Sarah Lacy, author of “Once You’re Lucky, Twice You’re Good: The Rebirth of Silicon Valley and the Rise of Web 2.0″ recently announced a multi-city book tour.  In her own words: “I’m looking for places that have a thriving entrepreneur scene  and a cool indie book store or bar that would sponsor the event. [...] I want to make sure I’m picking the best cities where there’s true demand for a fun event with real substantive conversation and debate about the state of Web entrepreneurship across the U.S”  Sarah will be making an appearance in Boston on September 15th.  Best of luck with the rest of the tour, Sarah.

In the words of Michael Arrington: “Real world events are a really important part of the Silicon Valley community. We meet and interact with so many people over the Internet and by phone and never have a chance to meet them in person. To have the chance to spend a few minutes talking in-person over a beer makes those relationships real. Small, intimate events are always best, but sometimes it’s fun to get a ton of geeky people together, too, and just see what happens”. At last night’s Third Annual Tech Crunch Meetup, nearly 1,000 “over caffeinated, slightly intoxicated entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and press” ambled about on the huge outdoor patio of the August Capital offices in Menlo Park. Proceeds from the event were donated to Malaria No More, a non-profit dedicated to the eradication of Malaria in the Third World. The only smudge on an otherwise perfect evening was the appalingly short supply of the mini-burgers that were served during the event. My wife Lauren and I watched helplessly as the servers walked past us with their trays held high in the air. It seemed we were never in the right place at the right time. Finally, we hatched a plot, waited outside the food preparation area, accosted one of the servers and were able to obtain one of the greasy little gastronomic gems. It was amazing.
