Trendy Lime is having their holiday party at Circa on Friday, December 17th. and YOU are invited. This is one holiday party not to be missed! Its Marilyn Monroe inspired theme “Some LIke it Hot” will make for a HOT time.

If your not quite sure what to wear, well here are some sexy ideas to get your wardrobe ready and in the mood. Ladies, consider the black and white colors, lace trims, low cuts, and corsets that were the rage in this film. Red lipstick, long lashes, and tousled hair are a must! “Timeless Glamor” from Oprah.com offers more tips. Gentlemen, you have some choices. The male actors in the film dressed in disguise as women, so if you’re up for some fun, give us your best Marilyn (see pics)! If you’re not so in touch with your 1950′s bombshell side, then toss on a bow tie and classic suit or naval officer attire.

There will be a Gift Exchange so don’t forget bring a gift of minimum $10 value labeled with your name — boys bring gifts for girls, girls bring gifts for boys — and we’ll tell you how to meet your mystery gift giver as the night progresses. There will also be Holiday treats on-site including Belgian Chocolates from Leonidas. Part of the proceeds will go to Children’s Charity. Hurry to get the Early Bird pricing of just $10!

The event is kindly sponsored by the Ukuku Law Group, specializing in structuring early stage start-ups for success.

The 3rd annual Web 2.0 Expo kicking off yesterday in San Francisco, Tuesday, March 31 – Friday, April 3, with the tag line “The Power of Less.”

In an time constrained by the economy and tighten budgets it’s more important than ever to look at the fundamental Web 2.0 technologies that can create the advantages that will help us move forward stronger than ever.

This year’s main focus areas are:
* Strategy & Business Models
* Marketing & Community
* Design & User Experience
* Fundamentals
* Development

The main focus areas are complemented by five mini focus tracks:
* Web Operations
* Mobile
* Security
* Web 2.0 at Work
* Government 2.0

Reflecting the expo theme of “The power of less” and increased attention to ROI, it’s interesting to note that the marketing and community track is heavily focused on measurement and ROI this year.

Free Expo passes available when you register for a hall pass at here using the code: EXPOPASS.

The Web 2.0 Expo brings together an eclectic group of leaders in the web space, and as always this event is equally about the connections made in the evening over drinks at the parties. Below are a list of a few of the evening events we’ll be attending:

The TechSet and Windows Mobile hosted very special event at the classic Belmont Lounge on Friday March 13th during SXSW Interactive 2009.

Guests relived the unique and stylish genre that conjured scenes from Las Vegas and Palm Springs during the Sinatra era. We were surrounded by incredible and pioneering entrepreneurs and influencers as we created our own Rat Pack rich with relationships that will propel us long after the curtain closed on SXSW.

In the end, 1,015 guests helped create one of the most exciting after dark events during SXSW.

Stephanie Agresta, the team at Windows Mobile, and I thank you for spending part of your evening with us!

I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story…
