The place the thing was in last night was pretty cool, and I'd not even heard of it previously ...
... it's called the Catalyst Ranch, and that's pictues of the "Polka Room" (one of a half dozen funky spaces there) ... full of all sorts of "kitsch" ... a very fun place!
The event was a fundraiser by TweetNetworking, but for the $10 donation they had beer, wine, sodas, and a big spread donated by a local Domino's that had various pizzas, pastas, and their new oven-baked sandwiches (which I'd not tired previously and really liked the three types I sampled!), so it was actually a pretty good deal.
