Thank You For Coming To TechCrunch 7

Michael Arrington

91 comments »

The TechCrunch August Capital Party last night was a big success (if you define success as the police showing up at a top tier venture fund’s offices at midnight to shut a party down). Not everything went perfectly, but the alcohol and food flowed smoothly and lots of companies were able to demo their stuff. Thank you to everyone who attended, and thank you David for making this happen.

Pictures of the event are still being posted - see the “TechCrunch7″ tag on Flickr, Zooomr and other photo sharing sites.

See TechMeme for discussion about the event.

Next up, New York. See you there.

Update: lots of good links to videos, etc. in the comments.

    Come now, TechCrunch.

    Is this anyway for a Web 2.0 innovator to behave.

    Next Time have real-time streaming, or at the very least make videos for YouTube. ;-)

    Video results for ‘techcrunch 7′
    No Videos found for ‘techcrunch 7′

    Hey SearchH EngineS WeB.

    I’m sure more video will surface. There were lots of people shooting video there too. Scoble was there with his new high def camera.

    It’s not exactly a video experience but if you want to at least hear an mp3 of Mike’s presentation last night we’ve got it attached as a Zooomrtation to this photo of Arrington and Scoble: http://beta.zooomr.com/photos/thomashawk/148163

    Thanks for the great party Mike.

    Hey Mike & Co., thanks for the great time.

    Here’s the url to a photo with a zooomrtation (Audio Note) of your speech to everyone there: http://beta.zooomr.com/photos/thomashawk/148163

    And your comment to security about Nick Douglas getting in: http://beta.zooomr.com/photos/kristopher/147547

    Good times, thanks again!

    August 19th, 2006 at 8:54 pm

    I’m surprised to see quite a few hot women in this party. Next time will come more prepared:)

  7. Robert Scoble

    August 19th, 2006 at 8:58 pm

    Thanks Mike, these things sure are getting big!

    Pete: the problem is in hearing what’s going on. It’s all distributed conversations. I got a few of them on tape but I couldn’t hear the answers, so it was hard to have a real conversation.

    It was more of a “see and be seen” kind of deal. Oh, and a business card swap meet.

    Someone should start a Web service to put Business Cards online. That’d remove the reason to do a lot of networking.

    The police showed up at midnight? I obviously left way too early. At least I escaped with some of my dignity still intact. :) Thanks for the great time!

    It was just like the OK Corral!

    No where. [!]

    Sure Johnny, you ‘found’ it. Suuuuure ya did. I often find things I create.

    Thanks for the party, even if my post about it was, as ‘they’ say, snarky.

    Dude, I missed the streaker. Bummer.

    August 20th, 2006 at 12:26 am

    Actually I’m sure you all had a great party , you need to hold the next one in Nevada Mike, they put up with gambling , brothels and Amazon there without the cops busting things up.

  18. Timothy

    August 20th, 2006 at 12:28 am

    Techcrunch 7 would have been a great place to introduce the evaal.com search engine. But We promise not to miss the next event. We just made search 98% more efficient!

    is it me or are streakers supposed to be naked, not in a swimsuit?

  22. Sarah Meyers

    August 20th, 2006 at 6:45 am

    Who cares about the swimsuit streaker? Did you all know there were many more Tech Crunch crashers at the party? There were cheerleaders and a freaky wig girl crashing the party. I made the video and posted it to my YouTube account. Check this out:

    Hi Sarah, I think the video is great. I spoke to you for a few minutes at the event, although you didn’t know who I was. You seemed to think the techcrunch guy was pretty lame. :-)

    Mike - another great party. Here’s a movie of the evening comprised from 23 different clips from our roving StashCam, ranging from the early check-in to Jeremy Wright with b5media to Sydney with Podango. Be sure to check out some wicked yo-yo tricks and the last clip with host David Hornik of August Capital.

    August 21st, 2006 at 1:38 am

    Hi Michael, If the “techcrunch guy” you are referring to is you then I didn’t think you were lame at all! I actually thought you were the coolest guy there. You know why? Because you were the only one who actually talked to me before I got kicked out. I had a great time that night and I hope to meet you again.

    Thanks for checking out my blog! If you want to check out my other blogs go to http://www.storytoday.tv/impulse :)
