Last week, we held the first-ever The Collective party at Berry Nakameguro. This was an event put together for freelancers by freelancers, and we're thankful for the 120+ freelancers and friends of freelancers that came out to have a great night with us.

We as Sollective wanted to put together something for our community as well as other freelancers in Japan. We believe that freelance is a lifestyle, not just a work style, and we're so pleased to be celebrating just as hard as we work. Last Thursday, we had a great DJ lineup, amazing Lightning Talks, delicious tacos, and a load of fun at the photobooth!

We'd like to give a special thanks to all the DJs and artists that played last night: mimiko, Plymouth Jin, Mei, FU, Harlem Gee, ChamCham, ham, the lightning talk speakers Ken, Chisa, Taichi, and TAKOBAR for the amazing food, PicTokyo for the fun photobooth, and of course a big shout out to Bar Berry for hosting!

A special thank you to Yoko Fredericka Matsuo and Orion Johnson for planning support!

Check out some highlights from the night – and we hope you'll join us for Vol 2!
