The Ars and Giz WWDC Party Was a Good Time
Posted by Brian Lam at 5:44 AM on June 12, 2008
Things went well last night at the Giz and Ars WWDC party. So well, I woke up a little late this morning. If you came, thank you for making it an event full of wonderful, beautiful people. Yes, you too, mysterious ponytail man wearing an Apple shirt! All 7 of you. I met lots of great devs, but there were some people I saw who I didn't get a chance to say hello to like Leah Culver of Pownce, iJustine and Jordan Golson and Megan McCarthy, of ValleyWag fame. Here are some photos, courtesy of commenter BossKev and his amazing Nikon D3 DSLR. (WANT.) Jacqui and Clint from Ars have some photos up on their page, but If you've got extra photos, let me know and I'll put em in the gallery. Nutbastard: thanks for covering my bar tip and making the drive to hang out. [Ars and more from Flickr user Cirne]

@nutbastard: I'm guessing that they were trying to get attention by roadblocking the bar. Some people don't know the difference between good and bad attention **Raises Hand**
BTW - you need to clean out Carmen's pipes, dude... She's getting all wound up.
She's turning parts of the younger commenters blue.

Seems awfully roomy. Was that a ballroom? I just can't help thinking that a more intimate space might have worked better -- something like a shower stall or phone booth. Still, it looks like a good time was had by all, which is what really counts. To all those who say "swordfight", I can tell you that the slashdot meetup in my village had way fewer women -- just one, and she was a lurker.

Hey, Y'all. More or less just waking up for the day (yeah, I lead a rough life). The party last night was just amazing. I mean, over the many years I've been to quite a few of these type of WWDC/Macworld/NAB/etc. beer bashes and, I gotta say, I've never seen so many people having a truly pleasant and fun time. I think you can see that in the pictures (which, btw, my photos are the "no-flash" series--I NEVER use flash, LOVE the D3--so creatively titled _DSCxxxx).
It was great to meet nutbastard, Brian, Lisa and other folks live and in person, and it was fun to get to play "big geek photographer" for a few hours. Many thanks to Blam/Gizmodo and the ARS team for hosting a fabulous event!

And i'm sure all the star commenters are far more boring IRL than their alter-egos lead them on to be. Like i fully expected Nut to be hanging from the rafters, screaming obsenities, and flinging shit at passerbys, but that obviously didn't happen.

@ANoel: What I say online..is also what I say offline. I don't censor myself behind a computer because it gives me a big ego boost. People talk shit all the time. Do yourself a favor and quit acting like you're all that or something. NO ONE is perfect wether it's saying something or looking a certain way. No way am I perfect and I've had my friends before tell me I look like a stripper in something i'm wearing or my ass looks wide or my arms look fat and I don't care, I like HONESTY up the ass. Get over it. Tell your daughters to take their tits back for all I care. Your daughters judge people too, they aren't angels. I'm done with you. Enough.

@carmen:
I think a lot of people might take offense to your "saggy tits" comment, especially the woman you dis. Maybe you should try saying that to her face some time - then try to save your own. Why do you think it's basic human nature to belittle some stranger? What's it it for you Carmen?
If either of my two daughters said that about someone I'd make them take theit tits back to Dr. Myers.

I'm not insecure about my tits...my tits are just fine thank you.
Don't tell me you never looked at someone and judged them even a little by how they look. I'm just not going to sit there and lie to myself...I don't judge someone entirely on how they look but first impressions are looks...and her tits sag! ok she's not even wearing a bra I think so that's her OWN fault if she decides to go out without a bra and she's not flat chested.

You guys and gals can't imagine how I would have liked to be there.
Since The Giz and Ars are the two sites I visit the most, I always see the party pics and wish I could've been there.
*throws himself on bed and cries*
No, but seriously, next year I'll be there. After my semester in China it'll be possible to skip one or two or three weeks of university and check out the WWDC for myself.
And since my GF is into Apple even more than I am she'll be coming, too.

@carmen: If you're going to celebrate, as you do, feeling free to say whatever you want whenever you want, then you're also going to have to accept that sometimes it crosses the line for other people. Those are the rules, right?
I wouldn't bother responding, but I'm pretty sure I don't make the kind of comments you reference, certainly not regularly. And I don't want to be lumped in as doing so. And regardless of what I may or may not think, thinking and saying are actually two very different things, just like saying and doing are two different things. And on top of that, saying it once is one thing. Making it a habit of how one approaches commenting is another.
As far as I'm concerned this is a place of opinions and ideas, so that's what is fair game. (i.e. if I say something stupid, you get to slam me for it), but looks? success? etc? Not so much.
I'm not saying I'm correct, but if you get to call somebody ugly with saggy tits - and keep in mind, these aren't random public figures in a caption contest, or even random strangers from an image file, these are folks who may well see your comments given the context of the pictures - then I get to agree with someone who says that sounds childish and insecure, if not mean-spirited.
I recognize I'm a grumpy old p.c. liberal, but I do have my reasons for my positions. You're right, none of us are perfect, but that doesn't mean any of us are beyond reproach either.

Yes lets just call it for what it is, a sausagefest. 20 guys and 3-4 women in the group. I would have at least taken the photos when more females were present. Could you have at least waited for a waitress to enter the frame? Oh the shame...I've been to AD&D sessions with a higher ratio of women. Sure, they were nerd girls, but damnit they were OUR nerdy girls and they liked us...
