<\/p>\nI was down right honored to be asked to speak at Creative Mornings, and what better topic then WEIRD! \u00a0Creative Mornings is a global idea, with a chapter right here in Milwaukee\u00a0run by\u00a0Paul and Kate.\u00a0This months topic is WEIRD. Producing live events and working with creative people of all types is certainly a weird job. \u00a0I try to embrace my weirdness and all it entails!<\/p>\n
The concept is\u00a0simple: breakfast and a short talk one Friday morning a month, and every\u00a0month is\u00a0free of charge and open to anyone. Attendees gather in cities around the world to enjoy fresh coffee, friendly people, and an international array of breakfast foods. Volunteer hosts and their team members organize local chapters that not only celebrate a city\u2019s creative talent, but also promote an open space to connect with like-minded individuals.<\/p>\n
On Friday, August 26th, we\u2019re returning with Matt Kemple, founder of\u00a0Milwaukee Comedy<\/a>\u00a0and the Milwaukee Comedy Festival (in case you missed it at the beginning of August, they just celebrated their\u00a011th year), and co-founder of the upcoming\u00a0Milwaukee Fringe Festival<\/a>, a multiday event celebrating theater, dance, music and visual art. When he\u2019s not lining up creative and hilarious events, you can find him in\u00a0The Underground Collaborative<\/a>, a space\u00a0complete with art galleries, recording booth, dance studios, and a theater, meant to be a resource for creatives in many disciplines. Below we caught up with Matt to get to know him better.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
