The inaugural sunday open mic mateada was a success!
Thank you to everyone who came out for such a special afternoon. So many talented people sharing their creativity, energy, and passion, and so many others showing up to support, connect, and just be part of it all.
It's meaningful spending time together, drinking yerba mate and kava, meeting new people, and sharing time with friends, strangers, and community here in Philadelphia.
Huge thank you to everyone who made it happen:
Jack Faracchio for hosting and bringing it all together,
Lydia Blair for an amazing featured performance,
and Old City Kava Co. for opening their space and collaborating with us.
If you see someone you recognize in the video, drop their @ in the comments so we can make sure they’re credited and others can find their work.
The goal is to keep this going on the last Sunday of every month.
