Accepting that the beginning of the end of summer is on the horizon can be a drag. It’s times like these we must do everything within our power to totally rock the house… and what better way than with techies, brews and tapas?

Next week, online marketers from around the world are expected to flock to *crosses fingers* sunny San Francisco to attend Search Engine Strategies. Some come to share insider tips & techniques, some come to soak up new knowledge, or network with luminaries, or gain prospective clients… but when all’s said and done, we’re there to party.

Sensitive to this innate urge to cut loose after a long day of chowing on SEO, PPC & social media brain food, aimClear’s Marty Weintraub and PPC Expert David Szetela (Clix Marketing) plan to serve up some actual food. Oh, and booze. Announcing SchmoozeFest #SESSF 2010, Tapas & Beer Edition, baby!

Many thanks to our corp of bloggers this week in San Jose. Specifically, great job to Todd Mintz, Jennifer Osborne and Charlene Jaszewski and to Matt, Manny, Laura, Nam and Kat back at the office.
