(no subject)
Things have occurred. I went to my parents' house and the Foursquare New York office for a bit in November, then back to SF, then back to the East Coast for Christmas and New Years.
This included visiting my parents again, which was nice, as well as dinner with aleffert, jcreed and Karolina. Then I went up to Boston to hang out with CTYers (including calledtovienna) for New Years, which was lovely. Kate and I stayed in a bed and breakfast rather than Reuven and Ellen's (our gracious hosts) floor, as is traditional, but that was clearly a good decision. I also hung out with a bunch of MIT people I have heard of but had not gotten a chance to meet before. This included at a party after midnight on New Year's, where I ran into Ross Hatton, which was nice.
Here are the people who attended the reu, as tradition dictates I write:
Ekate
mkehrt
Reuven
Ellen
Jai
Belle
Humza
Jon
Ken
Tal
Becca
P.J.
Maggie
Annie (maggie's bff)
Lisa
C.J.
This may be missing some people, but was copied from the official guest list.
After that, Kate left for SF, and I went back to New York to work some more. I recently changed teams (now doing location search!), and it was good to talk to some of the people who had previously done this in NY who pointed me in a lot of good directions. I also got dinner with Akiva and Matus, Annie and her fiance Michael, my parents, Matus again, drinks with Sara Bee, dinner with Akiva and Nikki, brunch with Ed, Misha and Julie yesterday, and then afterward spent five and a half hours in a bar with Misha, talking about life. Then he left, and I spent a long time sobering up and talking to a lovely couple next to me (Lindsay and Zach?), before meeting Jon, Lee and Meryl for dinner and another beer.
This morning I moved out of my AirBnB, and am now waiting to meet Akiva and Ed for nuncheon, before flying back to SF.
