaked at $80,000. Now, Cauley-Yu is too attached to her digital drawing to let it go — she tells me she’d almost rather see it be worthless than spike in value, lest the temptation to sell gets the best of her.
