The TechCrunch New York Party kicks off in three hours, 7 PM EST, at BED in Manhattan.

The final guest list is here, although it doesn’t include sponsor attendees and press. All attendees should have received an email confirmation of the party as well. If you have an email confirmation but do not see your name on the list, just bring a printout of the email to the event. We have some good news – the entire wait list will be admitted to the rooftop area, and we’ll let as many of these people into the main area as BED allows.
