So I’m here on the plane on the way back from New York. What a city.
(sidenote: as I’m writing this, the voluptuous Virgin America stewardness is shaking her ass bouncing up and down on the garbage bin trying to cram everything in lol)
On the plane over, made a cool startup/tech contact who was sitting next to me… he’s also a pimp: he was telling me how he #-closed the hot female *pilot* on his first connecting flight – yes, that’s right… the PILOT, not the stewardess
New York was insane. There are hot women roaming the streets EVERYWHERE during the day. Like, on EVERY street corner. There are even hotter women packing into the bars and clubs at night. CP & I were totally blown away.
We spent most of the time networking like madmen. I’ve said it before – the best line at any networking event is “Hi, my name’s whim.” Actually, that’s probably the best line everywhere lol.
Also got to hang out with BennyHanna, JA, BigJA, Grimble (from The Game) and I bumped into Bonsai/Sir Slick from the Lounge too.
Some interesting stuff I noticed:
- I’m getting really good at picking out DTF signals lol.
- There was one night where we went from a networking event to a bar. It was sorta weird. At the event, I was opening like crazy and talking to everyone. As soon as I hit the bar, I immediately had this thought: “Wait, these people aren’t here to meet other people”. What a load of bullocks. I need to do something to unwire this response.
- Talked a LOT with BennyHanna about how he works nighttime venues with a lower energy level. Interesting stuff (the key is self-amusement and enjoying yourself at night).
- BennyHanna is my new social circle/networking hero. This guy is insane at making people like him and meeting high-value connectors.
- At one point CP & I were talking to this ok-looking 3 set at a networking party, and they’re like “We work for (well-known social media company), we live in San Francisco”. Even though we were just talking business, as soon as they found out we were from SF they were all typical-SF “why are there men talking to us?” and blew us out. Seriously. I know their boss, and I want to send them more business but the fact that I’m a guy from SF means that they don’t to discuss it with me? WTF. Check out Why there are no girls in San Francisco
- I really want to move to NYC now.
