This will be a small post, because honestly, the party was not very bub.blicio.us – but since it’s google, we’ll give it some space.

About 50 San Francisco Ad Sale workers from Google and their clients met up at the Yerba Buena Bowling Center. It was actually a charity event where Google would match the high scores, with each point equating to two dollars. Proceeds were donated to the San Francisco Second Harvest Food Bank.

I arrived expecting more of a mix, but it was mainly Google and their clients. Everyone was extremely nice and welcoming, and the next thing I knew, I was thrown into the bowling festivities. And, after a slow start, I ended up getting the high score for my team!

Woot Woot!

There was plenty of fun and eclectic foods passed around, and of course, the drinks flowed like a chocolate fondue fountain.

It’s hard to cover an event that one has missed.  After leaving the GUBA and AlwaysOn (See story here and video here)event to go to the Reload event, I found myself at the DNA lounge. Looking around I thought maybe I was in the wrong place.  The folks didn’t look like your usual web 2.0 folks. These folks were in all black with ear piercing seemingly everywhere and there wasn’t any of the usual buzz. That’s because the event was over by 10 pm when I arrived. According to SplashCast who sponsored the event, it was a Hit.

As if hosting the event wasn’t enough, Guba’s Adriana Gascoigne also hosted the latest installment of bub.blicio.us tv.

In the vein of my Bubblicious Guba post, women in tech have been on my mind. Tomorrow, Tues Dec 5, Women 2.0 is holding an awesome event. I’ll be spending time with other women who I respect and just generally enjoy spending time with. I attended the inaugural Women 2.0 event in May and met many talented and inspiring women who I still keep in touch with.

A photo from the archives - I met Angie Chang, one of the founders of Women 2.0, and Elea Chang for the first time at SuperHappyDevHouse9. The inaugural Women 2.0 event was held the next morning. (photo credit: Joanne Wan) I’ve also spent some time with Wen-Wen Lam, and I just know that the event will be great!
