TechCrunch Party At August Capital

Awesome, I’m in.

Sounds like fun!

I’m in! But not 100% sure about being able to come till there. I’ll try though.

Goldarn! I would love to attend, but will be back in wintry Sydney by then. We’ve recently held a Future of Media Summit simultaneously in Sydney/San Francisco — how about a TCParty in multiple locations. Happy to facilitate.

Will be in Palo Alto on Sunday for two weeks — would be great to synch.

Cool, I’m #51! Looks like there was a bit of a Wiki collision, the person right after me got their link caught in my 4:00 AM botched wiki code, and now there is such a rush for the wiki that I can’t get back in and fix it (nor I imagine can they), Eh, I made it, they made it, all is good

Boy, for being all Web 2.0 and whatnot, there’s got to be a better way to handle singup than sending 500+ people off to try to edit a wiki page at the same time… sheesh…

Hey Mike,

Great idea WRT to the open invitation, but the wiki signup isn’t working so well. I reg’ed and then *watched* as my name (and four others) was edited off the bottom of the list. I suspect you will have many people that get bumped this way; some will will get pretty upset.

I was #121… and then not. Would enjoy seeing you again (beers at the BBC in Melo was too long ago…)

John

EDIT Back at #121 after a few edits… go figure.

Mike — as always, this will be a blast. I bet your wiki servers are hotter than the weather outside right now… Thanks for hosting, David
Cheers, Joe

The trick to the wiki is to have your entry typed up ahead of time… then once you get a lock on the page drop in your entry and save ASAP. Senor wiki could definitely use some improvements in this area.

hmmm, Ross Levinsohn is number 3 on the list. Add that in with a bolded statement of a very big announcement being made. Either Ross is a huge fan of Tech Crunch party free beers, or Fox has acquired another startup. Let the rumors begin… I hear it might be theWeblogWire.com. jk

I am unable for more then 2 H O U R S to sign up….

I’m running a poll on how fast this will sell out.  My bet: 10am (noon the latest).

Wiki Registration is not working. Have been waiting for about 2 hours. Does posting on the comments count as RSVP.

It’s no surprise that the WIKI is continously locked. I do see a nice side black market forming.. perhaps a temporal eBay… to the person who has it locked down for 15 min. will sign up the highest 5 bidders. While logistics for a party with readership of this size is well *painful*, I am still glad that Mike opens it up to allow the masses to have a chance at getting in an A-List geek party =)

I’m running a poll on how fast you will sell out. My bet: 7:23am.

Hi Brian,

Wanna join my poll? See comment# 14 above

Does it have to be done through a wiki? There has got to be a better way.

I’m not able to get past the edit lock either. If anyone else makes it in, would you mind adding my name after yours? Thanks.

ditto on the comments that wiki is in constant lock-up mode. I like the suggestion that a comment may serve as an RSVP proxy.

F5 x 2 hours = 0

good luck on your party…

after a 2 hour constant refresh trying to get access.. i’ve got work to do!!

wonder what the click/refresh to actual access ratio is!!!

work on your queuing theory guys!!!!!

given your penchant for new tech companies.. what’s with the forcing via a single signup strategy…

although, for some enterprising person, you could offer to add additional people for a fee once you get in..

Yes, I’m going to give up as well. Gave some thought to writing a bot, but slamming the wiki doesn’t seem to be the right approach to an invite.

Hi. I can’t sign up on the Wiki so I hope you’ll take an RSVP here in the comments. Thanks for hosting the party.

Ya… we’ve got a distributed effort amoung a 1/2 dozen web 2.0 companies. Anyone of us gets in and we all go in.

Mike, do you LOVE the mayhem you’re causing here? Isn’t there a Web 2.0 company that could offer a better solution than a crazy lock? It’s an interesting way to give everyone a shot though I suppose.

Back to the CMD-R for me.

Hey Mike, Count Stormhoek in as the second sponsor and we’ll see if Hugh can do a special edition print for the event.

Jason Korman

Going to be out of town, but enjoy!

here’s an idea - if it takes you more than 5 minutes to sign up once you get the lock on the page, you are deemed unworthy and no party for you.

I was able to add myself to the wiki & I am sure I saw my name at ~198 number, but then I got a database error. Now I am not in the list anymore

More than F5s or CTRL-R for me. I am done for now. Will check back in the evening. If anybody gets in and would like to add my name “Pradeep Sethi”, that’d be great!

Cheers,

Cheers,

Anyone who sends a good tip to tips(at)valleywag(dot)com gets added under me when I sign up for the party.

I have not been able to sign up on the Wiki as well… hope you’ll accept an RSVP from here. Thanks.

Damn,i’m in Italy,too far…! There will be a live from the party ?

Yeah, this whole write-lock thing is frustrating. Makes you start to appreciate database-backed applications. Would like to attend, though.

No luck here either. If a comment post gets me in, count me in

uhhhh…..I think I just broke my left button on my mouse pressing edit for the last two hours….

Michael that will be $2 please…(its’s some cheap BenQ mouse)

Hopefully my touchpad works and I get to register….:)

uhhhh…..I think I just broke my left button on my mouse pressing edit for the last two hours without stopping….

Michael shame on you! That will be $2 please to replace it…(its’s some cheap BenQ mouse)

Hopefully my touchpad works and I get to register….:)

Man, this is worse than being a walmart greeter LOL

Hopefully adding a last name might help me get that RSVP.

Well, I added my name about 5 minutes ago (I was #215) - mind it took me like 10 minutes to get an unlokced page - and I check now and someone deleted my name afterwards. I would like to know who was kind enough to do that.

Looking forward to it.

Please add my name to the list.

Can’t wait to attend. Count me in.

RSVP. Thanks.

Glad I checked here after the wiki was locked down! Consider this my RSVP.

RSVP. Count me in please. Thanks

mb, after I got the edit page, I wrote my info, hit “Save” then it took the page about 3 minutes to save it, so just because someone locks the page for 3+ minutes doesn’t mean he/she took that time to edit it.

Then again, after seeing my name there (it was, there was no DB error or anything), as I mentioned in my last comment, the next (or next-next or whatever) person who edited the page was “kind” enough to delete my entry. I really don’t get it why someone would do something like that.

Please add myself and Dom Bellizzi from Wikispaces to the list. Thanks.

John Dismore

RBA, I got the same issue as you did.

My name was #178. But someone just deleted my name afterwards. It happened twice on me.

Here is the revision that has my name on it.

So yeah, add me to the list, Michael.

Can you enforce a dress code at these things? ‘Cause, damn…

If someone with access to TechCrunch could help me out I would certainly appreciate it. I had a problem saving my reservation to the Wiki and neither of the two choices it gave me “current” and “Your version” contained my name that I had typed into the reservation text box. It occurred at 10:21 AM in Line 267, and the “current version” showed Manish Punjabi as the last reservation on the list. I have a screen shot if that helps. I’m traveling from Boston and it be great if someone could lend me hand. Thanks!

Bruce Franco

See you there.

add me to the list?

I can understand why the comments weren’t used in the first place - it just isn’t the best tool for the job and it adds manual work afterwards, but yes, the wiki has proven to also be a failure: locks, people removing other atendees (checking the history, it seems that whomever added Durai Balusamy and Manish Punjabi also took the liberty of removing my name - that or the wiki software went bananas, you never know)… For more “modest” events it might work, but not for something like this I guess.

Perhaps the old web 1.0 way of providing a form, letting people add their names, and when the 500 limit is reached call it a day might still work best.

Anyway, in case it wasn’t clear, yes please count me in: Rogelio Andreo
Thanks!

I’m not sure if this RSVP-via-comments is for real, but I’ll give it a shot. The Rubyred founders will be attending:
Jonathan Grubb
Thor Muller
Amy Muller

We used Wufoo for the Valleyschwag party and, except for some access problems on the day of their launch, it worked very well.

RSVP + 1, thanks!

Looks like someone accidentally locked the Wiki, so I’m gonna show up with Gabe or JEF or I dunno.

But, verbally commited anyway on Wednesday. Take this as the formal commitment.

also please add
Jed Stremel
Tim Kendall
Dustin Moskovitz
Chris Hughes
Mark Zuckerberg

RSVP + 1. Thanks
