Will Jessup graciously let a bunch of the LA tech folks invade the headquarters of his company Citrusbyte, which happens to be a mansion equipped with pool. The idea was to relax and recover from the night of Karaoke at the Roxy the evening before. Upon our arrival we found a bunch of hooligans in the street. Francisco Dao decided that Tony Adam‘s car was in need of immediate protection from the sun and decided to wrap it in saran wrap for him. Beer included in case Tony got thirsty.

We finally made it inside and found that the pool party had a nice mix of people, great food, games in the house and plenty of drinks to go around. The sun was blazing hot enough, especially in the valley but the one major fail of the party was the ice cold pool. We are talking sub arctic here. A.V. Flox and Robyn Cohen were in no mood to let this slow them down, and after heating up on the grass, took a dip in the pool to do a little photo shoot, sports illustrated style. Hailey Bright spent some showing us her bathing suit skills as well. Seriously, does anyone know someone at Maxim we can contact?

Many of the guys were sporting swim trunks and showing a bit of leg, but I have to say I am sad that we missed Paige Craig in his banana hammock which was scheduled to appear and did not. Sarah Townsend braved the sun in her bikini which made more than one tech geek take notice. Gregarious was on on drink detail and did a fantastic job of supplying me with margaritas. Brett Petersel was still in town and being grilled the grass by A.V with her handy flip while Todd Cohen was getting in on the action and being rubbed down with a special blend of Hawaiian oils by his wife and yours truly.

Overall it was a great day in the sun with friends and at one point there was also whipped cream and strawberries involved but we soo don’t want to get into that. See more photos from the pool party in the video below by Mike Prasad. Big thanks Will and Citrusbyte for hosting!
