I learned a good many things in NYC and not just within the confines of the conference.
In fact, while walking to the Javits center I learned:
Equivalents in Essence... of Douche.
In case you aren’t familiar with Charlie Sheen’s IMDB, he’s in a little movie called Wall Street in which he is a stockbroker.
In case you also hate contrived bands, then you know that is the lead dude from Kings of Leon.
What I am telling you is NYC Stockbrokers = LA Musicians.
Now, I realize that whats-his-face is from the south or something and Charlie Sheen isn’t a stockbroker but the point is that the women on the streets of NYC talk about stockbrokers similarly to how I used to talk about LA’s musicians.
Both professions lend themselves to persons that are incredibly focused and inevitably self-centered. You will never come before a man’s music or his market. Whether it’s their art or their pay check, you aren’t a guitar or a dividend. Sorry. Musicians and Stockbrokers are also both very stylish. Whether it be suits or an impressive collective of eclectic vintage pieces, they usually have a relatively attractive wardrobe. Obviously this depends on their income, which is also a pull of them both although a Stockbroker’s bank account usually evokes a sense of security whereas a Musician’s usually incites sympathy. Either way, you are attracted. Granted, Musicians are usually better looking but Stockbrokers ten times out of ten smell better than Musicians so I mean, you’ve still got some give and takes.
That’s why you just give it all up & find yourself a nice graphic designer to go to geek expos with you.
Oh, excuse me “digital artist” which apparently means a pretentious ass with an Adobe Suite.
