Hello NYC!

It's Brett Goldstein and Jason Levin. It's another Monday morning in the weirdest city on earth. Speaking of weird, has anyone else been seeing these billboards?

Also weird is these noises coming from my (Brett's) radiator. It's week 2 of living in NYC and I haven't had a good night's sleep yet - the train shaking my apartment doesn't help either!

Oh btw - we're getting rid of EVERYTHING at the Launch House Chelsea Clubhouse and holding a 3 day Garage Sale starting Friday! Check out some of the items here

WHAT'S POPPIN IN NYC

monday (3/20)

• Jason Fox's Art - Jason Fox has his art (above) on exhibition at The David Kordansky Gallery in Chelsea. Wen NFT PFP though?

tuesday (3/21)

• Museum of Failure - The only museum you probably don't want to be in. Come stop by this pop-up museum with exhibits on AI, financial failures, and more. This is where we'd make a snarky comment about a failed startup, but failure is GOOD (it means you actually tried something) and we have enough snark from journalists 😜

• Secret Science & Squids - Ok, this definitely looks like THE most interesting event of the week. Come listen to a Columbia squidologist (professor of squids or something) talk about squids to the Secret Science Club in Brooklyn. I love New York.

wednesday (3/22)

• Tech Breakfast Club - My friend Ariel Purnsrian hosts a monthly breakfast for tech people. There will be tons of cereal entrepreneurs 😂😏

• Why Do We Still Burn Books? - Hosted by the New York Library, Oxford professor Emma Smith chats about why we still burn books. Fahrenheit 351 fans, come by.

thursday (3/23)

• Never Alone - Check out MOMA's exhibition Never Alone on video games and interactive design. Bring along Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow if you want a book about video games to get in the right vibe.

friday (3/24)

• Launch House Garage Sale - We're selling all sorts of gadgets, trinkets, and electronics from our Chelsea clubhouse. Shop til you drop. This is DAY 1.

• CodeFair via GirlsWhoCode - Come code at The Altman Building. Open hours from 10-8 Friday, 11-8 Saturday, and 10-5 Sunday. Sam Altman will not be in attendance.

saturday (3/25)

• DEFICON 2023 - Hosted at Fordham University, DeFiCon will feature speakers and time for networking. Maybe it's time to harness your inner Balaji and work in crypto.

• Launch House Garage Sale - We're selling all sorts of gadgets, trinkets, and electronics from our Chelsea clubhouse. Shop til you drop. This is DAY 2.

• Mac & Cheese Festival - Everyone knows New Jersey sucks, but it might be worth a quick train ride over to Hoboken for their annual Mac & Cheese Festival.

sunday (3/26)

• THE FRIENDS EXPERIENCE - How you doin? Relive the sitcom of the century and take pics in Central Perk and sit in Joey and Chandler's comfy chairs.

• Launch House Garage Sale - We're selling all sorts of gadgets, trinkets, and electronics from our Chelsea clubhouse. Shop til you drop. Check out some of the items here. This is DAY 3.

WEATHER

Looks like a good week to hit Central Park and explore! Except Friday and Saturday you'll probably want to just curl up with some hot coco and watch a movie.

WHAT'S COMIN UP.

• NFT NYC - the famous (infamous?) NFT conference is coming back hopefully to usher in a NFT bull market so I can recoup some of my massive L's. Time to party like Apes.

• New York Fintech Week - exactly what it sounds like. Lesson of the week: don't expect creative conference names from finance bros.
