Ms.Pixel Goes to Jeff Pulver’s Breakfast in NYC

This morning I attended Jeff Pulver’s breakfast in New York. It was held at Friend of a Farmer, a cute and down to earth venue 5 blocks of North of Union Square.

The event was scheduled to start at 8:00 am. I woke up super early to get there but it was worth it. I met good people! I regret not taking any pictures. Every time I cover an event I forget to take pictures. I also regret not collecting more business cards. So the list of people I met is filled with holes.

Awesome people who gave me their business cards:

Allison Blass - Allison is a writer who is all about web 2.0 apps. I think we’re around the same age (early to mid-twenties). She blogs about health issues and living with Type 1 diabetes.

Brett M. PeterselThis guy is a super connector. I was amazed by the number of people he was able to engage in meaningful conversations.  In crowded situations I tend to gravitate to few folks and then hang out with them until I leave. Brett is the Events Director at Mashable. I told him how much I loved SummerMash NYC. I took 3 of those color change cups home.

Adam Hirsch – He has a very good voice. He should star in his own podcast if he hasn’t already. Adam writes for Mashable.

People I’m looking for (Meaning: I forgot to get their business cards)

Yuki - A young woman with a zest for dancing. She’s taken classes in swing, hip hop and jazz.

Social Media Strategist from 360i - She helps 360i’s clients conduct social media marketing campaigns. We had a great conversation about our jobs, the delectable breakfast food, and my gaming addition. Her name escapes me at the moment. I’m hoping David Berkowitz can help me track her down.

Tall Man with Stylish Green Socks (Amus?) – I think his name was Amus. He works for a start-up that provides back-up solutions for mobile phones.He made a point of showing me his green socks when I asked about his green tie.  He likes to match.

If you recognize these individuals could you let me know?
