Thursday night. 8:45PM. I had a tough choice to make: do I drive ~1 hour to the Holon industrial park (something like south san jose) for a GarageGeeks and Yossi Vardi party hosting guest-of-honor Sergey Brin - or - in my new “ex-VC” mode, do I venture to the local DVD library for a new flick. Obviously, I opted to party. As a former VC collegue of mine told me at the party, “How can I miss an invitation-only event with Sergey Brin?”.
For a video (partial) of the event, check out this blog.
Sergey Brin came to Israel to participate in the Israeli Presidential Conference 2008. Together with a who’s who of participants - it’s rumored that Ben Gurion Airport had never seen as many private jets…
Sergey held the stage until just about midnight… by the time I got home, I was definitely tired. I’m sure he’ll remember his visit to Israel, even though I doubt that he’ll return my emails… even though I now have his personal google email (me and all the rest of the GarageGeeks party attendees ).
