For the third straight year we assembled at Jay’s place for Wingsfest or The Wings of Love or whatever he’s calling it. It was fun. Food, and then Rock Band. Nothing brings friends together like video games, music, and the necessary alcohol required to go crazy singing “My Sharona.” I wish I saw more of [...]

I went to see Jonathan Coulton. He’s awesome. Don’t know who he is? Better ask somebody.

Sing Sing is a crammed little ghetto-ass karaoke joint in the East Village. On this night, I found myself in one of the tiny private rooms with a dozen or so new-found friends from the local NY Tech scene. Not bad for a Friday.

When a friend tells me he’s going to be broadcasting live on the Internet for 72 straight hours, it’s part of my bizarre duty to turn up for a few hours and lighten the load. Turns out they powered through to 74, setting a new record and raising money for Asperger’s syndrome research. This weekend, [...]

I don’t usually go out for social time on a Sunday night, but cmon, it’s Internet week. Tonight’s event is a Tumblr/Next New Network party down in that Tribeca-ish area that no one really lays claim to. Side note: when did everything below Houston become Chinatown? WTF. Tonight’s even was fun. With the music and [...]

I try my hardest to avoid Times Square and that whole touristy rat run between the Port Authority and Bryant Park, but today we found ourselves at Dave & Busters on 42nd St. to meetup with the fellas from the Totally Rad Show. This event was low key, a nice subtle afternoon of gathering around [...]

Luckily, I didn’t have to travel too far for tonight’s festivities. After rugby, and appropriate showering, I walked over to Savalas on Bedford for an evening of cool beats in an air conditioned bar. Not a bad time, although the usual awkwardness of being the sober guy did eventually overtake my desire to make new [...]

It’s already becoming a tradition: Wiimbledone is the annual tournament, held at Barcade in Williamsburg, where competitors go head-to-head in Nintendo Wii tennis. What better way to spend a day than playing video games. And in the tradition of all things Williamsburg, competitors are encouraged to get really into things. Wear costumes, create cheeky team [...]

Out and about once again for Internet Week, this time to the an expo/networking event for Mashable in the Theatre District. Much of the same old crew but also a viable chance to meet some new folks. Wine and cheers were in full effect, and it overall it was a good time … until they [...]
