At this lunch we’ll discuss how Blurb is democratizing the publishing industry and allowing anyone to be a published author. We’ll also make print-on-demand technology sexy and talk about our cross-platform Java Swing app and Ruby on Rails website. You can also see some of our books and get a true feel for what we do.

See you on Valentine’s Day!

Bored in SF this New Years Eve?

Filed under: San Francisco, announcement — markjen @ 7:17 pm

Our friend Kurt Collins is helping put together a rockin’ NYE party this year. It’s not free like other Lunch 2.0 events, but hey, you get an open bar plus desserts! Here’s the info:

First off, the year is almost over. Happy Holidays to everyone! It’s been a pretty awesome year all-around and I’m trying to end the year (and begin the new one) with a bang. Some of you know that I throw open bar parties once a month. Well, in lieu of one this month, I’ve decided to throw a New Year’s Party at Sugar Cafe on Sutter St. (near Taylor St.) in San Francisco.

Let’s get the details out of the way. Yes, this time, there is a cover fee. But it’s pretty reasonable and when you hear all the stuff you get for it, you’ll understand why there’s a cover.

Cover Charge: $60
Link to purchase tickets: http://www.ticketfusion.com/store/one/index.html?store_id=11633&page_type=ticket&show_id=356292
Location: Sugar Cafe, 679 Sutter St. (Between Mason and Taylor)
Kurt’s Cell Phone: (415) 786-3268
Kelly’s Cell Phone: (650) 387-9168
Time: 9pm - 2am
Theme: Black and Pink (wear it if you got it — and before you ask, I will be rocking a black and pink zuit suit if I can find one in the store with a feather in my hat, wing-tipped shoes, and you’re damn right I’m going to get a cane.)

There are a couple of very cool things about this party, though.

First off, it’s a completely private party. For those of you that know Kelly Rogal, the two of us are only inviting our friends to join us on NYE. So if you want a completely chill party with people you probably know and you don’t want to deal with the potential randomness of NYE, then come on through. There will be a DJ with a very small dance floor in case you want to get down. You can forward this invitation along to all of your friends as well to have them come on through. If we can get 200 tickets pre-sold to the event (by December 21st), then it will remain private. So purchase as soon as possible.

Second: OPEN BAR, BABY!!! Yes, we managed to get open bar between the hours of 9 and 11 so you guys can still get your open bar drink on. In my opinion, that alone is worth the cover charge.

Third: We’re giving away a ton of prizes. I could list them all here, but suffice to say, they’re good. You can only get the prizes if you buy a ticket before December 21st, though. There’s a beauty bash for 15-20 people with appetizers and wine… there’s a 2 month complimentary membership to the San Francisco Bay Club… there’s free bottle service at the Cellar… and then there’s stuff from Jack Daniels, Bacardi, Heineken, Red Bull, and tons more. I could go on, but I can’t type everything. Just go to the link above where you can purchase the tix to see a more complete description (that will be constantly updated).

Fourth: FOOD!!! Yep, we’re going to be serving free desserts all night long. Decadent, yummy, sweet, sweet goodness. Where else are you going to be able to go on NYE that’s going to serve you food without asking for your first born’s college tuition?

Fifth: Free champagne at midnight! Oh wait… what I meant to say was… free champagne all night long! So even if you don’t feel like paying for drinks after 11… you can always have champagne!

Come on guys… you can’t tell me that’s not all worth it. At the very least, I just want to ring in the New Year with some good friends in a comfortable spot with no muss, no fuss, and lots of fun. So for any of you that will be in San Francisco, please come on through. Kelly and I would love to see you all on the last night of the old year and the first couple hours of the new year.

Paglunch 2.0: Paglo hosts Lunch 2.0 in Palo Alto

Hosts: Paglo
Address: 1804 Embarcadero Road, Suite 201 Palo Alto, CA
Date: Wednesday February 6, 2008 noon-1:30pm

You may have heard of Paglo as they recently launched the company to some good press. A number of publications declared that Paglo is “Google for IT.” Others called us a “Web 2.0 approach to IT” and a “revolution” for “IT administrators left in the Jurassic age.”Join us to discuss the future of search and business. We will also cover what we are working on and our vision for Paglo. It should be a lively discussion made even spicier by tasty Caribbean food from Back-a-Yard. Plus, the first 50 people get a free “Go Paglo Go” (Francisco Paglo on his Moa) T-shirt!
