This Saturday marks our second annual PragueCrunch to be held at the magnificent Hergetova Cihelna (try the veal!) on April 11 at 2pm. The program will be fairly off-the-cuff this weekend and I encourage those who’d like to speak for about 5 minutes during the event to drop me a line ASAP (john@crunchgear.com). We’ll also have a job hunt portion to the event with colored name tags for… → Read More

My God. I have been driving forever in that damn 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid and are in desperate need to drown my road woes in a frothy brew with good company. The wife and I will be in some crap hole bar on the Vegas strip tonight; come and join us. I’ll tweet the actual location when we find the right place around 8:00 pm tonight. Just look for the slightly overweight nerd in a white shirt and a… → Read More

Our first TechCrunch/CrunchGear meetup in Tokyo (TechCrunch Japan is one of Japan’s main blogs) yesterday night was a blast. Peter Ha was in town and over 100 people attended the event on very short notice, including representatives from Yahoo Japan, telecommunications giants KDDI and NTT, Opera, MySpace Japan, mobile social network GREE and many more. Japan’s super blogger Danny Choo also joined… → Read More
We’ll be meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada tonight at 9pm at the Casino Royale hotel. If you’re in Las Vegas and want to come by for a little bit of camaraderie and drinkie drinkie. You should just look for a bunch of drunk fat people but I’ll tweet our actual location around 9pm. → Read More

Head over to to Facebook or email john@crunchgear.com with the subject line “BERLIN ME” if you’re interested. We’d hold the event on Monday, June 9 at about 7pm at a location to be… → Read More
The kind folks at Jumpoff.tv filmed our CG/TC event in New York last week and he just sent us the footage. If you were there and had a company, you’re probably mentioned so take a look. Thanks to the guys at JumpOff for the hook up. Their site is dedicated to hip hop, entertainment, and, presumably, pasty men in khakis. → Read More

Here are our Gold sponsors, sponsors who put up time, money, and love to make the event a success tonight. Give them a round of applause. Empressr Empressr is the first of its kind, visual storytelling application. It allows you to create, manage and share rich media presentations online.

If you got an email for the wait list spots, congratulations. If you didn’t, there’s always next time. See you tomorrow! Hopefully Marvel doesn’t shut us down. After all, Matt Hickey is coming dressed as No-Pants Spiderman. Gold… → Read More
A little NSFW near the middle. Be warned. Are you excited to be able to spend quality time with your favorite Crunchies? Want to get PHa drunk and give him a swirly? Require beer to keep from turning into a wolf? All of those things will be possible this Thursday at Red Sky at 47 E. 29th Street between Park and Madison.

We’ve been talking quite a bit about our reader meet-up on May 1st in New York City, but we didn’t want the West Coast (you and I both know it’s the best coast) to feel left out, so we’re having an admittedly smaller meet-up on Friday the 25 in Seattle. You’ll get a chance to meet with Yours Truly, our own Devin Coldewey, and Peter Ha‘s flying in via Virgin… → Read More
With the excitement brewing about our CrunchNetwork Meet-Up on May 1 in New York, we’ve decided to slowly open up RSVPs to about 200 more people in the expectation that we’ll have a bigger venue picked by the middle of next week. Sponsorships are lining up quite nicely and we look forward to some amazing giveaways and a bunch of cool demos at the show. That said, pop over to Eventbrite… → Read More
I’ll be in Pittsburgh until Wednesday of next week for RoboBusiness and a visit to the alma mater and then I’ll be Columbus, Ohio until the weekend. I’d love to meet CG readers in both locations. Drop me a line at john @ crunchgear dot com or leave a note after the jump. → Read More
Peter and I are headed to Düsseldorf tomorrow afternoon in preparation for our flight out on Sunday. We would have flown in the animal cracker box back from Hanover but after the Hamburg flight we’d like to stick to big airplanes leaving the heart of hurricane Emma, not small planes flying into it. That said, if you’re in Düsseldorf tomorrow, Saturday 08/03/08, and would like to… → Read More
Peter and I are headed to Düsseldorf tomorrow afternoon in preparation for our flight out on Sunday.

[photopress:scaled.IMG_1359.JPG,full,pp_image] Proof: It was not a total sausage party. There was sausage, obviously, but it was chorizo. It has been said that there is no party like a CrunchGear party because a CrunchGear party never comes to an end. This, friends, was true about our strange little meet-up in a weird paella place near the Fira last Wednesday where I got to meet some cool… → Read More
We will hold tomorrow’s TC/CG/MC meet-up at the Cafe del Sol, Av Paral.lel 182, right down the street from the Fira. I’ve received quite a few emails already but RSVP with the subject line “BCN MEET-UP” to john @ crunchgear.com so I can put together a head count. Apparently a bunch of strangers in a law office wasn’t quite a good idea. Remember: this is TOMORROW, Feb… → Read More
Blogging is hard. Look at the crowds we have to face just to bring you all the goodies you’re getting today. Just look! So later tonight we’re going to have drinks and stuff. And, if you’re in the Las Vegas area, either for CES or you live here, we’d like you to join us. It’s your chance to meet the bloggers behind the blog and then we can blog about it on our blog. → Read More
To all those who emailed asking about the meet up I’d like to invite you all to meet at about 9pm on Tuesday, January 8, at the Monte Carlo Pub and Brewery in the Monte Carlo. This place has good beer — it no longer brews its own, sadly — and has some standard grub for hungry CE folks. Look for the CG folks near the front at about 9pm. We’re all on AIM and email so feel… → Read More
