Two Parties In Two Weeks - Seattle and London

We’ve had two TechCrunch parties in the last two weeks. Last week a bunch of us got together for a few pints in London and last night we had a packed house at Conworks in Seattle.

It’s wonderful to meet new people, or people I know online but not in person. Pictures from the London event are here, and last night’s Seattle pictures are here. If you want to add your own pictures from the events, add “TechCrunchLondon” and “TechCrunchSeattle” as flickr tags.

If you wrote about either event, please ping me and I’ll add a link to this post. There are a bunch up already for last night’s event. The Redfin blog post is here. John Cook from the Seattle Post Intelligence wrote about a lot of the startups that attended. Listen to Stuart Maxwell and Ali Daniali’s podcasts here and here, and check out what Jim Granger, David Brunelle, Mike Fridgen and Ryan Stewart thought about the event as well. More here, here, here, here, here and here.

So thank you to the 150 or so people who came to TechCrunch London and the 300 or so who attended last night in Seattle. And thanks as well to the sponsors who paid for everything - GNR covered the London event and Redfin, Farecast and Triphub paid for the Seattle event.

I’ll be back in London in early July (hopefully we can do another event) and Seattle later this month for Gnomedex 6 (Gnomedex 5 was the best conference I’ve been to in years).

By the way, I had a chance to follow up with John Cook (linked above) for a Q&A session. He wrote about the discussion on the the Seattle PI site, here.

    The Seattle party was a blast! Besides being about 300 degrees inside the venue, I’ve got nothing but wonderful things to say. I met some really interesting, amazingly smart people. Most of all, thank you to the sponsors for providing the free beer and pizza. I haven’t pumped a keg since college (I think.)

    Geeks + Beer + Pizza = A great time

    Sounds great, Mike. Reminds me of some of the fun times in The Emerald City when I ran marketing for Expedia.

    Had a good time, and a big thanks to the sponsors for the free event, beer and pizza.

    One piece of advice for the next sponsors: Don’t leave Windows Messenger running on your demo machine.

    Can you offer advice for planning and executing a website-originated physical party? I would like to do one for a locally-focused website http://www.idahofallz.com. Since it’s focused on a geographic area (the city of Idaho Falls), attendees won’t have to travel far.

    However, we have little to no budget. What kind of things do you do? How to make it fun, and earn some press for unique events?

    Looks like fun, where is the next party?
