Phenomenal event in Hudson last night!
I wasn't sure what to expect, since our previous events have all been farther down-river (Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Beacon). It was a more intimate crowd, but I heard a lot of people saying that they liked the size because everyone had a chance to talk to everyone.
Big thanks to @Freddie at Barnfox for the use of the space, to @Helen Coupe and @Hugo for help during the event, and to everyone who came out!
If Hudson was too far for you, have no fear, we have four more events being announced soon:
• November in New Paltz (a joint event with SUNY New Paltz Design Week! :female-student:)
• December in Poughkeepsie (end-of-the-year party! 🎄)
• January in Peekskill (New Year, new venue! ⭐)
• February in Kingston ("Love Your Community" event for Valentine's Day! ❤️)

We're also going to start rolling out ConnectHV Chapters soon, so if driving an hour to get to an event is unattainable, help is on the way. We'll be continuing our big monthly meetups, but also adding smaller more hyper-local events on a regular basis. If 100 people in an event space isn't your cup of tea, maybe a handful people getting together for coffee or a biweekly book club or quick drinks at a local brewery or something else along those lines might be interesting!

Hey ya'll. Happy release day! 🎉
This is a soft launch of a new service I've been working on these last few weeks. Easy REST API was originally conceived when I hit a wall while working with vector databases. I found myself spinning up multiple new sites for various projects to support expanding AI related data needs.
Easy REST API is, for now, a free REST API as a service powered by WordPress. It has no functional theme display and only provides output via the REST API. Theres a few plugins preinstalled to provide users tooling to quickly prototype different data structures in WordPress.
Please signup, give it a test, use it to bootstrap your next headless website!
Features;
• Magic Link Login
• Performance tuned PHP
• GraphQL, Pods
• Headless NextJS frontend

12:10 PM
Hi everyone!
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many of you, but not all (yet)!
I’m Eli Walker - I moved to Beacon just before the pandemic after 13 years in NYC.
I’m a solo-performance artist and yoga teacher, mostly known for founding the subversive social wellness brand Drunk Yoga®, which has now evolved into The Uplift Center—my live experience design consultancy/school for belonging.
I curate immersive social wellness experiences (think yoga drinking games/facilitated networking for conferences and corporate off-sites) to spark belonging at live events, and help leaders, organizations and community-builders do the same through 1:1 consulting and workshops.
I’d love to meet…
- Folks in the event production/community-building spaces
- Organizational leaders who are into bringing wellness experiences and belonging workshops into the office for team-building and professional development.
- Outdoor adventure buddies for acro yoga, hiking, paddle-boarding, and swimming hole fun!
Fun(ish) facts about me:
1) I’m a certified Astrologer (I love talking shop so feel free to shoot me star-related Q’s!)
2) I still side-hustle as a private yoga instructor, as well as an at-home voice-over artist out of my makeshift VO booth in my closet because I love the craft!
3) I grew up in a small farm town in Wisconsin with a population of 2000 people where I was related to everyone because my dad has 13 siblings and they almost all still live there…and reproduced quite a bit, as well…👀
Feel free to DM me to say hi (I love making new friends!) and/or keep your eyes peeled for the next storytelling open-mic night I host every month!
Cheers,
-Eli

Paul Stratta

hi @pcsanwald Go to Emilia at Prom & Wedding in Kingston; she’s terrific; one can both rent suits, tuxedos, etc., and even buy them, both new and used. I recently rented a black suit for a wedding (not mine, but so what?), and found everything perfect. I will get back into her and pick up a used, good condition black suit, or tuxedo, now that I know my exact measurements, thanks to her, and now that she will tailor it perfectly. I don’t need a brand new suit; her used suits are totally dry-cleaned, and totally hygienic. Tell her I sent you. Paul

Hey, everyone! New member introduction here. (https://deztinydimeo.com/)
I graduated from Rhinebeck High School in 2016 and from RIT in 2020 with a degree in Graphic Design and a minor in Ad&PR. I returned to the Hudson Valley in 2020 where I finished my degree remotely and continued my remote design career in Hyde Park. After four years of designing packaging and marketing for a pharmaceutical skincare company while freelancing on the side, I've decided to start my own design business. I'll be launching my logo and brand strategy & identity design business hopefully by New Year.
I've followed ConnectHV for a while but figured now would be a good time to start getting to know some more creatives in the area. If anyone has any tips for me, I'd love to chat!

:sponsor: A note on sponsorships: Community sponsorships help ConnectHV keep the lights on, paying server fees and other expenses that add up running a software platform + Slack community + in-person events... they're the thing preventing me from being entirely out-of-pocket on this project! All sponsors are members of the ConnectHV community, ensuring that they're people or organizations with "skin in the game" keeping our community an authentic, valuable, non-ad-polluted space for all of us in the Hudson Valley.

Big thanks to Augie for sponsoring ConnectHV again this week!
I really like the software/events/Slack side of managing ConnectHV, but I reallllly don't like doing social media marketing. A big issue for me is making videos for Instagram — I just don't enjoy it.
I was pumped when community member @Jeremy Toeman reached out to tell me about his startup, Augie. (Which I'd already heard of — they've been in the news a lot, and in the #1 spot on Product Hunt!) He hooked me up with an account, and I've been playing around with it to generate social videos based on snippets of text. It's a full-fledged video editing suite with AI superpowers that can help generate narration, choose clips, and do a (very impressive!) initial pass at an edit.
I'm a big fan of AI tools that can automate tasks I can do but am not passionate about doing — in other words, tools that augment my creative productivity rather than replacing my creative output. Augie does that in spades. It's able to guide me towards writing an effective script, help record narration (using a vocal clone of my own voice!), and select video clips from my own library and the Getty library. Basically, it's able to turn my sketched-out ideas into shareable content much faster than if I were doing it by hand every time.
Thanks to Jeremy and Augie for their continued support of ConnectHV, and if you need help creating ads/social posts/videos of any kind, reach out to @Jeremy Toeman!

Join me for an alignment coaching & reiki energy healing session, available on Saturdays at the Ascend Center in Cold Spring
The goal of these sessions is connecting back to yourself and the entry point is creating space, calm, and presence in the mind and body
So that you can…
Get less swept up in the should’s or other people’s thoughts and opinions, and instead hear yourself and your intuition more clearly
Feel grounded, open, and able to re-center yourself more easily amidst the ever-changing ups and downs of life, instead of shutting down in fear or overwhelm
Choose to respond differently when presented with the same circumstances, and create a life that feels new and fulfilling each day rather than like you’re living it over and over
Experience less resistance and paralyzed overthinking, and instead feel motivated to take action toward what you want
Recognize what or who drains your energy and feel empowered to release what’s not yours to carry and come back to yourself
If this resonates, I’d love to see you for a session

We’re back at Dietz Stadium this summer (after being in Poughkeepsie for last 2 seasons during Dietz renovations). 1000 fans/game, food trucks, super fun for kids, and season tix make great holiday gifts too! 🎁 $40 adults, $25 kids: http://stockadefc.com/store
ps: if you’ve been to a Stockade match, give us a shout here so other peeps see how rad it is!

:sponsor: A note on sponsorships: Community sponsorships help ConnectHV keep the lights on, paying server fees and other expenses that add up running a software platform + Slack community + in-person events... they're the thing preventing me from being entirely out-of-pocket on this project! All sponsors are members of the ConnectHV community, ensuring that they're people or organizations with "skin in the game" keeping our community an authentic, valuable, non-ad-polluted space for all of us in the Hudson Valley.
