MashMeet NYC

Another MashMeet was down at the PourHouse in the East Village last night. It was a lot of fun to go down with the girls from work, Jackie & Naomi, and to meet up with blogga friends. It was a definite geek fest-- not only were there only about 7 girls there (of which we were 3), but when going to a tech part-ay, always be prepared to hear the pitch for someone's "new" app (aka: "social network thing"). Poor Jackie and Naomi got cornered within 3 seconds of setting foot inside by some guy touting FreezeCrowd--Naomi: "Oh, it sounds like Facebook" Guy: "Its totally NOT like Facebbok".....too bad they probably built it with Facebook's API and it DOES look suspiciously like, well, you guessed it. I managed to dodge the elevator pitches whilst engaged in conversation with bloja (thats blogga + ninja) friend Nicholas. Did get to meet Allen Stern which was great-- "I follow your Twitter" was the opener. Allen had pictures and a follow up this morning of the shindig. Rounded out the night with a late sushi dinner...Jackie and Naomi are hilarious and had the whole table rolling. Good times!

Glad everything is winding down a bit (only to crank back up Jan 1)...can't wait for some Cali sun and relaxation!
