Girls In Tech

On the evening of Thursday, November 5th, the Chic Meets Geek event was held at the Automattic headquarters, home of Wordpress. Overlooking the sparkling bay, Chic Meets Geek brought together members of the San Francisco Opera BRAVO! Club and the Silicon Valley tech scene.
The evening was one big convergence of mainstream arts and emerging tech, resulting in the ultimate in SF culture. The special guests ranged from a former Dallas Cowboy to a stem cell biologist. The most exciting part of the evening – coming from a true chic geek – was was tapping my toes to the incredible live jazz band while checking out the cool tech demos from MixMatchMusic, OneRiot, and NetworkedBlogs, among others. Just as I thought the evening couldn’t get any lovelier, I was offered a gift bag on my way out filled with treats from the generous event sponsors.
Watching salsa dancers, sipping on a local rosé, schmoozing with Randi Zuckerberg et al., and mobile-tweeting by the water in heels too high to handle: ahhhh, just another Thursday night in San Francisco.
