600 unique individuals '/unlocked' their way into my world this month.
71% of the time, I was vibing at full capacity.
'Dosa & Sunny Side Up' emerged as the go-to combo, reflecting a taste for delightful flavors.
In the heart of our community, this culture of Easy Listening Sessions has blossomed beautifully. Founder members graced the spotlight, turning our space into a haven of music, poetry, and shared expressions. What made this experience truly extraordinary was the diverse array of talents showcased—seasoned performers sharing the stage with brave first-timers, each contributing to the unique charm of the evening.
The event was a full house, with soulful performances & the warmth of community. The vibes were high even in the virtual realm, with the event being streamed live in the Zo World discord as well as members joining us with virtual performances.
As we reflect on this magical night, we're filled with anticipation for more Easy Listening Sessions that promise to unveil more hidden talents within our community.

Founder’s Update
This month brought a special treat for the Zo community, all thanks to Bhand.eth! In the midst of the ongoing web3 ‘Airdrop Season’, Bhand took it to the next level with an IRL drop for his collectors, marking his first year as an NFT artist. This IRL drop is not just a token of appreciation; it's a testament to the creativity flourishing within our community.
As we wrap up this edition, feel the Zo energy reverberating through your screens. This is just the beginning, and I can't wait to share more moments, stories, and excitement with you in the upcoming newsletters. Until then, keep the vibes alive, Founders.
