It’s not often I email a stranger, but I have to admit, I emailed Gary Vaynerchuk tonight after his New York Jets defeated my New England (very fucking injured) Patriots.

Who the hell is Gary Vaynerchuk? Well, he’s two people really. First, he’s the guy behind Wine Library TV. If you’re into wine and having little, loud men (much like myself) scream at you, you probably already know him and his site.

Second, he’s a social media consultant, or at least that’s what I’d call it. Watch his vids on his site. He’s slightly out of his mind, but always informative and entertaining. He definitely embodies many “east coast” qualities I find lacking in lots of forward-thinking innovators around here. Yes, there are plenty of mad men in Los Angeles, but it’s just not quite the same.

‘Tis all.
