Guy,
The Churchhill Club Web sites reads 8/17 not 8/16 or am I confusing this with another event?

Those are some interesting people – I think it’ll be interesting. Reid Hoffman is pretty well known. Joe Kraus is a very interesting guy too – I recently interviewed him on my blog. He seems to really know what he’s talking about.
I’m not too familiar with the other guys, though I have heard of both of the companies.

Looks like it will be a great event. I hope to make it, though I will have to fight with some serious bay area traffic to get there from Walnut Creek. PS. Love the new blog design Guy…

My prediction on the opening sentences:
Reid: hi, not sure why I’m on this panel, as I’ve got a huge user base and can probably figure out several ways to monetize it. Why did my PR guy sign me up to this???
Joe: it’s wiki, so it’s good. wikigood. Like wicked good, get it? Hey, cut it out, Excite@Home wasn’t my fault, AT&T screwed us!
Roman: we’re like Skype and Gizmoproject, but with a much less memorable name (but babies say it a lot!)
Alex: well, Yahoo could, oh, no.. flickr.. uh, Google.. er.. hmm. picasa. Well, there’s always MSN, right?
Guy: Thanks for coming everyone, don’t forget to get your own FilmLoop and I’ll be autographic my book for all attendees!

Looking forward to this, should be a nice warm up before the Techcrunch party on the 18th.
