Hosting a local “Pre-Networking” party in your random city prior to New York City
For example, in SF I hosted an event prior to *New York Fashion Week*. It culminated in my dancing with Olivia and meeting my @toryburch at her Amex Gala and getting shot by @PatrickMcMullan #NYFW pic.twitter.com/ES40NZPczX |

Your first event will be
– an UnOfficial #AfterParty in your local city – preroll for the conference you’d attend if your company were making $3,000,000/month Both. Mutually inclusive of BOTH. [#DJapi, 2 #ExternalAPI’s together for one crappy little event you do] |

BIG Problem: You’re gonna wanna hire someone to do all these details
Solution. You cannot delegate this core function. You can’t outsource distribution or you will die. D is For Distribution which is #cs183d which @StanfordEng skipped. Save yourself. Save 🐶 pic.twitter.com/OfrvRN0NlE |
