Thanks Jamie, Sumon, and Tim
I appreciate you guys opening your doors last night for an entrepreneurial get together. I had a lot of fun and look forward to watching everyone's ventures.

Hey Dave, great to meet you too. While we're in the san francisco area we hope to do another one of these meetups. Just leave a message if this would be of interest and any feedback you had on making it better.
Everybody is welcome for the next one which we will put on soon :) shoot me an email.

Mike and I enjoyed it alot too - especially seeing the infamous Yscraper for the first time and meeting the Weebly's in person. If the group gets any bigger, we could also host it at our office at 2nd/Folsom (right across the street from cnet.com). We could probably hold up to 50 or so. (There is another conference room half the size of our main work space in this picture http://streamfocus.wordpress.com/about/ which only has a conference table in it) Maybe we could have a two pronged approach to this - a purely informal side like the get together at your place which was great, and a "demo day" where people could demo their apps.
At the techcrunch party, we got a lot of value out of pitching what we were doing to people (shaking Guy Kawasaki's hand was a bit of fun too). At first we did a bad job, but with practice, we got better. What would be interesting about a "demo-day" version is you would get practice pitching plus some excellent geek feedback on the product. The practice could be a really big deal for those times when demoing is serious business. Just a thought :)

I don't know too much about the product, but I definitely think you guys are on to something.
