The vidding crashers: August Capital boots vloggers from TechCrunch party

The lust for fame and riches drives many a Silicon Valley aspirant to pull awesinine stunts. Take, for example, the videoblog that crashed this weekend's startup-studded TechCrunch party at the offices of Menlo Park firm August Capital.

We're not sure just what vlogger Sarah Meyers did to get expelled — did she accidentally make interesting conversation? Was her costume deemed too glamorous, her manner too non-simpering? Or was she just booted for bragging she wasn't on the guest list?

Either way, the other startuppers she chats with seem even more desperate. Need more proof that the blogger holding this party has become, in some people's eyes, the iron fist that rules the Valley's wannabes?

She was making 'advances' on Guy Kawasaki. I stepped in and she handed me a card that looked like a party promo card. I think she has AGF (asian guy fetish).

Those are some hot shirts, though.

Please. The disco dance remix of "Take Me or Leave Me" was the only thing that made that worth listening to.

Hi Larry Chiang,

I was not making advances on Guy Kawasaki. Thank you very much. BTW, my card is representative of my party personality. What is wrong with AGF?

Hi Scott Kidder,

I got the disco dance remix of the RENT soundtrack from a mobitv party on Thursday. It's cool.

And to ditherati- at least you watched the whole thing and I bet you watched it twice. :)

Sarah - I like the outfit in the clip above. Great job covering the party for the thre minutes or so you had. You should try to record more of these tech parties because we're all very tired of hearing a bunch of old guys on podcasts. A younger female voice is refreshing. BTW there is NOTHING WRONG with AGF. You can holler at me anytime.:)

"AGF" is a larger and larger concern here in the greater silicon valley area. First step toward healing is realizing you have it.

IMPULSE: BTW, your card is permanently inside my vehicle as it slid into the driver side window. Are you going to crash STIRR next wed at F&A?
