The cocktail parties and mixers that I saw or was at appear to have been pretty good. Based on the decibel level of the chatter, it was either enjoyable or successful or both. The schmoozin' and cruisin' crowd was in fever pitch -- and I don't think I even got to the good events. Here's a shot of the crowd at the Overture-sponsored event.
Being neither young nor dumb (any more) we took off from all the (FREE) cocktailing going on and went for dinner. Not sure where it was, but it was good. Took a new friend, Michael Engen from Disney Internet, and an old friend Donna-Marie Antoniadis, with us. Had a great time. Picture of my colleague and hero, Peter MacKechnie of Innovapost (l), with Michael (r).
Here's a shot of Christine Hamilton, our steady-beam (l) and my friend Donna-Maria Antoniadis (r) who I bumped into at the crowded mixer and couldn't believe seeing for the first time in a couple years IN SAN FRANCISCO.
Then of course, there were a few of the sights. Like the Trans America building, which, as my tour guide chauffer cabby told me, used to stand up and could be seen by all. Now, poor thing, it's buried in the middle of a city core of high rise buildings that all but dwarf it. Good view from here though -- trolley car electric cables notwithstanding.
Speaking of trolley cars, here's a night-time view of a trolly somewhere in the San Francisco down-town-ish region. Not a great shot, but it was night time.
