Nellie Bowles at Re\/code reporting on a San Francisco-based Tech Mixer:<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe don\u2019t use the word \u2018party.\u2019 We\u2019re bringing consciously designed spaces and innovative thinkers together to inspire,\u201d said Vecchio, who is 26 and formerly worked at Apple and J.P. Morgan. \u201cThis is our fifth mixer. People are like, \u2018Andrew, what could be next?\u2019 And it\u2019s like, \u2018Oh. Done.\u2019 We have a mechanical bull. Game-changer. Innovate.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
This whole article is quotable for the self-involved, narcissistic awfulness, but here’s my favourite part:<\/p>\n
\n As the night wore on, I asked Vecchio if there was an after-party.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t call it an after-party. We call it after-hours.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vecchio led the Jessicii \u2014 one of whom decided to be called \u201cJane\u201d to make it easier \u2014 to an inflatable Twister mat at the center of the after-hours room. He set down his Corona Light and leaped onto the bouncy cushion, making a few flips and pointing to a friend before sitting down in the middle of it and checking his phone.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
After reading this article I thought very hard about walking out my front door, throwing my phone into a river and just wandering off into the woods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nellie Bowles at Re\/code reporting on a San Francisco-based Tech Mixer: \u201cWe don\u2019t use the word \u2018party.\u2019 We\u2019re…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"link","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"reckoner_social_message":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2425"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2425"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2425\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2425"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
