Back in NYC for Internet Week
Week 5 begins with a quick flight back to NYC where a nice couple newly relocated to Brooklyn put me up for the night. Their apartment is cute and they have an amazing view of the Manhattan skyline from their rooftop deck. Tom cooked up some dinner and we sat around talking for a couple hours before everyone turned in for the night. At the moment, Diana is at work, Tom is at the gym, and I just took a shower forgetting that I have not yet acquired a towel #awkward. I guess I hadn’t needed one yet, between hotels and the other people I’ve stayed with it just hadn’t been an issue. I used one of my t-shirts instead and draped it over a chair to dry. I’m thinking I should borrow a towel from the next hotel I stay at.
Tonight is the 2010 Webutante Ball and I’m pretty excited and curious about this little shindig. If you go to the bottom of the event’s website there is a funky little symbol that informs you that if you download a particular iPhone app and point your camera at the symbol, it will give you the info on how to RSVP for the exclusive after party. Of course I tried this…talk about feeling like a secret agent…it was pretty exhilarating. I got the secret code deciphered…emailed the newly acquired address and am currently waiting for a response…I may have sounded too excited in my e-mail. One little catch about this function…I found out last night that the dress code is cocktail attire…hmmm…don’t have anything like that in my bag. I’ll spend the rest of the afternoon trying to secure some new threads and hopefully they won’t bounce me if I show up in jeans and a t-shirt.
More updates from internet week coming soon! Signing off.

I found this post while looking for rock lyrics. Thanks for sharing will come back regularly.
Recent deals shows some nice threads from Alexander West. I’m sure you have a big archive available, check around prom time if you need black tie. Or maybe they’ll let you off easy if you roll up in a Ferrari from Classic Car Club.
go to the tux store and ask if you can advertise for them if them give a tux for the night.
did you find the correct dress atire? Where are you going after NYC?? if you need anything I can help with let me know I am in the Portland area right now but will be going to seattle, utah, or Idaho, and then to Wyoming!
Yes, I love what you wrote, but not with all of it. Regardless, it’s all good reading. Good stuff!

Hey, cool post, but WordPress screws it up on my computer. Maybe it’s the widget you have on the site. Have you tried a different CMS?
I love it!
I was scanning something else about this on another blog. Interesting. Your perspective on it is diametrically contradicted to what I read to begin with. I am still reflecting over the different points of view, but I’m tipped to a great extent toward yours. And irrespective, that’s what is so super about contemporary democracy and the marketplace of thoughts on-line.
When you go to Philly you HAVE TOin Old City - incredible chocolate tarts! I have not been to Philly in 6 years and I still think about them!
Ooops…..It is TARTES pastry shop on Arch Street across from Betsy Ross house!
Johnson Matthey Gold Bars - This is the best spam comment I’ve ever gotten!
So extremely glad I found this genuinely fantastic web page
Nice running into you last week at internet week — still laughing that you couldn’t take the “working” bottle opener off that makerbot cause it contained a penny! Good luck with everything! - @placenamehere
great write-up and some exciting views !!
I just wanted to say your blog is one of the nicely laid out, most inspirational I’ve come across in quite a while. Thx!
