tumblr meetup: what i’ve learned…
Each month Esquire has an awesome column, What I’ve Learned, where famous people share anecdotes of what they’ve learned throughout their lives. In a blatant copy of their super idea lets all share THREE things we learned last night.
Me first.
- The West Village is also ghetto (take that Brooklyn!) Jessica, Erin & I almost saw someone shoot at cops (or 100 cops shoot at him?) outside Fatty Crab at 1ish A.M.
- David Karp is one great guy: smart, humble, cool. One of those people that you really find yourself wanting to get the success he deserves. (And his girlfriend kicks ass! love love Amy!)
- Overall everyone was just as wonderful as I hoped they would be. I can’t wait to continue to get to know you, offline.
Lets never go to a place without liquor again.
Reblog y’all!
1. Everyone showed up! At 9:30, I was alone on a couch talking to Chris. No one else was there. We were worried the meetup was taking place in another area of the bar. Ten minutes later, the place was jumping.
2. Things about me that people believed initially:
I’m an astronaut
I’m David Karp (“Yeah, I created tumblr” = failsafe pickup line at a tumblr meetup).
I can’t remember a third one because I drank upwards of 1 beer.
3. I’m going to organize another meetup… hopefully with an open bar.
Bonus thing I’ve learned: I curse a lot when I’m meeting people for the first time. Must be a nervous tic.
