Seattle startup poker2.0

It was definitely interesting Tuesday. Unexpected full day with Lindsey is definitely the highlight.

Haircut, walking the dog, visiting my house for the first time, running into Katy, and small talk.

Poker2.0 was as I expected. Nothing super fancy. Majority guys, few girls grabbing tables to play poker and getting to know each other a bit. It was definitely not a networking focused which is quite different from other events. People are more for the poker, game itself, enjoying the time and small talk with people around them. My guess is that these are already well established entrepreneurs who do not have huge need.

There was an occasion where people stood up in front of the room to introduced themselves and talk. apparently Lindsey went up but I missed it.

She was definitely not shy or was weak. She rarely stood by my side. She did her own thing. I liked that. We did not even sit at the same table for the poker which makes sense.

Finding her the invitation from Bob was not as challenging as I expected. I guess majority had to do with her provious accomplishment with her startup and fact that she got a funding from angel investor.

I am not sure if I enjoy her presence or admire her personality. Either way, I would like the friendship.

I met few people that I wanted to meet. Since I have done bit of research on what these people have created and what problem they are solving, all I had to do was put the name to the face.

I met Dan from maptini. A mind mapping app for iPhone and iPad. I was very excited to find that he was sitting next to me for the poker and we quickly got to know each other as soon as I showed my interest in mind mapping. He took my card and later sent me couple promo code to download the app for free. I accidentally ended up paying for it. Bummer.


Lease is going to end soon. End of July. Current tentative plan is to live with Katy. Her parsimonious drive for living will drive us to out of city. I am not quite sure aout all of this. I have not put whole lot of thought into it. I always thought that Abby and I will be living together. Katy told me that she is planning on moving to California. It is ironic for so many reasons.

Ilan asked me today whether I want to pick a girl amongst those I have been dating to get serious.

This constant sickness and headache is really restricting me from thinking, I desire for congnitive enhancement. Lately YC hacker new is really catching my attention.
