Your Check, Mr. Brin

Are you a young co-CEO of a burgeoning Internet company on the verge of IPO success? Do you find yourself dreaming of your inevitable financial windfall, yet perhaps short of the $60.24 would make the difference between a fun night on the town in drag and crippling destitution that strips you down to your Speedos? Never fear! The City of Palo Alto has a solution for you, provided your name is Sergey Brin!

It would appear, according to the Palo Alto Weekly, that Sergey Brin is due the whopping sum of $60.24. Well, almost. Apparently the city owes the outstanding amount to someone called “Brin Sergey”, but that’s probably a mistake on the part of someone in the city clerk’s office who hasn’t been paying much attention to the news out of Mountain View.

Perhaps this lends creedence to the Mountain View Voice‘s contention that the City of Mountain View (and its inhabitants) won’t be officially on the map until Google completes its IPO.

So, uh, Sergey – how about some stock as a finder’s fee? 😉
