IgniteNYC was just one of 12 tech events listed that evening on Garysguide.org, a new Web site that offers a social
calendar for 'Tech and New Media Folks' in New York.
An Indian immigrant, Gary Sharma, the founder of Gary's Guide, said he began attending events seven months ago
because he wanted to explore the potential for a software start-up company.
To keep track of the nightly happenings, he assembled a list for himself. Friends saw it and began asking him to
e-mail it to them.
In February, he put the list online, calling himself the Silicon Alley Reporter. By May, he realized he might want to
expand to other cities and changed the name to something less geographically rooted. Gary, like Craig, is a name that
might work anywhere. He has begun sister sites in Boston, Washington, Chicago and, two weeks ago, Los Angeles.
Now he is a nightly fixture at New York parties, always wearing a bright red tie and one of his four suits left over
from his days working as a marketer for a consulting company on Wall Street.
"Steve Jobs has his black turtleneck and jeans," he said before watching the soldering event at IgniteNYC. "I have my
red tie."

We've reviewed a number of technology event guide services over the past couple of years. Most come and go because
they aren't able to get a good supply of events into the system. Since their launch, NY-based Garysguide has been
able to keep a good supply of NYC tech events in the system. If you've been to any tech events in the city, you've
certainly seen Gary... he's the man in the red tie.
Garysguide offers a comprehensive event guide (I'd say they have about 90% of all events) along with the ability to
note that you plan to attend the event (a mini social network). There's also a newsfeed to see what events other
members are going to. Lastly Garysguide offers a list of deals - which are conference discounts and sweepstakes to
win free passes.
Garysguide launched in NYC but continues to add new cities and now covers: Boston, Washington DC, Chicago, Los
Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco, Austin, San Diego, Denver, Toronto, Portland and Las Vegas. The key for Garysguide
to continue to grow is to make sure they have the best supply of events in the system for the cities they serve.
