last night, i hung out with my friend alex and saw startup.com...whoa. it's a documentary following the lives of 2 guys who got into the whole dot-com boom, succeeded immensely and then crashed harder than they ever imagined. i really enjoyed this movie...i'm sure the producers of the documentary had no idea what kind of drama could happen when they first started...and all sorts of things happened...from the CEO meeting bill clinton to one guy having to fire his best friend and co-CEO from the company only months before it goes under. i would love to see the reactions of friends of mine who went through all of this in the last 2 years...traveling to meet VC's, staying up all night programming and eating pizzas, etc.

i forgot to mention that my friend gary is back in town! i'm so excited! he was the only person i knew in seattle when i first moved here as we had studied abroad together in spain...then last summer, he decided to move down to florida for a year just to check it out...and he finally moved back to seattle last week. i'm determined to hang out with him more this time.
