A strip club brings data nerds to the yard
The Web 2.0 Summit attracted the Valley's elite to the swanky Palace Hotel, but Oracle's OpenWorld conference, scheduled for November 11-15 at the Moscone Center, draws the far nerdier enterprise IT set. How do database dorks spend an evening in seedy San Francisco after a long day of conference sessions? A Market Street strip club knows. They're not interested in wining and dining networkers in hopes of attracting VC millions. No, they go straight to the city's many strip clubs to blow off steam accumulated from many hours in back office server rooms. The Market Street Cinema posted the above signage upon the conclusion of the Web 2.0 Summit anticipating a stampede of sex-starved database administrators. (Photo by ChannelWeb Network)
