Launch Party Vancouver 6: Yet another resounding success!

Well, another set of startups to launch, another fantastic Launch Party Vancouver. Last Thursday, February 26th, 2009, I had the pleasure of attending the superbly organized LPV6 (thanks a million to Danny Robinson and Maura Rodgers for amazing organizational and warm-welcoming skills, and the rest of the crew at Strutta for making me feel so welcome – Jordan, Mike, Steve, Ross – you guys rock).

Launch Party Vancouver is much more than just a showcase of the amazing Vancouver-based tech startups. It’s a tradition and an event that demonstrates that we geeks are social beings who love to have a good time, and we certainly know how to show that we *know* how to have a great time :) Good times indeed.

I’d also like to commend Danny and Maura – I know that they had to field some criticisms regarding how quickly the registration closed, and stuff like that. The event is free, folks (with the exception of a few tickets that were sold at a ridiculously inexpensive price $ 5.00). Not even your first beer is that cheap. I know how hard it is to organize an event of this magnitude (and I am already embarked on yet another event organizational process, with Mental Health Camp).

I have a huge appreciation for what LPV6 is, and quite honestly, I had a fantastic time, and I know that lots of other folks in the Vancouver tech community did as well. After closing down the Landing we ended up at the BootUp Labs/Strutta/AdHack quarters where we played Rock Band (Jules, Jules, Jules – you are SUCH a glorious and fantastic partner-in-crime – Greg and Steve, Rock Band FTW!). Boris, as always, great advice and thank you my friend.

I also launched my Crowd profile, so feel free to friend me there (and also, if you think I should add some stuff to my profile, feel free to provide input). You can read more on the startups that were launched here (LPV site) and Rebecca’s post on the topic here (Miss604)

I’d like to go to one of these sometime I’m feeling better. There’s so much talent here in BC, and it’s best to jump on its bandwagon early!

Aww, you’re sweet. These things wouldn’t be as much fun without you, I mean that.
