Last Friday I went to TechCrunch’s party at August Capital, a top-tier venture fund in Menlo Park, but left before the police showed up to shut it down at midnight. With approximately 900 guests, TechCrunch 9 was a scene – everyone who was anyone in tech was there, in addition to the usual suspects – the bub.blicio.us posse, the boyz from Looksmart’s 3rd Floor, Lane Hartwell, ValleyWag photographer extraordinaire, Scott Beale of Laughing Squid, Robert Scoble, the Scobleizer, and Sanford Barr of STIRR.

In spite of the generous beer and wine, frozen margaritas, and copious food dished out via fast-moving and plentiful servers, the party was not as relaxed as it could have been. Perhaps that’s what happens when you get a lot startup founders and venture capitalists in one place – too much nervous energy. The most relaxed person on the premises was probably Guy Kawasaki.

Someone commented, “Nobody’s getting laid at this party.” Indeed the male to female ratio was probably ten to one, but there were some very attractive women in attendance, if you guys would only look up from the demos.

Companies that demoed can be seen here.
