I couldn't stay for the entire Launch Party Vancouver 3 unfortunately. But thanks to the handy dandy alpha service, Qik.com (my Qik videos), I was able successfully stream live three videos from my Nokia N95, one with Raincity's very own Dave Olson on the way there (mysteriously ended by a cellphone outage or was it the alpha software?), one with Jesse Silver of Sun on Open Solaris and one with Jordan Behan of Vancouver's stealth video startup Strutta.

On the road to LPV3 w/Dave Olson:

Ring a ding! The deserving women of the Vancouver Tech Women to Watch in 2008 are invited to a presser and photo op before Launch Party episode 3, on January 25th at 5:30 at the (suddenly controversial) Lamplighter Pub on Water St. here in Gastown.

The stunningly productive Maura Rodgers of Strutta rallied up this plan to acknowledge the ladies of the RCS list along with the fellas on the Techvibes Vancouver tech-industry insiders to watch in 2008.

Noted Vancouver photographer-blogger-partier Duane Storey will coax the best shot ever out from the assembled luminaries before getting appetizer bit stuck in their teeth ;-).
