Thanks for providing a thorough summary of the event, and I'm glad you enjoyed yourself and the various geek stickers :) You're absolutely right that there are TONS of networking events to choose from in the Bay Area. I go to several each week, when I'm not organizing them myself! We've found, however, that geekSessions is one of the few such events to tackle hard-core tech topics, rather than focusing on pure networking (lunch 2.0, SF Beta) or startup pitches (NewTech, Stirr). I think that's one of the reasons why we've sold out both of our events so far. You raise an interesting point about the Looking for Job stickers. I wondered myself whether they had a certain desperate quality, and I noticed that almost no one was wearing them. Next time, we may axe them and have more h4x0r!!1 stickers instead. -Christian Co-Producer, geekSessions Great post!
