Pam Sorensen’s 6th annual birthday bash at Mate was the must attend event of the summer. Some of the luminaries in attendance: Jim Kimsey, Founder and Chairman Emeritus of AOL; Mike Wilbon, Sports Journalist for Wash Post, Co-Host PTI on ESPN; Kevin Richards, President, Christiania Vodka; Kadrieka Maiden, Founder of Fashion Fights Poverty; Mark Ein, CEO of Venturehouse; Greg Baroni, President, Unisys Federal Systems; Philippe Cousteau, Chief Ocean Correspondent, Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, and President of Earth Echo International; Bill Dunlap, world renowned artist; and, Michael Saylor, CEO of Microstrategy.

And of course from the blogosphere, yours truly, Ken Yarmosh and Paull Young. Highlights of the night:

• Brief chat with Wilbon on Cubs baseball
• This Tweet afterwards from Young, “Lots of well known ppl I don’t know because I’m a cultural imbecile.”

Me, too, Paull. I didn’t recognize half of them and I’ve lived here since 1992 (yikes)!
