We had concerns going into last night’s WHIR Networking Event in Los Angeles that the incredible downpour might get in the way of a really good turnout, but thanks to a large and excellent group of people who braved the weather to get there, we kicked off our 2010 events schedule with a bang.
I don’t have the official final count on hand, but anecdotally, I know there were well over 100 people who turned up at The Air Conditioned Supper Club last night to do a little business and have a lot of fun.
I wanted to thank our sponsors again for making the event possible – OpenSRS, eNom, Telx, Net2EZ, Giglinx and AutomaticSiteMap, who all gave away some really cool prizes.
And of course, I want to thank everyone who came out in the rain, when it would have been easy to stay home and stay dry, for making last night a big event, and a whole lot of fun.
Here’s one picture of some of the fun. We’ll have a lot more pictures and video going up next week, so stay tuned for that.
For anyone who is planning to attend our Houston event on February 18, I’ll see you there (and you can follow that link to RSVP).
