Thanks to Eric Olson and Frank Gruber, as well as DEMO, Lijit and Threadless for throwing TECH Cocktail last night here in Boulder. I think there were about 200 people who came out from the local tech community and SocialThing, Filtrbox, Survey Gizmo, and Newsgator were there showing off their (soft) wares. Go and check out the official recap post on the TECH Cocktail site, and while you're there you can read about how to attend the DEMO conference and get $800 off. Warning: That's still like $2,000 to go, buddy. I've been a long time reader of Frank's blog Somewhat Frank, and it was nice to finally meet him in person. This morning (not too early, mind you) he and Eric showed up at TechStars and noticed that we had a poster on one of our walls featuring a post from his blog. He said that made his whole day. Frank and Eric said TECH Cocktail will be back. Let's hope so - thanks again guys. Lots more great pics of the event are here.
