Silicon Valley geek dinner tomorrow night

by on December 29, 2005

Shel Israel says he never comes to my dinners cause he doesn’t think he’s a geek. Let’s see, he helped launch companies from Creative Labs to Riya and he’s not a geek? Yeah, right. Anyway, here’s a dirty little secret. Our dinners are always open to everyone. Even PR people! :-)

While I was in Europe I learned that people around the world are jealous of Silicon Valley and Seattle cause we have so many geeks in those two places. Hey, I’m jealous of Europe. You have Anina the geek model! And decent beer!

But, please feel free to tell us about your geek meetups here too!

Anyway, here’s the details (Maryam and Patrick are coming too, so the whole family is welcome). Meet at Palo Alto’s Cheesecake Factory (on University Ave. in downtown Palo Alto) at 6 p.m. Bring cash so you can pay for your part. Feel free to show off your geek toys that you got for Christmas!

  • "Bring cash so you can pay for your part."
    So, even in Palo Alto you can go Dutch:-)
    Hope they serve Dutch beer as well!

  • Sweet. I might be able to make it :-)

  • Jacob Levy
    I'll be there (I hope I'm geeky enough). I'd like to meet Anina sometime tho :):)
  • I'm sorry to miss it, but my wife had minor surgery today. Have a pint for me.
  • Hey Robert, you've been away too long and too often - ain't it about time we had a geek dinner in Redmond? ;-)
  • Steve: I'm having a book launch party in January in Medina. Does that count?
  • Oh, and Search Champs is in town January 24 or so. How about doing something then at Crossroads?
  • I'm all for geek gatherings.

    *cough*SuperHappyDevHouse*cough*

    I'll be there. :P
  • Have fun! I'll be enjoying latkes with my cohousing neighbors at common dinner.. it's the (voluntary) simple life for me! (click my name for details, with a silly article that makes it sound like this is something new/revolutionary.
  • hmmm... tania's off to a conference, so it depends on how quick my babies get to bed...
  • Miles Archer
    Palo Alto isn't particularly easy to get to from the east bay. I'll pass, especially since it's supposed to flood this evening.
  • Robert - Yup - the book launch party would be fun - looking forward to it. btw, Amazon tells me my copy of the book has been delayed until Feb 6th...
  • 2 little girls, one big girl and a past has-been in a pear tree.
  • Dan
    Will try to make it and meet the blogging geeks. /DJ
  • Robert, Shel told me to leave the following comment from this blog:

    Shel:
    "To include them and me more, all you have to do is call the events "Blogger Dinners," not "Geek Dinners." I suggest that if you agree with me, you should post comments wherever you please on Scoble's Blog . However, if yo choose to actually write about this burning issue, please link to me, not him."

    Now I didn't post them 'wherever i please" but I did post it here.

    I'm casting my vote for a dinner to be called a blog dinner. I'm not suggesting the current 'geek dinner' by renamed, but perhaps a second dinner be created for a larger businesss (and personal) audience.

    Both could have entirely different audiences, as well as conversations --both would be stimulating and interesting.

    When's the next Geek dinner? I'll be in the bay area for a month and I definately want to meet as many interesting people as I can.

    Looking forward for another GT like this!
