I believe it was sometime in 2008/09 I attended the first meeting of the NYC HN Meetup in Madison Square Park (pretty sure the meetup is now dead). I met a lot of amazing people from the NYC tech scene that I still keep in touch with. We've helped each other start companies, find jobs, build things, and create lasting friendships outside of work / tech. I miss those days...
