#CoolAsEver wrap up, follow up.
Well, Saturday was it. A hell of a day, great turn out, lots of fun… booze, betting, networking, and friends. From organizing the web design meetups, to helping organize this massive event, I gotta say – holy crap stressful! But overall well worth the effort. When Jennifer van Grove came to Phelan and I about this event, I didn’t really know how we were going to pull it off, what the draw was going to be, how it was going to be received… hell, there were more unknowns that I could shake a stick at.
Now? I see, the reception of the event from the community was fantastic, we achieved our goal of providing a kick ass time to people we know and people we don’t. It was great, and damn it, I think there’s time for more of this kind of thing on my plate. In fact, I hope more opportunities come where I’m able to piece together events like this again and give good-times to all those seeking one.
What I would like to see in the future is more LA and Orange County people make the perilous journey south to mingle with some really great, and influential business people of San Diego. Bridging the gap between the three counties would definitely be a nice stake to hold in the California tech-scene, in my eyes. I think with everyone SoCal on the same ship, we’d be able to give NorCal a run for their money, and have a hell of a lot more fun (in better weather) doing it. That’s just me though…
So there you have it. A great event. I don’t have any photos or video from it, sorry – I was busy running around the event for the first half of it, putting people and things into places. The other half… Well, it was a well deserved break from the organizers’ seat, and into a relaxed, chillin state of haze driven by tequila. On that note, ‘til next time, kids.
