TECH Cocktail 7 was on Thursday night. Same song. Mostly the same people. Free beers. We did our normal routine.

Went to Bar Louie across the street beforehand to get something to eat then went to TECH Cocktail. This time Google was one of the big sponsors. They supplied everyone with Google pint glasses to drink their free beer from and some weird Google flashing light bulbs that I avoided.

I met a few new people, so that was neat. Also, Eric Olson moved back to Chicago. I hadn’t seen him for a few months so it was good to see him. And there were a bunch of people – his girlfriend, Laura, and a few others – who I hadn’t seen since his going away party in September, so neat to see them too.

Thursday night was TECH Cocktail. Since its inception, I’ve gone to every TECH Cocktail event in Chicago except maybe one or two. The difference with this one is that the founders, Frank and Eric, asked me to take photographs for them. Mostly of people coming in after registration and standing in front of the logoed Hollywood red carpet backdrop. If I took your photo on Thursday, go here to find it.

After about an hour or so at the door I met back up with Alden, Jessica, Justin Wardo, John, Traci and Joe, who I’d come with. I took some more candid photos but mostly just enjoyed the party at that point. Oh, and I won a $25 iTunes gift card. It’s interesting how many people I know at these events and how exactly I know them. I always see people I met through Chicagoist, people who read this site, people I did business with at FeedBurner and people from Google now too. Oh, and there are people I know just from Tech Cocktail events.

The stars of the party were 2 ice sculptures that were a few feet tall and shaped like frogs. They were used to serve appletinis, which were then served to people in glowing glasses. Read more at Chicagoist and see more photos here. Or, check out my post on TECH Cocktail 2.
