The Full Rundown

SXSW is taking over JellyJelly this week. @iqram is running THREE artist stages at South by Southwest with AI integration, and he's not being shy about it — 'You're gonna hear about Jelly after South by Southwest. I'm just telling you.' @sangoosy is already on the ground catching weird Austin vibes, including Lyft's piggyback rides.

But the real story this week is the community love. @anuhya dropped one of the most genuine moments we've seen: 'I love our community. It is so nice. It's like the nicest trip I've ever been to. Holy shit.' And it's not just talk — @dusty_karma is organizing IRL community cleanups and crypto talks in Williamsburg, @MalteseInAMcLaren got Venmo-funded jazz sessions going ('Best city in the fucking world. There's your Jelly Jelly Jazz.'), and @YlianaRodriguez is putting friends on to the app over ramen.

Meanwhile NYC creators are documenting the city everywhere. @shik caught the Trojan Horns performing live on 42nd Street, @anuhya is counting down to Saint Patty's on Stone Street, @eugenes explored LV on Fifth, and @iqram captured express train vibes at 107th Street.

The builder energy stays strong too. @iqram was at ClawCon ('Jellyfish and lobster. Did they get along? I think they get along.'), @Athar is using JellyJelly to practice storytelling, and @cyclecease had the most satisfying victory moment of the week after a grueling turbo install: 'She's alive. Boys, she's alive.'
