Warning: Off Topic Post
Paul Denlinger of China Vortex and I attended the TechCrunch August Capital party yesterday night. (Paul’s a bona-fide A-list China blogger, even if I’m a pretender.) I had a great time–a great chance to forget about the larger, fundamental economic problems facing the United States and the world at large! Sand Hill Road (home of the world’s VC)seems completely separate from the hard times that Alibaba’s Jack Ma talks about, or the mortgage meltdown.
Here’s some photos to bring the experience to our readers in China:
Long line to enter, over 1000+ people attended.

Regular CNReviews coverage will resume on the next post!
Elliott, thanks for being such a wonderful and gracious host while I’m back in Silicon Valley. I really enjoyed it.
I’m really enjoying CNReviews coverage of the runup to the Olympics, and am looking forward to hearing what your contributors say about the Olympics. I’m sure that it will be fair, balanced and insightful.
Here’s looking forward to seeing you again soon, either in China or SV!
Elliott, I’m sure your whip is far more bling than some old Tesla roadster…
