“Here are a few of the tech/startup things in the bay area I can think of that I would like to do:

• Attend sf.rb meetings and meet all the SF rubyists
• Go to a TechCrunch BBQ
• Attend a blogger dinner with Dave Winer
• Meet Kevin Burton of Tailrank (just because I think what he’s doing is cool)
• Meet the Powerset crew (hopefully this won’t be a problem because of my affiliation with Google, but I’m curious what they’re up to!)

What other tech/startup things should I be doing? I’ve been reading about the SF startup scene with envy from either NYC, Denver, Seattle, or Orange County for years. “

Susan sez: I love how the Bay area is to tech innovators as Hollywood is to screenwriters–ground zero for the moth to flame nexus.
