Dave doesn’t screw around - we charged right up, braving steep inclines and rocks and ice. I would have rather not shared who won 3 out of the 5 games, but I guess it’s common knowledge: When I showed up to a Mobius VC company board meeting today, Brad noted, "I hear you lost in ping-pong." I mumbled something incoherent, the guilt like toothpaste out of a tube - once it’s out, it’s out - and Brad repeated, "I hear you lost in ping-pong." I could muster only the most embarrassing of smiles, and pulled out my BlackBerry and typed a quick note: "Kick David Cohen’s ass."Īs if an exhausting but nonetheless exhilarating morning of ping-pong wasn’t enough, at noontime Dave Jilk and I hiked Mt. Overdramatization aside, we played five very competitive matches, sweat streaming down my face by the fourth game.
We both went into the bathroom and produced urine samples, the standard practice in competitive table tennis.
I was dressed in baggy shorts and a tight-fitting t-shirt (all my t-shirts seem too tight - guess I’m wearing hand-me-downs from my brothers). This is one of those books that as soon as I finished I thought, this would make the cutest high school movie. Tuesday morning David showed up at my condo with a water bottle, sports pants, and a tennis tournament t-shirt. The winner of prom queen at her school doesnt only get a crown, she gets a scholarship as well, and Liz de You Should See Me in a Crown was such a delightful and fun read. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen," Brad could have responded (he didn’t), the immortal words from Nicholas Cage in The Rock. "I’ll do my best, sir," I said to The Man. Best quote: ‘Well fuck you, for sure, like totally’ Quintessential teen moment: When prom king and queen are announced and the curtain pulls back to reveal punk Randy kicking preppie Tommy. At Monday evening’s 24 gathering, as the ping-pong smack talk between local angel investor David Cohen and me began, Brad Feld took me aside, looked me firm in the eye and said, "I want you to beat him, you understand?"
