Internet Week 2009: After the NY Tech Meetup
Living in Jersey City makes it slightly more difficult to pop into the City for events. Case in point, my late arrival at the NYTM this week. I appeared just in time to see Jason Calacanis yap about Mahalo 2.0, but really, I missed the whole thing.
But I was able to salvage a bit of socialising out of the night. After the event, I met up with Julia and some other rascals, and we strolled it to Trailer Park, for a bit of all purpose hanging. I spent a moment getting to know Robert Murray, who I had previously met only at a Tech Karaoke, and Whitney Hess, a sassy Jewish gal born and raised in Manhattan. After discussing why work sucks, why relationships are hard, why New York is insane, and the variations in the quality of soda fountain Coke, I determined that it was time to call it a night. The long train ride back to JC.
Hail to my new friends. I’ll talk to you soon.
