Ready To Party?

41 comments »

The TechCrunch August Capital party is tonight, Friday, at August Capital in Menlo Park (map). The fun starts at 6 pm. Additional details are on the wiki.

There will be plenty to eat and drink, lots of companies will be demo’ing, and as always Pandora is piping in the music. Wine has been donated from Stormhoek and Silicon Valley Bank. We have a personally signed, limited edition lithograph of a cartoon created by Hugh Macleod for every attendee (thanks Hugh!).

Lots of press will be there, including a CBS news crew led by Sue Kwon and many podcasters, videocasters and bloggers. Scott Beale is our “official” photographer.

We have a number of announcements by startups throughout the night, and a bunch of surprises. And this is also your chance to meet most of the Crunch Network team in person. John Biggs (CrunchGear), Marshall Kirkpatrick (TechCrunch), Oliver Starr (MobileCrunch) and Nick Gonzalez (analyst) will be there to shake hands and meet companies. Hopefully we’ll remember to take a group picture before Marshall gets so loopy he falls asleep under a demo table. :-)

Things to know:

  • Details on the Party are on the Socialtext wiki
  • The attendee list is completely shut down. If you would like to attend and you are not on the wiki, the only way is to buy the two tickets being auctioned on eBay. Details of the auction are here - proceeds go to charity.
  • Ok, there is one other way to get in…guess the ending ebay auction price above and get the very last ticket (thanks Zoli and Zoho).
  • This party is not at my house this time, it is at a respectable venture firm’s offices. Please keep your clothes on.
  • Please use the “techcrunch7″ tag on flickr and other photo sharing sites.

I’d like to thank the party sponsors once again - without them and August Capital this party would not be happening.

Party Sponsors:

  • Sphere It

    Update on the very last ticket: the poll where someone may win the one and only free ticket left closes at 10am today.

    (We have to close it several hours before the bid ends, since eBay bids tipycally move a lot in the last hours)

    If you could just advertise your sponsors more. The quality of your site is starting to go down hill with the massive in the face ads. First you have gaint ads on the right side and then almost every day there is a posting about sponsors.

    Looking forward to a good time - Quick question, I am on the list and I thought I had +1 for my colleague though the list does not indicate that

    In order to avoid confusion at the door, can my co-worker still attend with me?

    Thanks!

    What’s the parking situation there? Is the place too far from Safeway on San Hill Rd?
