So
it’s
the
first
day
of
Consensus
2024,
and
you’ve
just
filled
your
brain
with
stimulating
talks
and
conversations.
Now
you’re
looking
for
something
to
do
to
blow
off
a
little
steam.
Here’s
your
late
night
guide
for
Consensus
afterparties,
dinners
and
other
events
on
Wednesday,
May
29.
(Grab
your
tickets
for
the
conference
here.)
CoinDesk
is
hosting
its
official
Consensus
Opening
Party
(RSVP
here)
across
three
venues.
The
event
will
kick
off
with
free
drinks
at
Reina
Rooftop,
move
to
10/10
Tacos
for
the
best
TexMex
in
town
and
end
at
the
Roma
nightclub
and
will
feature
entertainment
from
performance
artists,
mentalists,
tarot
card
readers,
and
a
special
guest
DJ.
From
5:30
p.m.
to
7:00
p.m.
Superstate
and
Huma
Finance
will
be
hosting
a
cocktail
party
at
Keiretsu,
a
global
angel
investor
network
in
Austin’s
swanky
South
Congress
district.
It’s
an
event
designed
for
mingling.
Speaking
of?
CME
Group
and
FalconX
are
hosting
what
they’re
calling
a
“networking
reception”
at
The
Tipsy
Alchemist.
It
also
starts
at
5:30
p.m.,
but
will
run
a
little
later
until
8:30
p.m.,
if
you
want
to
hit
up
both.
Both
events
are
free
with
an
RSVP.
If
you’d
rather
sit
down
and
chat,
consider
hitting
up
the
Verus
Community
Dinner
Party
at
the
Fairmont
Austin,
which
is
promising
“a
locally
sourced,
organic,
sustainable
dinner,
top-shelf
cocktails,
live
music
and
great
company!”
The
event
is
first
come
first
serve
and
only
for
Consensus
badge
holders.
Or
consider
seeing
whether
your
favorite
crypto
influencers
are
as
funny
in
person
as
on
Crypto
Twitter
at
the
Crypto
Comedy
and
Epic
DJ
Afterparty,
hosted
by
Expert
DOJO
and
Alpha
Transform.
It’s
an
event
you
can
pop
in
and
out
of,
running
from
6:00
p.m.
to
1:00
a.m.
at
the
Empire
Control
Room
&
Garage.
If
you’re
looking
to
stay
out
extra
late,
XPUNKS
is
inviting
you
to
the
“The
Punkhouse,”
they’re
conceptual
rave

Vulcan
Gas
Company.
While
Chainlink
is
hosting
its
“Birthday
Bash”
to
celebrate
the
fifth
anniversary
of
its
mainnet
launch.
Both
“end”
at
2
a.m.,
and
are
on
a
first
come,
first
serve
basis.
For
something
bound
to
be
exceptionally
swanky,
the
good
folks
at
TRON
are
hosting
a
soiree
at
the
Four
Seasons
hotel,
which
overlooks
a
scenic
section
of
the
Colorado
River.
Pitched
as
an
“exclusive
evening
of
luxury”
for
“an
elite
gathering
of
web3
industry
leaders
and
innovators,”
seating
is,
of
course,
limited.
Finally,
pioneering,
experimental
events
group
Nolcha
Shows
is
hosting
an
unusual
event
fit
for
men
and
machines.
Hosted
at
the
multi-level,
sprawling
venue
Superstition,
the
event
will
feature
interactions
with
AI
bots
designed
to
interact
with
Eigen
Layer,

and
others;

Whether
you
come
for
the
free

from
6:30
p.m.
–
8:00
p.m.
or
stay
for
the
main

a.m.,
this
is
one
production
you
won’t
want
to
miss.
