This is a guest post from Gary Sharma (aka “The Guy with the Red Tie”), founder and CEO of GarysGuide and proud owner of a whole bunch of black suits, white shirts and, at last count, over 40 red ties. You can reach him at gary [at] garysguide.com.
This week is all about the weeks … and a day! First off we have Consumer Electronics (CE) Week with Mobile Apps Showdown, Engadget+gdgt Live, Mobile Happy Hour at WeWork and more. Then there is Energy Week organized by ESF (part of the NYC ACRE incubator, an anchor of NY’s energy startup community). Don’t miss the Rooftop Party at 230 Fifth! Next up is Telecom Week, followed by Wear New York Week (celebrating New York fashion & design). And last but not least is Social Media Day, the biggest celebration ever with Mashable, VICE and Milk, with music, dancing and unlimited libations!
This Thursday, I’m co-hosting the ALOHA to Summer! Fashion+Tech mixer, with my friend Liza Kindred (3rd Wave), Magnet Media & Trinet. Unlimited cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, photobooth & a live DJ! And I’m giving away 20 free passes.
More events this week: On Wednesday is Lemonade Heroes Rooftop Portrait Party (with celeb photographer Helene DeLillo). Also on Wednesday is Startup Grind (with GroupMe cofounders Jared Hecht and Steve Martocci – I’m giving away three free passes). And on Thursday is Alley Girls – Voices Forum (with GirlsWhoCode’s Reshma Saujani and DoSomething.org’s Aria Finger – I’m giving away five free passes).
Hardwired NYC is a new event by my buddy Matt Turck (FirstMark Capital). It’s all about Internet of Things, the Industrial Internet and 3D printing. Nice!

My buddy Dick Talens (cofounder, Fitocracy) has put together an awesome 16-week fitness regimen for startup peeps. It’s called … you guessed it! … Minimum Viable Fitness.
A bunch of deadlines … CROWDFUNDxNYC Challenge today, Matchpoint East tomorrow and Ernst & Young’s Great Women Entrepreneurs on Friday.
And applications for Startup Chile are due this Thursday. So if you wanna get your hands on that $40,000 + 6 months in Chile, you’d best get on it pronto!
