Catch the second day (OK, mostly night) of ad:tech San Francisco in our Flickr albums. Here’s day one. Here’s day two. Oh, yes, we do love to have fun. Rubicon rocked. The Oldtimers party was exquisite. Datran did dinner and...what would an ad:tech photo album be without booth babes? Enjoy.

Overheard Around the Dining Table…
Statements may or may not have been made at the table around which the people at left are sitting (so don’t, like, push thumbtacks into their faces):
“A moderator’s job is to make the panelists uncomfortable.”
“Clearly ad:tech is not the leading edge trade show. They’re the big monster ... SXSW? They’re, like, bleeding bleeding edge.”
“I hate those goddamn sessions. I just come here to spend time with the bloggers.”
“I don’t smoke and I don’t dance. But I like to smoke, and I like to dance.”

Wednesday night at ad:tech totally kicked Tuesday night’s ass.
It started pretty innocuously. I met up with Ana Yoerg, whom I haven’t seen since last year, and we hit the W to bootleg internet and do work. Turns out Return Path was having a party there, so we sat on a couch like square bears with our Macbook Pros and tried to avoid the aerodynamic alcohol beverages.
Every once in awhile I’d look up and meet eyes with a well-dressed waiter, whose only function was to hold up a sign that said “Return Path.”

Rather than bore you with a wordy monologue of what went on during the first night at ad:tech San Francisco, the story is best told through pictures and there’s a lot of them here that capture the first day of the online marketing conference with hit record attendance levels of 14,000 plus. In the picture album, you’ll see all the usual shenanigans including booth babes, costumed characters, women with lots of cleavage for no reason other than to make men drool and hang around a trade show booth, industry luminaries, nightlife and just plain fun.

We truly appreciate your enthusiasm for the industry and your desire to make sure everyone is supplied with the best free well drinks while watching dancers shake their booties atop platforms, speakers and bars but if you want people to actually show up to your party, you can’t schedule it on the same night every other company does. You see, ad:tech spans three days and there are two big party nights. Unfortunately, you all want schedule your party on the first night. This presents problems and challenges for those of us who like to make sure we take every possible opportunity to suck down all available free well drinks and catch our favorite platform dancers.
