May 1st was our BamBam day celebration and cupsleeve! This was our first in person cup sleeve in half a year and we were so excited to share it with you all! The event was held at Riize Coffee Co. in Littleton - the same place as my very first ever cupsleeve in 2019. Chrissy, the owner of Riize, prepared three special drinks for this event! The Ahgase Peach Green Tea (which was SO GOOD), the Dab Dab Moach, and the King Thai Chai. Aside from the delicious drinks there was a special BamBam day photo area, music videos playing, freebies, and of course the cupsleeve! For this event I chose to go more black and white/vogue theme due to BamBams recent magazine and glamour photo shoots and I have to say it was one of the most fun themes I've done. As most know, besides just the fun decor and theme, I like adding a fundraising aspect to most of my events. In support of our AAPI community I chose to collect donations for an Asian Non-Profit in Colorado Springs: The Golden Lotus Foundation. This organization strives to "celebrate tradition and inspire passion for Asian heritage through community resources, education programs, and expand support for culture projects" as well as is working to build more community spaces for the AAPI community in Colorado Springs. Thanks to everyone's generosity we were able to raise $120 to donate! Lastly, as part of collecting donations, we were offering a raffle basket filled with a Breathless CD, 2 art prints, stickers, and official BamBam photocards! A big congratulations to Yaretzi for winning that special prize! Thank you so much to everyone who came and supported me and my events once again! I couldn't continue to do this without you all! See you all at the next one!

February 22nd - March 6th of this year we opened up our SOPE Cafe Online Cupsleeve event! Although I would have loved to bring the concept in person our online ordering and the accompanying watch party on March 13th was a great success! This event was yet another wonderful collaboration with both Nocokpop and KonnectPop! We brought you all 3 different cupsleeves (1 Yoongi, 1 Jhope, and a special Sope sleeve) as well as beautiful potoroids designed by Aspen of Konnectpop. Special PC's from Ivy. Lyric buttons from Frances of Nocokpop and then specially designed stickers by the the fabulous DreemingDeeper on twitter! To add a special meaning to our event we had decided to use all the funds from the SOPE cupsleeve event to be donated to a local small business, Ju's Coffee in Aurora. Vinh Xoung partnered with us in this endeavor to collect donations by selling their extra sleeves from past events and donating the proceeds. We were able to raise over $500 to be donated to this wonderful cafe. Ju's has been supportive of our events for over a year now, helping purchase cupsleeves as well as allow us to use their building for our events. We hate to see them struggling in these hard times and we are so happy to be able to provide some support to a business that has always been supportive of us. Thank you so much to everyone who purchased from us and helped us make this happen!
Lastly, a big thank you to all that joined me for our watch party on March 13th! Although it's something small I enjoyed watching old videos as well as chatting with everyone who attended. Brought a little bit of excitement during the big snow storm! Please look forward to the next event! At the beginning of February Aspen of KonnectPop and I partnered up to create our 2 Years with Vanner online cupsleeve event! Although this was only our second cupsleeve project together I love working with Aspen and this project was definitely one of my favorites! Based off their latest music video, "Form," we created Casino theme items like a special Vanner poker chip, wristband, playing card PC's, and Cupsleeves.
Along with selling these special items to celebrate we also donated the proceeds to a charity! This donation was different than our typical donations thanks to the opportunity to ask member YoungKwang himself where he would like us to donate to! Aspen used her video call from the last oncast concert on their anniversary to ask and YoungKwang requested the money to be sent to Seoul National University Pediatric Hospital due to how much they helped him as a child. We raised $552 for this project! Thank you once again to everyone who contributed to the project and to Aspen for working with me!
