Day 3 and 4 of AdTech NYC 2010

Nov 9, 2010

After a long night partying Thursday morning I ended up sleeping in and got up around 1pm and hit the show floor around 2pm. I quickly made my way up and down the show floor again just in case I missed a booth and also grabbed a bunch of schwag from all the booths. I have to say I hope you didn’t have shitty schwag at the conference otherwise you might be ragged on about it soon, but I’m gonna keep quiet about that right now. I was talking to a couple affiliates at the c2m booth and seeing who was staying the night and decided to put together a private dinner for us and rounded some people up who were able to attend.

Along the way at the conference I ran into Eleah and said hi and talked a bit about adsimilis, who also by the way sponsored the ASE Affiliate Dinner so hit her and them up, and where she’s wants to take the company now that she’s working there. As we were chatting it up guess who decided to stop by, Mr. I’m loud on twitter and even louder in person, Mr. Donkey rope I’m anything but broke Mr. Cheya Boi.  It was great to meet him and hang out for a bit and shoot the shit and talk business on a couple things. It was funny actually cause at this point the conf was over and people were ripping down booths and we were all sitting in the beer garden so Rob aka bofizzle decided to meetup and we all chilled some more till we said f this lets get out of here.

So  for dinner I decided on Capitol Grille on 42nd as its a wonderful place to eat. Some people of the group didn’t know what to expect but a great time was had by all. The service was great even tho we were a little loud at times and ended up shutting the place down. So after a couple hours of good conversation, drinks, and good food we decided to bounce. Standing outside I called a limo and we all piled in, this time I did wait for billy lol, and headed to a bar to grab some drinks. After The bar we all went over to the london to the ECM party that was in full swing. I’d like to thank ryan and the crew for inviting me over to the party as those guys had massive amounts of bozze and chasers all over the place. The party was bumping with music and I met a bunch of people there. The crew and I started getting a little hungry so after about 2 hours at the awesome ECM party at the london we decided to walk around the corner to Rays Pizza and have a slice or two. It was getting really late and decided to head back to the hotel as I had to leave in the morning.

Come Friday morning we checked out of the hotel and Cheya Boi met us outside and we drove over to china town in the escalade for lunch. I met my uncle there who is a seasoned officer of the NYPD and has been an officer for many years. We ended up going to 69 bayard st for lunch. This place is awesome as every wall and almost all the tiles on the ceiling are covered in signed dollar bills. The food is great and the owner used to be a cook at the famous wo hop just a block away and decided to open his own place. The abundance of food was amazing and it was nice to see a couple aff’s try something other than americanized chinese food and eat some real chinese food. After lunch we went and dropped off Cheya Boi at his hotel and headed home into the sunset toward pa.

This conference was a good one, not so much as the actual conference, but networking with some old friends and new ones to work on projects and set business goals for the future. Despite what anyone says any conference where you get to just catch up and shoot the shit with old friends and make new ones is better than no conference at all.
