Being Citybroke is about perspective. It’s about seeing glitter in the gutter and a sense of humor when life is giving you everything you don’t exactly want and you’re hanging on for a dream that you sometimes can’t remember.
It’s not sales or survival - it’s an electronic letter from the trenches. It’s what suits who make $60K in at age 24 can’t even imagine. It’s Freedom. It’s Poverty. It’s Broken. It’s Beautiful.

One Golden Site Compliments of NY Tech meetup

Tuesday night iSave and I wandered over to Barry Diller's new digs on the westside highway to attend the New York Tech Meetup event. There were about 350 brains in attendance. We created a bit of a flurry when we came in because we represented about one-fifth of all females present. After settling in the demos began. With 5 minutes to present, tech entrepeneurs are allowed to pitch their concept to venture capitalists, journalists and other entrepenuers.

Here's my favorite:
Gilt.com allows you to shop high-end sample sales online. They photograph all their merch so the site looks as elegant as the lines they carry: Derek Lim, Le Perle etc. Catch: It's invite only. If you can get an invite the brands are pretty amazing and so are the prices.

Actual posting: Our old gaming group moved/retired/etc and I?m sick of DMing. Itching to play again. I?ve got 25+ years experience but little recently particularly with 3rd Edition. Looking to play with fairly normal people/campaign not silly 30th level stuff.
