Earlier this week, Alison and I attended and shot the video for Dave McClure’s Startup2Startup holiday party over at Automattic, makers of WordPress (btw, they have quite the kick-ass space over at Pier 38 in SF). The December Startup2Startup was not only a holiday party, but it was the “Roast of Robert Scoble.”

It was a lot of fun, so we thought we’d share the video that we did for Dave with our Bubblicious readers. You can watch the pre-roast interview below, but head on over to Startup2Startup’s YouTube channel to watch the entire roast (note: as of 6:30pm PST the videos of the roast were still uploading and probably won’t be available until later tonight).

In addition to the pre-roast video, you’ll definitely want to watch David Hornik’s video, which was played during his roast of Scoble. We loved it and it’s sure to entertain you, too. Check it out. But first here’s the pre-roast interview with Scoble:

Robert Scoble and Louis Gray

Last night during a small, but memorable dinner, we all wondered who would leak the news, Robert Scoble was leaving FastCompany. The story is live on TechCrunch right now and according to the story, Scoble confirmed with Mike sometime before the evening was over.

Indeed Robert Scoble is leaving his full time job at FastCompany.tv to introduce, well, we’ll let him tell you at SXSW. He’ll continue to write a column for FastCompany in the future.

Scoble continues the story in his post, “Why I haven’t posted for two weeks.”

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