gastown

Friday afternoon saw the Strutta offices alive with conversation, as dozens of members of our beloved tech community graced us with their presence to enjoy a few tasty libations.

That is, we offered free beer and a crowd gathered. Much fun was had. Raul was on hand to photograph and blog the gathering; his photos are below in the slideshow. In case you hadn't heard, Raul wants you to follow him on Twitter. 

At long last, the video of the beard shaving is ready for your viewing enjoyment. Pulling it together was something of a technical feat, as I was in Long Beach while the rest of the guys were treated to the professional barber treatment here at Strutta HQ.

But our trust video camera in the office, a second handheld one (for me) and two Mac laptops in iChat were up to the task of making it all happen. And then there was of course Travis of JD's Barber Shop, with his razor sharp wit, not to mention his razor sharp...uh...razor.

If you missed Launch party Vancouver 3, then you missed OUT!

A full crowd packed the Lamplighter in Gastown, and fun was had by all. We got a bit of coverage in 24HRS by Michael Schratter, who dropped by to say hi on his tour of all of the happenin' events on Friday night. Visit LaunchPartyHQ.com for the full report on the evening's festivities.

Since moving into our new home early last week, we've had a number of visitors pass through to say hi and check out our new digs.

Not everyone has the luxury of dropping by at will, so I thought I'd better hurry up and share some snaps of of our new space for those folks who aren't in the neighborhood (I'm looking at YOU, Cake Labs). Here's a slideshow of pics that I've snapped since we moved in, including a sneak-peek at some of our newest team members:

Imagine the warm and fuzzies I felt when I saw this in my inbox this morning:
