Launch Party Vancouver 5 – Semi-live blog

We are already at Launch Party Vancouver 5 (LPV5) and while I sincerely doubt we’ll be able to liveblog, I thought I’d at least start a blog post about it. I know, I’m a keener. But hey, I’m here alright! Looking forward to seeing my friends from Vancouver’s tech/PR/social media community. Being away for a few weeks has meant that I haven’t seen all of you, and can’t wait to see y’all!

Rebecca is here editing a podcast of an interview she just did for RadioZoom – she interviewed “Less than Jake” (a ska/punk band) at The Commodore and it went really well. I am not sure how much battery my laptop has, so if you don’t see any further text from me, it means I ran out of power.

Hashtags are #lpv5 and I am assuming Flickr tags too, lpv5 although I’m going to tag mine too as “Launch Party Vancouver 5″

UPDATE – 4.40pm – Tris Hussey, John Biehler, Marco Batilana, Jordan Behan, Maura Rodgers, Danny Robinson are all here Jonathon Narvey just arrived and opened his MacBook, which is kinda neat. All three of us are now blogging.

UPDATE – 4:50pm – I don’t think my laptop’s battery is going to resist, so I might end up not liveblogging. That’s ok, as I got a few photos. I’m going to see what whether I’m going to have my photo taken and also, take some photos… Everyone, see you soon!

I had a chance to see a few of the booths (the launched entrepreneurs!) – hence the name of Launch Party! Thanks to Maura, Dimitri, Danny of Strutta. This looks like it’s going to be a great evening. I am loving Unwine’d already!

UPDATE – 9:10pm – We are still going strong at LPV5 (see my Flickr photos)

There is a great thing about NOT being on Facebook and having caring and awesome friends who know this and still take the time to invite me to events through normal email: I always get the invites in the end And therefore, even though I’m not the official organizer (Maura Rodgers, Jordan Behan and Danny Robinson of Strutta are), I feel as though I can invite y’all ( yes Matt, I do say “y’all” … it does sound very Texan, doesn’t it? ) to Launch Party Vancouver 5, which will take place on September 18th at UnWine’d (great timing!).

I’ve been really looking forward to attending an event at UnWine’d. Many of my close friends live in the downtown/Yaletown/West End area and therefore I often walk by on my way to take the 98 B-Line at Davie and Howe. I’ve been so remiss with trying new places that I’ve not had a chance to go there, so when Maura invited me to LPV5 I got really really excited, not only because I get to see my tekkie/social media/PR friends, but also because I get to try a totally new place.

This should be a warm-up week for the following week, when lots of things are happening. Gus did a round-up post for events for September, I did one too, and obviously I’d be remiss if I didn’t remind you of Vancouver Bloggers Meetup (Sep 25th) and BarCamp (Sep 26th).
