Everything is more intense in NYC, including the geek or nerd "party" scene (meet ups, tweet ups, "ignite" events, etc.). More people = more capital, in terms of creative energy and innovation. (And perhaps headaches... but that's another story...!)

Of course I'd love to figure out how to sustain a mini-version of this right here (Victoria). Vancouver works very hard at it -- but even in Vancouver (I'm told), it's the same people reappearing at the different events (i.e., nowhere near the critical mass of larger US metros). Part of the problem is enticing people to come out -- it's so easy to stay home, after all...
