Last month I blogged about Kid Koala’s anti-social social event, Music to Draw To, in Montreal. Now he’s bringing the quiet tunes to New York, L.A., and Toronto for the Toronto Comic Arts Festival. Awesome.

3. Anti-Social Social: Kid Koala’s Music To Draw To in Montreal

If I was in Montreal I’d go to this.

Kid Koala has dedicated three Mondays in March (kicking off tonight) to quiet music he has found in his travels, so people can get creative. Show up for five hours of quiet-time records with your sketchbook, knitting, notebook, or any other creative project. Says Kid Koala:

I was working on the Space Cadet book and realized at 8 hours a page I would have to log another 800 hours of alone time before this book would see the light of day. It would be great if there was a place I could go be social and anti-social at the same time. Somewhere I could look up from my desk and see something other than the wall.

As the site says, “Quiet people are invited. Bring something to work on. No dancing.” What a great idea. I hope it’s a huge success and we begin to see more events like this: creative anti-social socials.
