1. Bravo: Silicon Valley - The Drinking Game

    Bravo just unleashed a trailer for “Start-Ups: Silicon Valley,” to which there’s only one sane reaction: DRINKING GAME. We’re crowdsourcing the rules; tweet us your suggestions @cnnmoneytech. Here’s a start … 

    Take a sip when:

    • Someone refers to programmers as “rock stars” 
    • Someone carries an iPad in one arm and a floofy little dog in the other
    • Randi Zuckerberg makes an appearance
    • Someone refers to a pitch meeting with VCs as “like, really really important”
    • “Coders” wander out of their natural habitat — cubicles — into Bravo’s natural habitat, nightclubs 
    • Someone orders an Uber cab (via show cast member @kimmytaylor)

    Do a shot when:

    • Someone talks about IPOing a company that does not yet exist
    • A “business development session” is held poolside among bikini-clad strategizers 
    • Someone refers to Sean Parker, Kevin Rose, or anyone else with a decidedly mixed commercial track record as their entrepreneurial “idol” or “a legend” 
    • A startup executive leads a tour of their blinged-out “corporate crib” 

    Swill the whole bottle when:

    • Someone actually writes a line of code

    We may need a viewing party for the Nov. 5 kickoff. C’mon VCs, who wants to sponsor? -Stacy & Laurie
