nyc tumblr meetup recap
One recap to rule them all!That was one helluva night, folks. It was sort of like going to a high school reunion but the only people there were the ones you truly wanted to see and were honestly interested in catching up with. And then you weren’t disappointed by one thing they said or did, and you wish that every new person you meet in life could be so endearing.
I met a lot of great people. First there was Chris and Jeff, we could have talked about TV for hours. Actually, we did. And then Sara and Amy, they’ve both got sick style. Jessica and I discovered we both used to live in Ft. Wayne, Indiana! It was a pretty big deal to meet Anthony. Sarah and I hit it off, and I wish I had gotten to talk to Rach and Erin more. Oh and my e-crush Mark was in town from Virginia! Jay was really nice, and needs a major follower boost. Aussies Rachel and Monica were a great surprise! Lee and Zach were the life of the party. David, Marco and Tiffany are such a pleasure to be around. What are the chances that I would meet not just one funny Amir, but another funny Amir as well. Chris and I bonded over the sad, sad absence of Aaron, who WILL be present at the next meetup. Jay was pretty intense. My new favorite trio were there: Josh, Vinnie and Travis.Of course, no party is complete without Peter. But, the one I was really hoping would be there and wasn’t, Patrick.
Alright, so when’s the next one?
Great job Lauren. Recapping so I don’t have to. Mine goes like:
iPhone just died. My co-workers don’t get Tumblr and will spend the rest of the night saying I’m such a geeky loser for ditching them for internet people. Now where the hell is Fat Cat? No map, not familar with the West Village. Ask directions. Run somewhere. Ask someone else. End up at the Fat Black Pussycat. This can’t be right. Leave. Ask more directions. Run hastily up and down the street. Ahh! There it is. Yes, this HAS to be it.
There’s people I know. There’s people I know from the internet. I hope they like my shirt. I hope they like me.
They DO! Oooh, PBRs are $3. I’ll take four please.
Wow, everything is running together as I meet cool and even cooler people that I can’t keep track of. Talking excitedly. Lots of hand gestures. Passionate about life. Maybe that’s just the PBR. No, it’s being surrounded by interesting people, yes, that’s propelling me into chatty converstion furvor. Love it.
Have no perception of time. Say goodbye to everyone I just said hello to. Feel great about being a part of something bigger than me. Everyone just gets it. Leave the bar.
Don’t know how I get home. I do know, however, that I didn’t set my alarm or charge my phone. Glad I went. Can’t wait for the next.
