VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Looking Glass Labs Ltd. (“LGL” or the “Company”), a digital agency specializing in non-fungible token (“NFT”) architecture, immersive extended reality (“XR”) metaverse design, and virtual asset royalty streams, is pleased to announce that the Company’s flagship studio, House of Kibaa (“HoK”), will be hosting a private social event (the “HoK Party”) exclusively for holders of NFTs issued by HoK at 7:00 PM Eastern Time on Wednesday, November 3, 2021. The HoK Party, which is a celebration of the successful launch of GenZeroes NFTs, will occur at the 48 Lounge located at 1221 Avenue of the Americas in New York City near Times Square.
As previously announced by LGL, all 10,000 GenZero NFTs from HoK were sold in just 37 minutes for total proceeds of approximately CAD $6.2 million, with more than 3,000 unique wallets purchasing the NFTs.

NFT.NYC was first held in 2019, and is recognized by Forbes as the world’s largest NFT conference.

Holders of NFTs issued by HoK can benefit from unique networking opportunities by attending the HoK Party. All attendees are welcome to enjoy an open bar and gourmet food, compliments of LGL, along with an exciting selection of gifted merchandise and music performed by a live DJ.

Dorian Banks, Chief Executive Officer of LGL commented, “NFTs are picking up great momentum as the world’s leading brands and artists are embracing this innovative technology. NFT.NYC is only in its third year and tickets are already sold out due to an impressive global roster of speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, and attendees who are eager to sharpen their knowledge of NFTs as they continue to become an increasingly relevant part of everyday life. We are excited to be part of the NFT.NYC 2021 ecosystem while providing an opportunity for HoK’s NFT holders to celebrate the popularity of their assets, in what we expect to be a very memorable event exclusively for community members who we look forward to hosting at the HoK Party next week.”
