The Crunchies Award show was produced by TechCrunch, GigaOm, and VentureBeat. It is always one of the best parties of the year. This year was no exception.
The hit of the show was another clever song by the Richter Scales. Last year's prescient instant classic was "Here Comes Another Bubble". This year they came back with a hilarious song "RIP Good Times...Hello Great Times".
The song chronicles a startup CEO rallying his troops through the recession, turning down a $500M buyout offer, focusing on the positives (pounds of brains, and months of cash), and adding porn to juice up their product offering.
Rather than expound on all the highlights, let me just share some photos from the event.
