TECH Cocktail 4: Fun in Chicago with a Dancing Llama

**Update** I found the photo of me with the dancing llama. See below.
Last night (when I started writing this post, TECH Cocktail was still "last night"), TECH Cocktail 4 was another big hit, this time at the Barleycorn's in Wrigleyville. The quarterly networking event here in Chicago just keeps getting bigger and better. Thrown by Frank Gruber and Eric Olson, the companies that demoed were Menuism, text2store, timeXchange, ParkWhiz, Zaplee, and Interactive Mediums.
Menuism, I might add, managed to keep a strong lead from the ongoing text message votes from the attendees (provided by Interactive Mediums). I personally think it's because they got to demo at the rear bar...


There was also a dancing llama at TECH Cocktail, and if anyone should find the photo of me with the llama, let me know! I'd love to post some photos from the event. And all those wii fans out there would have had a blast, with the home run derby wii game stations that were set up for your playing pleasure.
In all, TECH Cocktail 4 was a great time. I met a lot of great people, and even got to keep a few balloons. That's what I call a party.

Thanks for the pictures, Frank.
