Anna's Trips

My Travels

My travels. What about yours?

Gabriele's travels

Una sera in una Pizzeria dalla pasta colorata...

Per rendere il rientro in patria più soft, stasera io e alcuni amici abbiamo organizzato una cena a base di Startup e Venture Capital.
Apparentemente può sembrare poco appealing, ma credo che tutti si siano divertiti a suon di birra e limoncello.
Avevamo al tavolo giovani e brillanti analisti dei fondi più cool, futuri Fulbright Best, esperti di Social Media Marketing, Dj Digitali, Incubatori d'oltreoceano e le cd ali dei Business Angels.
Lo spirito è forte e la voglia di fare non manca. Aspettiamo con trepidazione l'evento del mese, il Venture Camp, che inizierà domani e terminerà Sabato sera.
E poi, cosa di non poca rilevanza, oggi è stato il mio primo giorno di attività cerebrale non dipendente dalla caffeina...I needed to celebrate!

PS: siccome non sono più a SF mi sembra almeno doveroso lasciare il mio GO GIANTS!

Moments (by Michael)

A few years ago I was lucky enough to see Italy win the 2006 Fifa World Cup. Unfortunately, at that time I was not in Italy. The emotions were strong but it was certainly different to see such victory from afar. On the other hand, the other evening I experienced the Giants victory in SF. Although the team didn't actually win the last game at AT&T Park, the emotions this time were lived differently. Screams of joy, cries of laughter and simple happiness suddenly filled the city and I was fortunate to see them right there next to me. I am truly blessed to have lived and experienced SF's first national win in my city, the place where I was born, my true and only: San Francisco.

On the roof of the world! Let's go Giants! (by Vinny)

Hi guys,

first of all I would like to thanks Gabri for the hospitality in his "house" :)

I think this blog could be a great channel to tell about our stories and maybe to built something all together. YES WE CAN!

After this small introduction I would jump on the main theme of this post...

Just one day ago, after 67 years and for the first time in San Francisco, the Giants won the World Series! The city by the bay had a blast last night and of course we enjoyed the celebration in North Beach. After the long Halloween's weekend the black and orange colours didn't stop to paint the streets of the city. It was amazing to see how many people in the Financial District went to work wearing the Giants jearsey today! Welcome to San Francisco folks! :)

I would close this post with a sentence I found few days ago before the final winning:

Listen up, America. You may think San Francisco is just a bunch of pot-smoking, bike-riding, latte-drinking radicals, but you'd better get your Walmart-shopping, Humvee-driving butts used to it. Your time is over, and the era of the Left Coast Liberal Elite has come! (7x7)

C ya in the next post. Let's go GIANTS!
