Niche List: Non Social Media Week Edition

First off, I don’t hate “Social Media Week”. It just reminds me of those made up Hallmark holidays like Sweetheart Day. I will be attending a few Social Media events next week which is like pre-gaming for the big orgy of tech networking, SXSW. I will be there, too.
Anyway, these are a few fun events for the first week of February.

Feb 1. Valentine Craft Night at Etsy Labs (55 Washington Street) with Rachel Johnson of SwapBot. 4-8PM. FREE

Feb 2. Summit Bar on Avenue C is making fancy drinks. Free tastes and $6 cocktails. 6-8PM

Feb 2. Aziz Ansari is back in town to promote his new comedy CD and to answer questions at the Soho Apple Store. 7PM

Feb 5. Carolyn Castiglia’s Splurge. It is a comedy show with LIVE music (Adira Amram), funny comics and a video. Happy Ending. 8PM Free

The Week in Links (Say Cheese!)

Walking On Sunshine

“Cheese, glorious, cheese…”  I got a copy of The Cheese Chronicles, a new book about cheese by Liz Thorpe from Murray’s Cheese Shop.

Bill Wadman, the photographer who the wonderful 365 Portraits project, now has a book.  I stopped the book party at a lovely apartment in Chelsea.

Thursday, I went to the Girl Geek Dinner which was so much fun. Cathy Erway, Vanessa Bertozzi of Etsy blog, The Storque, and Jessica Faye Carter were the speakers.

I’m working on a new website that will launch this week. Check out We Inspire.

Saturday,  I stopped by Nadine’s birthday drinks. She is working on some cool stuff.

Vote for my SXSW panel, “The Broke Diaries: Using Blogs and Twitter to Live On The Cheap”.
