Hangin’ with MC Hammer at the Crunchies

Posted By Hup | January 10, 2009

Yeah, that’s me, Stephanie and MC Hammer last night at the Crunchies, which are basically tech’s version of the Oscars. It’s put on by the biggest tech-related blog in the world TechCrunch (which I’ve written for in the past) and was held up in San Francisco. The awards ceremony was held in the Herbst Theater and the MySpace after party was held across the street in City Hall - yeah, right in the freakin’ City Hall.

The actual awards event was packed full of the who’s who of tech, including Mark Zuckerberg (CEO and founder of Facebook), Marissa Mayer (manages all of Google’s products), Evan Williams, Biz Stone, and Jack Dorsey (founders of Twitter) and of course, MC Hammer.

I want to give a huge thanks to Michael Arrington (founder of TechCrunch) for hooking me up with the tickets, as always we had an awesome time hanging out. Also, even though it was a pretty hard core tech crowd, even Stephanie loved the shindig. Now that’s a sign of a great tech event right there.

Also, there were a couple things that really stuck out to me as I was running around the Crunchies last night with Stephanie - things that I’m noticing more and more and that I’m pretty excited about. Things such as:

We knew a TON of people at the event. It’s amazing how many people we now know and come up to us to say hi when we’re at events out here. It’s a great feeling and a good sign that we’re actually building up a great network of friends here in California.
We’re getting to do a lot of cool stuff. Like I said, this was like the Oscars of tech and we were given tickets by the guy running it. Now that’s pretty sweet stuff.
We look DAMN good when we dress up. It’s been a while since Stephanie and I have cleaned up a bit and damn did we look good!
Way more people watch our videos than I realize. There literally wasn’t one person that we talked to who didn’t mention seeing our videos that we’ve been posting lately. Also, Stephanie swears that a few people were pointing at us. I wonder if they know our theme song?

You can find out more about the Crunchies over here on TechCrunch.

p.s. Since we now are homies with MC Hammer (at least we think so), I sent him over a link to this video of Stephanie gettin’ her groove on to one of his chart toppers, 2 Legit 2 Quit. I’m sure he enjoyed it.
