Meetup, I hardly knew ye! After a short-lived, four-month stint, Monday was my last day at Meetup.com! My former boss Court took a job as CEO of Yodle.com (a startup that helps local businesses use the internet to generate leads), and when he offered me the chance to head up Yodle's product group, I jumped at the chance to work together again.
I told Court that I wanted to take a couple of weeks off before starting the new job and immediately started planning a trip! (I ended up going to Egypt for two weeks. More on that soon!)
After we finished discussing what we planned on doing with the millions of dollars we were all certain to win in the lottery tomorrow, we pounded our drinks...
...when this dude basically busted in and PULLED THE PLUG ON OUR PARTY! We'd all just ordered two rounds of drinks, and the person at the door didn't bother to tell our party TWENTY PEOPLE that we'd only be able to keep the room for 45 minutes. (PS - Is somebody throwing a tiny, leather fedora at the bouncer in protest? Oh, nvrmnd. Looks like it's just a tiny, leather decorative fedora that's been nailed to the wall. You stay classy, 2nd on 2nd!)
On Friday night, I went out with a whole bunch of my Meetup co-workers. Christina left Meetup earlier in the week and still came out to party with everyone - so we decided to turn it up....TO ELEVEN!
Wednesday was just a normal day at work - but around noon, we noticed that something strange was going on in one of the offices across from our building.
On Friday afternoon Posh Tony called me and told me that he and Adam were shooting a new video for Antony's band for a song called Alice. When I asked what the video was about, he told me that they were going around to different places, putting the song on a boombox and having random strangers dance to it. I told them to pack up their camera and come to my work and that I'd get a bunch of my co-workers to dance for them.
