Going Bi-Coastal, It's Official

You know you're spending too much time some place when the locals don't know you're not from here. That's what the experience has been like for me here in the Bay Area. Quite frankly, I love it out here - it really feels like the home I never had.

As we continue to grow things with SocialRoots, it's becoming more and more clear that my time here is not just enjoyable but required. I anticipate that I will be committing anywhere from 1-2 weeks per month for the remainder of the year - going live is a real pain in the arse.

The problem, of course, is that Starbucks doesn't scale all that well. I've been working from Starbucks for the last 2 years or so - I even work there despite my office in NYC. Sometimes you need some quiet, other times you just need some space to write on the walls. I've found that space.

Starting September 1, I'll be joining friends like Chris Heuer, partners like Stowe Boyd, and a league of other very cool and innovative startups who will remain nameless. It's a sweet location 2 blocks from the ball park and 2 blocks from South Park. I'm one block away from RubyRed Labs as well as 21st Amendment - great beer.

Ironically enough, I'm also leaving today - back to New York, the proverbial "home". I'm not sure when I will be back actually. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks, but it seems unlikely.
