I've said this before on Hacker News, and now I wish to repeat, if you live in New York City, I host a once-a-month party, mostly for tech people. Very informal. You can get the vibe from the photos here: http://www.smashcompany.com/philosophy/everyone-was-amazing-and-youre-awesome http://www.smashcompany.com/philosophy/everyone-was-amazing-... It's simply meant to give people a chance to meet other like minded people. Especially in this era of working-from-home it is too easy to end up feeling isolated, so hosting a regular party like this is, I think, a non-stressful way for people to connect. I mentioned this 78 days ago and 6 people from Hacker News have been attending the most recent 3 parties: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27952414 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27952414 You can text me at 434 825 7694

This is great on so many levels. That’s a great model that would work well in almost any town. I’d definitely go if I was in New York. Well done!

Just out of concern for your mobile, you should put a challenge for your phone number at least. There's a ton of scrapers out there that pick up phone numbers and automatically add you to spam call lists and the like. As for the invitation, unfortunately not in New York (or the States), but if I'm ever around I'd probably love to join.

  My cell phone number hasn't changed since March of 2001 and I've had it listed on my personal weblog since April of 2001. I also list it in my Twitter bio: https://twitter.com/krubner https://twitter.com/krubner In 20 years I've never had a problem. If you ever visit NYC, please reach out.
