I thought, what would it sound like you played “Chocolate Rain” backwards. Luckily, the Internet is filled with people who think like me…

Oh lord.

Internet Week 2008: Tumblr Party

Scott — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 03:45:36 +0000

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 entertainment provided by a karaoke-style Rock Band exhibition, no one had reasons to complain about the DJ or the overall mood. After all, it was our friends on stage. And to my pleasant surprise, the ratios of male-to-female weren’t of the usual skew.

Made some friends, passed out some business cards, took some photos. Not bad for a Sunday night.

Internet Week 2008: Totally Rad Show meetup

Scott — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 19:40:57 +0000

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 three ordinary men and listening to what they have to say as if they are some sort of experts on everything. Fandom is a strange phenomenon.

Before I left, I had to jump in and steal a photo with Alex Albrecht. I guess I am a fan after all …

Internet Week 2008: Rocketboom Party

Scott — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 04:38:27 +0000

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 friends.

Internet Week 2008: Wiimbledon

Scott — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 17:46:35 +0000

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 names, be ironic. Mission: accomplished.

Internet Week 2008: Mashable Expo

Scott — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 23:40:52 +0000

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 turned the music way up and turned the place into a disco. Cmon.

Internet Week 2008: Live Diggnation

Scott — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 03:12:08 +0000

Whoa, I wasn’t expecting this! Kevin and Alex and the rest of the Revision3 crew came to town for the first annual Internet Week, and decided the time was right for New York’s first ever live taping of Diggnation.

We packed into Studio B, right here in Williamsburg. The line was around the block! Wall-to-wall geeks all jumping around like the animals that we are. This was an affair to be seen — The Rev3 guys are welcomed like rock stars to an audience that I thought would eat them alive. Welcome to New York.

I managed to find a space backstage hanging with Mike Lewis, Alana Taylor, Steph Agresta, Walt Ribiero , Natali del Conte, and many of my newfound geeky New York friends. A number of peeps were in from San Francisco as well, so it was a good time all-around. Of course it was exhausting.

Drexel Dance Ensemble show Spring 2008

Scott — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 03:01:15 +0000

The second part of the day was distinctively less violent than the rugby, but in much that same way, it was an alumni day. Meeting up with Jason, unplannedly, we watch the current troupe of dancers move upon the stage for a night.

Afterwards, we poked around and took a few photos. Nothing too spectacular. I guess I’m getting old, my photos aren’t nearly as fun as they’ve been in past years.

Rugby Alumni Day 2008

Scott — Sat, 31 May 2008 16:45:17 +0000

I’m not one for traditions for traditions sake, but I do enjoy the annual ritual that is the rugby alumni match. This year, we had the honour of doubling up with the girls team for a double-header of old-on-young rugby madness.

It’s true, we may have lost a step over the years, but getting together with the old boys is always a good time. Many of us are still playing, including myself, so we put an adequate spanking on the current, very young, team of Drexel ruggers.

Many photos, most are crap, more available after the jump.

Dinner with Friends

Scott — Fri, 16 May 2008 23:41:01 +0000

Out to the Hearland Brewery with Jessica, Laura, and Alicia. Spending too much money. Not particularly well documented night.
