I was lucky enough to get a ride with a friend so I actually made it to the ContentNext Mixer in SF at the Palace Hotel last night. You might ask why I wanted to mingle in a ballroom filled with 500 geeks when I am both extremely short and hate big crowds, and the answer would be: I dig Rafat Ali.
Given this was the first SF event he's done, there was no way I couldn't go (even though no one would have noticed if I'd just stayed home.)
Pix are up here--they're basically people standing around in a crowded ballroom, chatting away.
I saw a number of friends, and some former clients I haven't talk with in waay too long, and left for home knowing the bubble--no matter what anyone says--is clearly still in full swing.

Hi, I went to another mixer at the Merchant's Exchange for the SF Bay Area Interactive Group, but was pleasantly surprised to find your blog this morning about other "happenings" in town.
I'm a student at GGU in marcom, and am just getting into the business. I subscribed to your blog, and find it resourceful!
Thanks, and long live the "new" bubble.
