B-town and www.Ticketstumbler.com

So I am sitting here in Boston at my friends apartment and thinking about how much I don't want to go back to work on Monday let alone everyday for the next 40 years of my life. Work should be fun, interesting and something you would do in your spare time. I don't know about you, but I don't want to do taxes in my spare time (so don't ask me.) Part of the reason I am here is to visit a friend who moved here a couple of months ago to start an internet startup company called www.Ticketstumbler.com which is a secondary sports ticket finder. Basically its like kayak.com or sidestep only for the sports ticket world. They basically search all of the ticket sites (think stubhub, ticketcity etc) and pool them all into one nice summary of all your available options. They make money from the ticket sites themselves for any sale that is made through their site. Basically the ticket companies are willing to share the wealth for the increase in ticket traffic. If you ask me the idea is absolutely genius and inspiring. It makes me realize that the founders of these internet startups really are just regular people who took a chance. This gives me hope that I too can find an idea, find the right people and bring it profitability. It is a big chore, but one well worth it to do what it is that you love to do and want to do everyday. So while I am going to go see Fenway park, please check out www.ticketstumbler.com and any tickets you might buy on stubhub will contribute to a good cause (that being my friends wellbeing). Also, tell anyone and everyone to use it word of mouth is the best form of advertising.
