Reddit.com’s reader party last night in SoMa was well-attended and a good time. Great crowd and a cool atmosphere. Saw and spoke with a lot of people who I can’t help but think are a big part of the future of social media online.
But the highlight of the evening had to be the appearance of the one and only Frank Chu. For those not yet indoctrinated into the Chu fan club, Frank is a local San Francisco celebrity who manages to appear at the most happening spots around town with his trademark sign and generally well-mannered arguments against the ‘12 Galaxies’ and the people and circumstances behind them.
Frank and I were able to share a few tender moments together. He was expressive, congenial, warm, rather articulate and overall - professional. He was definitely the type of person that I imagine any reporter would want to interview. He knew the drill: go outside, put jacket on, put glasses on, get the sign ready, and stand with one leg only slightly behind the other. He was, to coin a term loosely, media friendly.
