Tech Jam Party: What a Blast

I'm in my hotel recovering from last night's Third Annual Tech Charity Jam Party at the Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco -- kind of an unofficial opener to the Web 2.0 conference. Sponsors were Portfolio.com, law firm White & Case, and music collaboration site Kompoz.

On stage, we kicked thing off with me fronting a killer band led by White & Case managing partner Bill Coats on bass, with John Given from Digidesign on guitar and Andy Stack on drums. As the night wore on, musicians hopped up on stage and joined in, including Don Clark of The Wall Street Journal, tech PR maven Cathy Brooks, and Music Gremlin CEO Robert Khedouri, who proved he could sing a wicked Bono. Probably 100-plus people came -- CEOs, entrepreneurs, VCs, tech journalists, PR folks.

Yes, videos were taken. I don't have them yet. When I do, I'll post.
