So Keytar Bear didn't show up in the end, but the Boston Holiday Tech Co-Party at the Lansdowne Pub on Thursday night was still a blast, with more than 300 people attending and nearly $5,000 raised for InnerCity Weightlifting.
And unlike the last time it was held in 2013, there was no police intervention. Hallelujah!
Still being sort of new to Boston's tech scene, it was a great opportunity to meet some people I haven't crossed paths with yet. After meeting David Brown, former executive director of TUGG, and Brian Cagney and David Gallant of Act-On, I realized I should be documenting some of these meetings, so I took my camera out afterwards and grabbed a few shots of some other folks I met.
One last thing: Drunk Santa did make it to the party, as Brown had suggested to me last week. Outside of his drunkenness, he was a real nice dude. We talked about video games.
Here's everyone else I met:
That's the extent of the photos I took, but Pretty Instant, the Boston startup that basically formed because of the first Holiday Tech Co-Party in 2011, got a lot of great shots that you can find here.
Here are a few of my favorites:
