Lunch 2.0

I live in Santa Monica. This Friday, I drove a total of 5+ hours to SD and back — just so I could help put together a Lunch 2.0 and help the local community grow.

Was it worth it?

I wasn’t sure for a while, then I ran into a guy I used to compete aggressively with at a past startup. (His name is Jonathan Lieberman and you can see him in this picture.) Over pizza, we found ourselves joking about the way we fought for market share. (He sent my users “get out of jail free” cards to convince them to leave me and move to his service.) And we became friends. That’s why I like organizing Lunch 2.0 events. You can’t connect like this over the phone.

Any way, here’s a slide show of pictures from that event:

And you can see my flickr shots here.Thank you eventful for having us to your office. And thank you Dan Tentler and Edward O’Connor for hosting with me (Andrew Warner).(Hey, if you’re reading this, could you let me know by poking me on Facebook?)
