The first two, which I had missed were (almost) impromptu backyard BBQ's with a dozen or so entrepreneurs at Mike Arrington's house. I'm not sure how I discovered these events, but it may have been Ethan's blog, which led to a wiki with open signup. I started to monitor the wiki for the next one, and a month or so later signed up for the 3rd event. The first parking spot I found was half a mile away from Mike's Atherton house. Wow! This was no longer a cozy BBQ, the pace was cramped with about 200 people. Lots of food in the backyard, a keg that the geek squad could not force to produce beer, and lots of startup product demos inside. It was a great event - probably the last one right-sized for the  house.  As a newbie blogger I was impressed  with what I considered phenomenal growth back then: Mike Arrington started a blog in June with the mission of “ obsessively profiling and reviewing every newly launched web 2.0 business, product and service”. Since June, the blog has grown to close to 5,500 Feedburner readers, a Technorati rank of 566, and made it to the CNET Top 100 list.
