Hey everyone!
Happy 2009! Woot?
I was going to type out a diatribe about how we're in a new year and how the possibilities are endless and the sky's the limit and it's a new day and don't let the economy get you down and although there are plenty of startups who are scared shitless about what's going on out there -- there are likely more who are actually digging in harder using this downturn time to tighten the screws and to get to know their markets better; you know, soul searching and finding it ... forging ahead, not getting get shut down... but I came to my senses.
I am, however, psyched to chirp about how SF New Tech is kicking off the new year in high style with some of the most killer startups around.
Mark it: January 14th @ Mighty 6:30-10pm.

No official theme this month -- but productivity seems to be a shared pursuit among the presenters. We've got a real treat in store.
Come on down and see how to efficiently share data, manage fundraising, protect email, lay down some tasks and build a killer an event -- thanks to Evernote, thegroupery, EnterTo, Manymoon and Eventbrite, respectively -- and then we'll buzz out of town with the help of the venerable David Sifry who'll demo his new awesome startup Offbeat Guides.
Let's band together and root these guys on. It's going to be a good year, indeed.
Demos on tap:

the groupery is an online productivity and fundraising service for volunteer groups, schools, parent-teacher communities, troups, church groups, sporting teams and others to manage their communications, take payments, volunteer sign-ups, manage their accounting, and raise funds a lot more efficiently.
EnterTo's patent pending technology gives you complete control over your email ... for the first time in your life.
Manymoon makes it simple to track your tasks and projects online. By using Manymoon you can avoid the chaos of email and better communicate with the people you work with. http://www.manymoon.com
