Night Life Reprogrammed
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."

Garysguide - Technology and Media Events Calendar
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.

"People once were siloed," he says. "Now they participate and things start rolling. Going to events, it stirs the waters." And that's certainly what the economy needs right about now.
