And perhaps the questions were simply too intimidating or The Valley Tavern too alluring, but ten teams did not get a single answer correct. I’m frankly conflicted on how I feel about this statistic
Question 4, which sent folks to Walkershaw Clothing had the most correct responses, followed by Questions 2 and 3 which lead to Angel’s Market and Philz Coffee, respectively.
Question 9 proved to be the most difficult, followed closely by Question 5.
A final thank you to this year’s sponsors Google, Element PR, First Republic Bank, TreeRing and UrbanSitter. This event doesn’t happen without their support.
In addition, a big ‘muchas gracias’ to all of those companies that donated prizes this year:
- Ambiance
- Cole Hardware
- Delfina/Locanda
- eCreamery
- Metromint
- One Kings Lane
- Patxi’s Pizza
- Rosenblum Wine
- School of the Arts
- See’s Candy
- SHN Curran Theater
- Slim’s or Great American Music Hall
- Sports Basement
- TaskRabbit
The Tech Search Party Web site will be going into hibernation until next year’s event. By October or November, look for an announcement with the official date of the 5th annual event, tentatively called Cinco de Tech Search Party.
And a final thank you to everyone who came out on a Saturday night for a good time supporting a good cause. Almost $12,000 was raised to support Alvarado, James Lick, and Marshall Elementary.
