Ready To Party?
by Michael Arrington on August 18, 2006

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.

:-) Btw, good job making this all happen, Jeanne and Mike - this party is going to rock.

Best of luck at the party…It sounds amazing…
Wont be there but maybe some day…Have fun…

 

Looking forward to another great event Mike, see you there.

 

Hey! Wish I can be there! Can I do in Europe next time? I know who could be good sponsor VCs :)

 

Good luck with the party tonight.

Have fun!

 

nerd party is where it’s happeninggggggg

 

This looks like such a good idea. I look forward to a London, UK version?

 

Sorry I can’t be there! Pls save a lithograph for me.

Dad

 

AND a bottle of that great Stormhoek wine ;)

 

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.

 

Very well put together guys. Look for me in the rental car fighting Fri afternoon traffic to try to get down there from the city. Party on!

 

I now can’t make it, Michael — please feel free to use my “ticket” however you like. Be safe on the road, everyone!

 

Looking forward to meeting new and old friends tonight, and spreading the word about Digital Entertainment Business and Finance. Look for me tonight orcontact me via the blog…/Barry

 
 

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?

 

Wish I was there - but have fun anyways. I have other commitments and so i can’t make it this time.

I can’t make it this evening, please take me off the list. Still looking forward to scouring the internet tomorrow for the famed $200 streaker photo though.

 

Hey Mike, why not cash in on Valleywag streaker challenge , do simultaeneous group streak , pose with everyone and raise 700 x $300 for charity:)

Have a great time tonight.

 

This is going to be on tv? sheesh.

 

It’s things like this that make me wish I lived on the west coast. Have a great time everyone! Be sure to post pics on Flickr so other sites can cover the madness! =)

 

The team from BettyMills.com will be there in full regalia.

See u all tonite.

Great! I’ve heard that Laughing Squids take great photos!

 

Can’t wait. Last one (at the TechCrunch House) was a blast. Hope to see Laguna, too. :-)

 

The winner of the very last free ticket is David Gobaud from Stanford, who guessed $537, and the winning eBay bid was $501. Congrat’s and see you there! :-)

 
 

Great party! Thanks, guys. Whatever happened to those lithographs?

 

Are we gonna get an update on the party?

 

I can say for sure, there was a streaker, however no completely in birthday suit thank goodness.
