<p>Usually it goes like this; The for the most part <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/1997/34/b354125.htm">power brokers</a> are invited to the tech event. Then the day of, an industrious PR chick, realizing that her own gender is way underrepresented, panics at the thought of &#8220;too many dicks on the conference floor&#8221; and calls up every woman she knows in the space, begging them to come.</p>
<p><a href="http://alexiatsotsis.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/img_13062.jpg"><img src="http://alexiatsotsis.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/img_13062-300x225.jpg" alt="img_13062" title="img_13062" width="300" height="225" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-200" /></a><br />
For better or worse this is not the case at <a href="http://www.techcrunch50.com/">Techcrunch50</a>, where women are vastly outnumbered (a big collective reader DUH). If you are a woman at these things you usually fall into one of two types:<a href="http://www.twitter.com/karaswisher"> ballsy journalist </a>or <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/05/business/05pr.html">well-manicured PR rep</a>. And you are probably a member of an organization called appropriately, &#8220;Girls In Tech.&#8221;</p>
<p>Which is why it came as no surprise to me, an<a href="http://www.laweekly.com"> L.A. native</a>, when an industrious young start-up founder approached me last night with the hit-on line, &#8220;Didn&#8217;t I see you last week at <a href="http://girlsintech.net/">&#8220;Girls In Tech&#8221;</a> Palo Alto?&#8221;</p>
<p>You have to hand it to him for trying.<br />
<span id="more-192"></span><br />
And speaking of trying, the big winner this morning from a news stand point (other than Techcrunch coetrie who broke the Mint news quel surprise) was Cnet&#8217;s Caroline McCarthy, who provided an<a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10351786-2.html"> insightful round-up of the morning presenters</a> before the presentation was even over.</p>
<p>And on the analysis bent, The Huffington Post&#8217;s Maya Baratz <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/maya-baratz/a-sundance-for-startups_b_285962.html">provides a comparison and dissection of Jason Calacanis&#8217; statement</a> that Techcrunch50 is the <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/09/14/the-value-of-techcrunch50-mint-acquired-by-intuit-for-170m-two-years-after-winning-tc40/">&#8220;Sundance of tech conferences.&#8221; </a></p>
<p>So no you didn&#8217;t see us at <a href="http://girlsintech.net/">&#8220;Girls In Tech,&#8221;</a> You saw us on the Internet, breaking your news and writing these blog posts.</p>
<p><a href="http://alexiatsotsis.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/img_1308.jpg"><img src="http://alexiatsotsis.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/img_1308-300x239.jpg" alt="img_1308" title="img_1308" width="300" height="239" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-194" /></a></p>
