ROOM FROM THE COUCH

Welcome Home, Cousin— This Ain’t Just a Blog, It’s Family Business.

Pull up, cousin. If you found yourself here, that means you’ve heard the call—whether it was a song that hit different, a night you didn’t want to end, or a moment when the vibe just felt right. Either way, you’re tapped in now. Welcome to From the Couch—where we break down the culture, connect the cousins, and keep you in the loop on everything The Homeplace is building.

And before you ask—yes, there’s room for you right here.

WHY THE COUCH MATTERS

The couch ain’t just furniture—it’s where the best stories get told, the realest convos go down, and strangers become family. Whether you're hyping up a cousin hitting the mic at The Hook, vibing low-key at Sip & Sing, or catching a creative spark at The Clubhouse, every moment connects us.

But what happens when the night’s over? That’s where From the Couch comes in. This is where we keep the energy going—sharing recaps, behind-the-scenes moments, spotlights on creatives, and maybe even a few secrets from The Red Cup Prophecy (but only if you’re ready for that part of the story).

LAST WEEK’S VIBE CHECK: THE HOOK KARAOKE

If you weren’t at The Hook last Thursday… whew. Let’s just say you missed a night that’ll be talked about until next month’s drop. From cousins hitting Mariah notes like they had something to prove, to the whole crowd turning up for a throwback R&B set—the energy was unmatched.

💡 Highlight of the night: Somebody hit the stage, and left no crumbs on a surprise Prince cover. If you know, you know. If you don’t—just ask around.

Missed it? Don’t trip—we’re back next Thursday. 🎤

COUSIN SPOTLIGHT: WHERE CREATIVITY LIVES

This month, we’re giving flowers to Jasmine “Jazz” Carter—a Bay Area poet whose words hit harder than the bassline at The Clubhouse. If you caught her set last week, you already know she’s got that gift. When asked why The Homeplace feels like home, she said:

🗣️ “It’s the first place I ever performed where I felt like I didn’t have to explain myself. Nobody asked me where I was from—they just called me cousin and listened. That’s powerful.”

Yeah. We felt that too.

WORD ON THE STREET: NEW EVENTS COMING SOON

We heard you loud and clear—y’all want more spaces, more vibes, and more ways to tap in. Without spilling too much, just know that new events are on the horizon—including a few that might just change how you think about live music and immersive art. And yes, cousins on the newsletter list get first dibs on tickets. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

👉🏽 Sign up now. Don’t get left outside when the couch is full.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Until next time, cousin—keep the vibe alive. Whether you’re creating, connecting, or just holding space for yourself, know this: You’re part of something bigger now. And whenever you need a reminder, you know where to find us.

So next time you see that Red Cup?
🔴 Write your name. Take the sip. Tap in.

Because this is more than an event—it’s home.
