"So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don’t, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it, if it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it."

Boy, was I bummed when I found out that Verizon had held a launch event for Motorola’s new Droid phone and I didn’t get an invite. Lucky for me and other members of New York City’s social-media scene (personally, I like to think of us as digital visionaries), Cake Group had us covered, inviting us to a cocktail reception at Morimoto in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District where we could see firsthand the new Cliq and Droid phones.
Not only was there a “gadget room” for us to check both out (I have to say that yes, the Droid is much faster on Verizon’s 3G network than the Apple iPhone 3G is on AT&T’s and yes, the Web browsing experience is noticeably better), but we got to sample dishes from Morimoto’s kitchen (catching glimpses of Mashahuru Morimoto himself as they came out), have drinks, and listen to music spun by two DJs hired for the event. Best of all? Everybody who attended is getting a Cliq or Droid courtesy of Motorola?
So, who did I see at this party? Well, there was blogger Sarah Merion, Pepsi We Inspire’s Nichelle Stephens, Klickable.tv’s Jon Lazar, HS Dominion’s Damien Basile, event planner Christina Coster, Cake Group’s Michelle Shildkret and Rosie Siman, MediaPost’s Kelly Samardak, music industry professional David Factor, MoMA’s Julia Kaganskiy, Revision3 host Walt Ribeiro, Mashable’s Sharon Feder and Adam Hirsch, and Random Night Out’s Nick McGlynn. If I missed you, you can always let me know here and I’ll update this post.

Inspired by the increased influence of socially conscious programs and events comes the first SocialChangeCamp, an all-day BarCamp style event scheduled for Saturday, September 26, 2009 at NYU’s Woolworth Building campus at 15 Barclay Street near Broadway.
Modeled after user-generated conferences like BarCamp, SocialChangeCamp NYC will act as a resource for forward-thinking public interest organizations seeking new ways to leverage technology.
Through a series of sessions and discussions, NYC’s best and brightest social media and technology professionals will show non-profits, charities, museums, schools, corporate social responsibility teams, NGOs and other socially conscious organizations how to reach out to their communities in inspired and meaningful ways. The day’s agenda includes sessions addressing volunteer recruitment, online community building, grassroots organizing, donor cultivation and fundraising and facilitating effective advocacy.
At the event, attendees will be encouraged to be presenters and there’s no set schedule of speakers, allowing for maximum flexibility in deciding topics and conversations that will be presented.
SocialChangeCamp is a partnership between Social Media for Social Change (SM4SC), Grassroots.org and the Grassroots Web Meetup. The event is made possible by the generous donation of space by New York University’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies, and by donations from Bite Communications, DonorsChoose.org, HUGE and PolyPrint Design.
Tickets are available online at http://socialchangecamp.eventbrite.com and are just $10. Student tickets are available for $7 with valid, current ID. A limited number of tickets are available free to the NYU community by emailing scps.marketing.pr@nyu.edu.

When Pepsi attacks… This case jumped right out of my arms and into the glass coffee table on our deck. FAIL
