Florida Creatives – Creating a Community of Innovation

I have not been this tired nor this glad to be clean in a while; I really put my sweat into Florida Creatives today. I made a bunch of buttons with our new Florida Creatives logo on them and handed them out while I told people about the group. The main attraction, though, was how you could make your own buttons. People got very creative, from hand drawn art to magazine clippings, stolen Slurpee stickers and photobooth pics. My invention of the day was a button made of looseleaf paper for writing dry-erase messages.

I made a photoset on Flickr of the pictures I took - lots of cool ones from people who made buttons. If you use Flickr, you can tag your photos as upcoming:event=150419 as one way to share them with people.

As far as people from the Happy Hour showing up to the Bazaar, Jason and Megan from SOLMI were there. I also talked to bunches of people who are excited about the event on Monday and the group in general. I'd say mission accomplished.

One last cool thing was a friend I made: Omar, an intern at the Orlando Weekly. He says Likemind.orl is getting printed in this week's issue (should come out Weds. or Thurs.), and he wants to write about Florida Creatives next time we have an event. Hooray press coverage!
