I #blamedrewscancer for it taking me five days to finish this blog!

August 5, 2009 – Dragon Bar, 473 Broadway Street, San Francisco, CA – Irina Slutsky and Melissa Jun Rowley of Rowley’s Word mobilized the San Francisco tech community in support of Drew Olanoff and the Lance Armstrong Livestrong Foundation to raise money for cancer research. The night included DJ’s, Raffles, Blue Angel Vodka and performances by Doc Pop and All About George!

Drew himself was not able to attend in person, but was there in spirit and was also livestreaming!

It was a pleasure to meet Melissa Jun Rowley, Shina Sebring, and Erica Mulkey. And always special seeing my friends Irina Slutsky, Sukhjit Ghag, Liza Sperling, Krystyl Baldwin, Tia Marie McGuire, David King, Adrian Chan, Scott “Laughing Squid” Beale, Doc Pop, Ken Yeung, Roderick Chow, Kristie Wells and Chris Heuer.

Highlights of my night included meeting Catherine Grison IRL (in real life)! Also I won rock climbing lessons in the raffle! Doc Pop did GeekRap about Skype and LOL Cats and All About George followed with and ode to Firefox’s About: Robots! I ended the night boogying to “I wanna put on my my my boogie shoes and boogie with you” with Liza Sperling! Too FUN!
