We started the ball rolling with a big shared startup holiday party for over 100 startups last year at STIRR: http://blog.stirr.net/2007/01/08/winter-wonderland-2006-wrapup/ and I'd love to see a big end of year event celebration of small startups become more of an institution (big companies shouldn't have all the fun during the Holidays). Looking forward to what y'all have in store and we're happy to lend a hand. Really nice to see all of the blog networks getting together to give back to the startups.

Excellent idea. I have a few questions about particulars. If I win, will the Crunchies fly me to San Francisco by private jet? I do not travel on commercial flights, and, furthermore, I do not go anywhere without my 7 cats. Consequently the jet should be outfitted with white faux-leather sofas, which my kittehs love to play with. Oh, and be sure to include a qualified masseuse in the cabin crew, as well as a sushi chef from the Ginza district of Tokyo. Thank you. Look forward to meeting you all. This sounds great!

It's all about the business of events. The true financial success story of web 2.0 is the amount of wealth created from hosting events - they're making bank. $200 for this, $3995 for that, etc. As for the attendees - they're like school children, "If I don't have this lunchbox 'cause everybody else does, I must be out of it." So like lemmings they go to this and that hoping to be "in". Then there's the speakers - you see the same ones. How the hell do they have the time to run businesses? That's another scary indicator of this season - but another time. Anyway my 2 cents - tired of all the high-priced events in order to enrich the bloggers. (Svase and webguild - definitely exceptions. Good events, very lean pricing) When will people get it. It’s all about the business of events.

A day after you deliver the low blow of publishing private emails and trying to stir up a hornets nest for a blog network you talk about community? I guess you decide which way the wind blows as it suits you. Today friends, tomorrow who knows. The comment yesterday about ethics was dead on. You really do need a serious refresher course...or did they teach that in law school? Michael, what incredible nerve you have!
