These last few months have been nothing short of amazing. The sublet hop could not be going better and I continue to meet amazing people around every corner. However, my time living in Boerum Hill/Park Slope/Atlantic Yards/Gowanus got cut fairly short because I have been traveling back and forth to San Francisco for my new job. I don’t want to get into details around work here–as its a personal/travel blog. But, I am really happy with the new gig and surrounded by amazing people and energy at Sharethrough. It is also equally amazing to see how well Branded Evolution, the consulting business I co-founded (I am now on the advisory board) is doing. I am also working on plans to launch a professional blog which I will write in conjunction with Dave Ford Does Earth–as I have much to discuss on people and happenings in the social video advertising world(More to come on this later).
Regarding my last stay on the sublet hop, I ended up living in Lilly’s studio apartment in Atlantic Yards for less than a month. But, it was a memorable one for sure. I’ll be posting a video in the next couple of days. This place was wild to say the least. I’ll miss my new friend Leo the fat cat. The neighborhood was pretty interesting and up and coming–with great bars and restaurants. But, I heard from my new friend and Pakastani/Saudi Arabian deli owner Usman, that crime has been rising in the area and that a cop was murdered not far from where I lived. This is both interesting and not cool. I felt very safe the entire time.
In April and May I am staying at a fantastic place in the heart of the West Village. Ironically, this blog enabled my new place. My friend Laurea (who I haven’t seen in 2 years) read one of my blog posts that magically appeared on her Facebook stream–and quickly shot me a note about her friend Brit (A wonderful Australian) who took a consulting gig in London and needed someone to stay in her place for a couple of months. I have always wanted to explore the West Village and I am really excited to live smack dab in the heart of it. The roof of this place is just plain silly. Its a co-op and there are tight rules about how many people can come over. Otherwise, I’d be planning quite the rooftop get together.
It is also very cool that this situation appeared out of thin air! So, In accordance with this new trajectory, I am throwing it out to the universe that I want to live in Red Hook in Brooklyn in June and July. If anyone knows anyone that knows anyone let me know!
So far, three months into this experiment, I have hung out in the “art belt” in Clinton Hill, lived in a bizarro-land (with a nice fat cat named Leo) in the middle 4 neighborhoods in Brooklyn by the Atlantic-Pacific subway stop, and have now found myself on one of the nicest blocks in the West Village in a beautiful doorman-ed apartment. I have also managed to further condense “my stuff”–which feels really great. I am getting close to having only what I really need: business clothes, regular clothes, computer, and a few books (but I am buying a kindle this week).
I like the way this experiment is going and energy levels are high.
