STIRR Winter Wonderland

STIRR Winter Wonderland

the networking org that i'm a part of just did a holiday party for startups. remember that party that i mentioned a while back while looking for venues in sf for 150 people? well, it exploded to 470 people. big thanks to gabriel venture partners and the many other sponsors. the support we had from the sponsors allowed us to knock down the $120 per head cost to $20 bux for each attendee. wow! it was definitely hectic planning for the huge party. the other STIRR team members who do it full time put in many many hours of sleepless nights. In the end, it was an awesome venue - Exploratorium! really yummy food - i had three pieces of the beef. mmmm....cooked so it was med rare, juicy, tender and still pink inside. I believe it was the best i've had for beef that was made in mass quantities. (aside from the tri tip at Rosenblum...this was a tie). There were attendees from over 110 different companies, people seemed to love all the prizes available and had fun with the games we planned. however the card game was crazy. people had to match playing cards (king of hearts, 5 of diamonds, etc) to earn prizes. we thought everyone would be really orderly, but instead the whole crowd went crazy with getting to the prizes. lesson learned...don't do that again! all in all, it seemed people had a good time playing with all the displays at the exploratorium, mingling with other people, enjoyed the live band, and ate good food. it was short - 7 to 11. but hopefully people will be talking about this event for quite some time.
