Cocktails with Carl

<p><b>Why this event exists:</b> GM! Spaces is building a home for Milwaukee's independent creators and small businesses, and Season Zero is the pilot — three gatherings at Haven Cafe that turn “I should make something” into a plan. Cocktails with Carl is checkpoint two: <b>find the people.</b></p><p><b>What happens:</b></p><ul><li><b>7:00 — Doors & drinks.</b> The OnlyLemon menu is pouring; say gm, meet the room.</li><li><b>7:30 — Ninety-second showcases.</b> Selected builders show what they're making — no decks, no pitches, just the work. Want a slot? Say so on the registration form.</li><li><b>8:15 — Open floor.</b> Builders meet collaborators, mentors, and Milwaukee business owners. The night's drink perk is redeemed live in the GM! Spaces app at the counter — the product demos itself.</li></ul><p><b>Who it's for:</b> artists, developers, shop owners, freelancers — anyone building something in Milwaukee, alone or with a team. No portfolio review. No list you have to already be on.</p><p><b>Experience menu:</b></p><ul><li><b>$0 Creator RSVP</b> — pull up, come as you are.</li><li><b>$12 Studio Supporter</b> — back the studio and unlock the special drink menu: a <b>Lemonade Mimosa</b> or the <b>Lemonade Mimosa Mocktail</b>, poured with OnlyLemon.</li></ul><p>Season Pass holders: your seat is already reserved — claim it with your code.</p><p>Presented by GM!
