Perhaps that statement isn’t quite so true, but with all the activities during TechCrunch50, you wouldn’t really be able to tell the difference.
I have to admit I really need to start bringing my Canon Powershot (and beg for a Nikon SDR for Christmas – I’ve been really goood this year!). The one above is taken via my iPhone early on during the Seesmic Anniversary Party (Happy Anniversary!!!) before it got too dark and crowded.

The Itinerary:
9/8 TC50 Day 1: completely oblivious that it actually started today. Opted out of going to MySpace party, which I heard was a blast.
9/9 TC50 Day 2: drinks @ the Chi.mp/Mars Bar hang out by the conference center. Totally chill and a nice way to ease into the craze. Didn’t make it to Temple cuz, let’s admit it, I’m a granma and it’s a school night.
9/10 TC50 Day 3: get up at the crack ass and haul over to the Rubicon Project/Powerset Rehab party. Mimosas and Bloody Mary’s at 8 a.m.? Can you say “hollerrrr?”

I also picked up a nice ‘swag bag’ filled with Skyy vodka, Gatorade, dissolvable Tums (eww?), breakfast bars, t-shirts and a “I’ve completed the hangover course @ TCRehab” certificate. My favorites are the RP and Powerset t-shirts. Gotta love that soft cottoned American Apparel.

Jump to evening. Seesmic party at 330Ritch. (Seriously, I need to start wearing make-up. So many random guys have flirted with me over the last few days. Apparently, 5 mins of powder makes me a whole new person.) Skip over to the bar, grab some salmon tartar and a dirty Grey Goose martini. The food, except patte (ick), was delicious as was the company.
9/11Post TC50: McGriddles.

All in all, a fun few days. Met some cool dudes et dudettes. Learned that I need to 1) stop ducking away from cameras and 2) bring one.
